Here’s the Google-translated article with some edits I made:
>*TWICE releases new songs consistently to the point where you wonder, ‘When will they ever take a break?’ and they always attract attention with their fun choreography. That’s why many people participate in choreography challenges. When releasing new songs this often, there is a chance that a song might come out that doesn’t meet expectations, but Twice always maintains a fresh concept and becomes a hot topic every time they release a new song. Twice is the origin of the expression “a pretty girl next to a pretty girl,” but these days, it is no exaggeration to say “good song followed by another good song followed by yet another good song.” They are on a roll every time a new song is released. So, what’s the reason behind Twice’s long-standing success? I asked Z.*

>*Z Yeonwoo: Twice made a comeback with ‘One Spark’ on the 23rd of last month. This is already their 13th mini album. ‘One Spark’ is a song that contains the youth of the nine members and Twice’s passion that always burns hot even when the cold wind blows. This song also ranked first on Billboard’s main album chart ‘Billboard 200’.*

>*Z Yeonwoo: Twice is famous for bringing a hit song every time they make a comeback. TWICE recently appeared on the ‘Killing Voice’ program where they sang their hit songs in a medley, and when Nayeon said, “Do you guys know ‘Cheer Up’?” people responded, “If you stop a passerby and ask that, everyone will immediately say ‘Cheer Up.’ There was even a reaction like, “You’ll even be able to dance the ‘Cheer Up’ choreography.” And there were so many hit songs that they couldn’t sing them all in the video. Among the many hit songs, there is one song that only the most loyal fans know, and that is ‘Look at Me’, which is making a comeback these days. ‘Look at Me’ is a song included in the first full-length album released in 2017, with ‘Likey’ as the title track. It’s a song that was sung a few times at solo concerts, but it has gained traction on TikTok when people started dancing along to the cute choreography, pointing as if saying “look at me” like the lyrics. Not only Twice’s fans, but also junior idols posted many challenge videos dancing to this choreography, and Twice members also participated in the challenge again. People who heard the song ‘Look at Me’ for the first time had many reactions such as “I thought it was a track from their latest album” and “I thought it was a new female idol song with a TWICE vibe.” “Look at Me” has become a song that resonates with today’s emotions. In a way, you can say that the lively concept that Twice does best has become a boom again.*

>*Z Yeonwoo: Although Twice is a 3rd generation idol group, they are not falling behind the prominent 4th generation female idols. The public has been with Twice since the heyday of K-pop, so even though there are many outstanding new female idols, they ultimately seem to acknowledge that Twice is the foundation of K-pop female idols. After this comeback, many people are reminiscing about their elementary, middle, and high school days while listening to Twice’s old songs again. Even back then, Twice was a singer who gave happiness to the public, and even now, Twice continues to show their energy with a happy appearance, so it seems that the heat has not cooled down.*

>*Twice is currently on their fifth world tour and recently performed at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, USA. I looked up the video after reading an article. Twice debuted in 2015, so they are already in their 9th year as idols. If there is a fan who became a fan when they were in their first year of middle school, that fan would have been in their senior year of college. Despite this, Twice is still refreshing, lively, and showing unwavering teamwork. Watching Twice continue to thrive unchanged made me think, “Oh, being a Once (Twice’s fandom name) must be really enjoyable.”*

I bought all three signed albums and the 9 mini albums at launch, but hadn’t actually listened to the album. I thought look at me was on the new album from all the dance challenges posted on YT.
