Sailing strongly with its latest number "Yes or Yes," K-pop girl power TWICE performed the song in an unusual circumstance over the weekend ―
at their manager's wedding.

All nine members of the JYP Entertainment bandwagon lined up in front of the couple and sang their sixth mini-album title that came out this month.

But instead of the full choreography, they each simply held a microphone and moved only arms, heads and pelvic areas in a constrained manner.

When and where the wedding took place remained unknown as of Monday.

Hundreds of wedding guests recorded the performance on smartphones.

"When we go 'Yes or Yes,' you have to do it twice, are you ready?" a band member is heard saying before the gig in a video clip posted on Twitter, Saturday.

Because the camera was far from where the stars were, it was not clear who spoke or what she meant by "do it."

But in another video clip that captured the gig from behind the married couple, the groom is seen kissing the bride two times as the stars perform.

The appearance by the entire crew surprised many because speculation before the wedding was that the group would be too busy.

Some post-wedding tabloids linked the stars' appearance to their close friendship with the groom.

The invitation card included a message using the titles of the band's hits since its debut in 2015. Starting the message with "One in a Million," the card said, "'Candy Boy' approached with 'Ooh-Ahh' and 'Knock Knock'" and "Although you may find yourselves 'Likey' or 'TT' (the letters resemble closed eyes with tears dropping down), we will 'Cheer Up' each other and forever live 'Merry & Happy'." The message ends with "Let's Dance the Night Away!"

The invitation card was photographed and posted on Twitter on Nov. 10. The couple's names were covered with heart-shaped sticky notes to keep the names secret.

A group photo released online shows the celebrities with the couple, whose faces were digitally covered as well. At the center of the group behind the couple is JYP CEO Park Jin-young.

"Yes or Yes" dominated selective Korean online music charts on Monday. The band anticipates the dance number will be their 10th consecutive hit with more than 100 million music video clicks on YouTube.

The band with members from Korea, Japan and Taiwan was also the most influential K-pop girl band in October, according to the monthly Brand Reputation Report released by big-data research firm Korea Reputation Center.
