Girl group TWICE has scored an all-kill in all major South Korean music charts Monday with its comeback track "Knock Knock" included in the group's new album.
The nine-member group's popularity is at its peak. After topping the real-time charts of major music services -- Naver, Melon, Olleh and Soribada, the music video, uploaded onto YouTube, garnered over 3.7 million views in less than 12 hours of its release.
Recognizing popularity of the new album "TWICEcoaster: LANE2", experts and fans predict the girls will bring up another syndrome. TWICE has become the most successful girl group in 2016, selling more than 340,000 copies of "TWICEcoaster: LANE 1", released in October last year.
They say the new song may break 10 million hits on YouTube in less than a day to set a new record. The current record holder is BTS, also known as Bangtan boys, which scored 10 million hits in less than 48 hours with its new track "Spring Day" last week.
