During the broadcast, Chaeyoung asked the fans to guess how many songs they will have in the new album. After a few guesses, Nayeon announced that there will be 13 songs.

The girl group also shared an episode from the music video filming for its lead track “Likey.”

“When we were filming for the music video, we sang the song in weird tunes not to leak out the new song,” Nayeon said.

“Among the 13 songs, there are some songs for which the members participated in writing the lyrics,” Jihyo said. “You can definitely look forward to it,” Chaeyoung said.

“Twicetagram” is set for release on Oct. 30.
