The team recently released a series of teaser images of "Knock Knock" featuring each of the members, which has become an instant hit.

Now, the girl band will be staging their first comeback on 'M! Countdown'— Mnet's music show on Feb 23.

TWICE has been soaring high in popularity and last year, the nine member team created history with the pre-order bookings of the Christmas edition of their third mini-album 'TWICEcoaster: Lane 1.' According to their agency, JYP Entertainment, the album has surpassed 115,000 pre-order booking before release. The girls also had a dream run by selling about 225,000 copies of their two versions of the third mini-album. According to the Gaon chart, the girls sold 220,000 copies of the album so far, making TWICE the highest selling girl group in Gaon's history as well.

In addition, their single 'TT' secured 100 million YouTube hits in just 71 days, becoming the fastest K-pop group to achieve it. With this, they have broken their previous record of 100 million views in 207 days for their single 'Cheer Up.' The album was released on October 24, 2016, and contained seven tracks, including the lead single, 'TT' produced by Black Eyed Pilseung who also composed Twice's hit songs 'Like OOH-AHH' and 'Cheer Up'. TT's music video has the members showcasing different personalities and famous characters through Halloween-themed cosplays.

After their debut in 2015, the road to success was never a catwalk for TWICE but they made sure to trounce all the hurdles with hard work and excellence. Today, with an amazing fan base across the globe, TWICE is already compared to two legendary Kpop Girl Bands, 2NE1 and Girls Generation. They are also one of the few Kpop bands to top the Billiboard charts for more than 4 weeks.
