K-pop girl group Twice is getting ready for its return to the spotlight.

The nine-member act is currently working on a new release, scheduled to be unveiled sometime next month, according to the group’s management agency JYP Entertainment on Wednesday.

Although the date and the concept behind the upcoming release is as of yet undecided, the girl group is reportedly collaborating with Black-eyed Pilseung, the leading producer and songwriting duo behind the group’s hit tracks “Like Ooh-Aah” and “Cheer Up.”

Most recently, Twice released its second mini album “Page Two” in April. The title track “Cheer Up” gained wide global popularity. The song’s official music video became the most-viewed K-pop video worldwide the same month it was unveiled on YouTube.

Earlier this year, the girl group was featured in American weekly magazine Variety’s annual Youth Impact Report, which highlights young up-and-coming artists from the entertainment industry across the globe.

Twice, which is a rookie band, debuted last year through Mnet’s girl group competition program “Sixteen.”
