JYP launches new girl band 'Twice'

JYP Entertainment will debut a new girl band on Oct. 20.

Named “Twice,” the girl band will have nine members, including Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo and Sana. The members were participants in the survival audition program “Sixteen” that JYP Entertainment co-ran with mNet.

The band will be the talent agency’s first girl band in five years, since the debut of the popular missA.

“’Twice’ will feature the healthy and distinctive charms of its members, who have been working hard,” JYP said.
