If you are recently interested in K-pop, it's hardly possible that you don't know TWICE. TWICE is one of the hottest girl groups in South Korea. TWICE's first title song, 'Like OOH-AHH'(2015), and the second one, 'CHEER UP'(2016), hit the jackpot, drawing keen public attention. 'TT', the title song of the 3rd mini album, made people's eyes shining with great expectations, as soon as it was said that TWICE's new song would be made public.
Let's cut to the chase: did TWICE live up to public expectation? I'm not sure if they did, since I am not an expert on K-pop. However, at this time I would like to hazard a guess that they didn't. Of course, from a performance perspective, 'TT' is a great success. As you know, it has been ranked number one since its publication. But, concerning the musical quality of the track, it might not. For example, the sound of hand clapping, used in the track, is harsh to the ear. In other words, the song doesn't have any impact at all because of the weak clapping sound. It contrasts with their previous tracks. 'Like OOH-AHH' and 'CHEER UP' has really strong beats, causing TWICE and their songs to look cheerful and healthy. Even though 'TT' captures a part of TWICE's strengths, it is obvious that it sounds less cheerful and healthy.
I can't enforce constancy on TWICE, but I think that they're really penny-wise and pound-foolish at this time. In conclusion, they're like a charmingly decorated doll. Unfortunately, they got weaker. I expect their new song to get more confident, and to show their entire charm.
