For the nine members ofTWICE, all it takes is a one look for them to getthe feels.
We just get each other.
When were doing a photoshoot and some unexpected thing happens, we kind of look at each other.
We dont have to speak to each other words arent required.
We just make eye contact and know exactly what to do next.
That instant connection is the genesis of TWICEs first English-only song, fittingly titled, The Feels.
We are embarking on a new chapter of our lives by releasing an English single, she says.
Rapper Chaeyoung adds: Not only is this song very addictive it hasgreathooks but it shows who we are.
It shows our colors and our style.
We wanted to communicate with them better, Nayeon adds.
What were your thoughts when you heard The Feels for the first time?
Which of your previous singles do you see that similarity?
Sana & Nayeon:We think The Feels is a mixture between Like OOH-AHH and Cheer Up.
How would you describe the songs message?
Do you have any memorable experiences from filming the music video for The Feels?
Sana:The music video is a prom party with our dancers.
In it, we do some freestyle dancing and theres a part where Jeongyeon dances.
She really brightened up the mood of the entire studio.
How did you develop that sixth sense of the feels between members?
That made us understand each other better throughout the years.
Chaeyoung:We dont have a go at force each other into understanding where we come from either.
Rather, we respect each other and give a shot to see the situation from their perspective.
I think thats why we get along really well as a group.

TWICE:It would be Chaeyoung!
Chaeyoung:Im also the DJ for the stretching session we do before we go onstage.
I always play the warmup songs for our members.
Do you have any current favorite songs to play?
Chaeyoung:Its a mixture between slow songs and party songs.
I really enjoy picking songs and it kind of suits me.
I enjoy the time where Im preparing the playlist for the members.
Which member would you describe as the most athletic?
Nayeon:In terms of archery, its definitely Tzuyu whos the best.
In between releasing songs in Korean and English, TWICE also released their third Japanese studio albumPerfect World.
What is it like to record songs in so many different languages?
Thats the difficult part.
How has your approach to songwriting and song production evolved over the last six years?
We think about that a lot more these days.
Dahyun:I remember having trouble even trying at first.
Even though there were times when I doubted myself, I kept on trying.
How do you feel your choreography correlates to your music?
Mina:A lot of people look forward to our choreography when we release songs.
Thats why we make a run at incorporate choreography that people can follow easily.
We are also known for our dances, so we care a great deal about our choreography.
Your 6 year anniversary is this year.
What are some things youve learned about yourself as a member of TWICE over the years?
Momo:We really need ONCE.
Jihyo:Being part of TWICE taught me how relationships work.
Just like going to school, it taught me how human interactions work.
Mina:Something I learned when I became TWICE is that life can turn upside-down in a moment.
Tzuyu:My dream when I first became part of TWICE was holding concerts both home and overseas.
And meeting lots and lots of fans, and one day meeting fans from all over the world.
It made me really happy to see them happy.
Dahyun:I remember dreaming of the day when we would be in the top rank of music charts.
I hope this synergy continues forever, where ONCE and TWICE get energy from each other.
How does that dream compare to where you are right now?
Momo:When we started, we had a mixture of both really small dreams and big dreams.
Some of the dreams could be described as trivial.
Six years later, weve accomplished so much.
