K-pop girl group Twice releasing new mini album in February

K-pop superstars Twice once again prove why they're one in a million. The girl group, which is currently on a break from their record-breaking world tour, has announced that they will be releasing a brand new mini album on Feb 23 – less than a year after their previous one, Ready To Be.

Titled With You-th, this release will be the group's 13th mini album. According to a report by South Korean publication, Korea JoongAng Daily, the album's title tells the story of "someone who is always with you during your beautiful youth".

In a teaser video released on Jan 2, the nine members of Twice – Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu – can be seen frolicking in a forest as melancholic sounds play in the background. The words "Just like we always do" and "It's our golden days" flash on screen, hinting at the potentially introspective nature of With You-th. 

A few fans have also highlighted that the ethereal costumes worn by Twice are reminiscent of the nine muses in Greek mythology, another potential hint of the album's concept.

In the lead-up to With You-th's release, Twice will be releasing a pre-release single titled I Got You on Feb 2. Physical purchases of I Got You can only be done in the US, a sign that the song might be in English.

Twice enjoyed great success in 2023. Their previous mini album Ready To Be sold millions of copies worldwide and its accompanying world tour set several records for the group, including being the first K-pop girl group to sell out SoFi Stadium and MetLife Stadium in the US. This July, Twice will be the first foreign female act to headline a concert at Japan's Nissan Stadium.
