Above all, they launched pop-up stores in Seoul and Los Angeles simultaneously with the release of their new song, painting a big picture as a global group. TWICE will release their 14th mini-album 'STRATEGY' and the title track 'Strategy (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)' on December 6. Following the news from JYP Entertainment about an offline premiere event to celebrate the new album's release at midnight today (18th), they surprised fans with content that included part of the sound source of the title track 'Strategy (feat.

The powerful energy from the American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who participated in the featuring, heightens expectations for the new song. They are promising rich promotions to celebrate their comeback.
