The K-pop powerhouse TWICE has officially unveiled plans for their fourth full-length album, FOUR, set to drop this July. The midnight announcement came with a cryptic 15-second teaser where the nine members were styled in matching blue uniforms and synchronized hairstyles, standing still in disjointed formation against a pulsating baile funk and electro pop beat. The visual suggests a sharper, more unified direction for the decade-old group, hinting at their continued evolution beyond their signature bubblegum pop roots.
This marks TWICE’s first Korean full-length album since 2021’s Formula of Love, continuing their impressive decade-long career that includes nine studio albums and 14 EPs across Korean and Japanese markets. The group has consistently demonstrated their ability to evolve while maintaining their signature sound, from their 2017 breakout album Twicetagram to their 2019 mainstream crossover with the Fancy You EP. Their catalog of hit singles like “Cheer Up,” “TT,” and “Feel Special” has cemented their status as K-pop royalty.
The fanbase, known as ONCE, has a particular reason to celebrate, especially here in the Philippines. TWICE has visited the country twice before, delivering unforgettable performances at the 2019 TWICELIGHTS Tour in the SM Mall of Asia Arena at Pasay City and the READY TO BE Tour at the massive Philippine Arena back in 2023. These live shows demonstrated the group’s incredible stage presence and connection with international audiences.
With FOUR on the horizon, TWICE appears ready to enter a new creative chapter. The teaser’s sleek, unified visuals and fresh musical direction suggest the group continues pushing boundaries while staying true to what made them stars. As anticipation builds, fans worldwide eagerly await what promises to be another landmark release from one of K-pop’s most enduring acts.
