How I came to know about TWICE as a K-Pop Group
After talking about FLOW (which I will probably discuss them again in a future post) and Girls' Generation, I wanted to start a post dedicated to talking about TWICE. Below I have included three ratings: the Entertainment Rating to show how much enjoyment I got out of the video, the Quality rating to show the video's quality and the Quirkiness rating to show that how weird the music video was that it caused me to laugh so hard (it is a very positive thing rather than negative). A low Quirkiness rating however is not bad, it just means the song and music video feels more normal and may not have caused me to laugh as hard, yet still has a high entertainment value.
It may be surprising to both you and me, but I have only started to listen to TWICE since August of 2022. Even though they have been popular since 2015, I have not listened to them in nearly three-quarters of the time that they have been together as a group- which is regrettable because they are one of my favorite K-Pop groups of all time. Not only that, but perhaps one of my favorite groups in singing, period. With TWICE's ten year anniversary coming up this October, let's look back at some of their best music videos yet and apply the ratings.
The Three TWICE Videos and Their Ratings:
"Heart Shaker"
The first music video I saw of them was "Heart Shaker" back in 2022 . During my time watching the video and after having watched it, I thought that all nine members were very skilled at entertainment. Their singing was great, but there was something about how the song mixed in with the video itself and the dancing that made it very quirky and funny at the same time. As a new viewer of TWICE in 2022, I never realized that they only had nine members. One should be sure to watch it all the way to the end because the absurdity of it which adds to it being hilarious. Don't forget to count how many members there are at the beginning and compare it with number at the ending of the music video! (TWICE, JYP Entertainment, 2017)
"Dance the Night Away"
Another song I tend to re-watch of theirs is "Dance the Night Away" . It was also a funny song because it makes you imagine what would happen if a group of nine K-Pop stars were stranded on an island and all of a sudden started singing and dancing out of nowhere. It makes you wonder if there is an audience watching them whereas "Heart Shaker" may suggest that there is an audience. (TWICE, JYP Entertainment 2018)
Entertainment Value: 9
Quality: 10
Quirkiness Rating: 9
"Likey"
Lastly, there is "Likey" . While what happened during the song and music video was not as weird as the other two mentioned, it still had funny moments in my view. The settings of the cafe, city streets, dressing room, park, etc. contribute to a solid and entertaining music video, but doesn't seem out of the ordinary as an abandoned island. The dances in the video would be a perfect addition to a dancing video game. (TWICE, JYP Entertainment, 2017).
