Pre-debut: New JYP Girl Group and Sixteen
In 2012, a video of Dahyun at church performing a “head-banging, wing-flapping, and thoroughly irrepressible dance” to Hillsong’s "The Power of Your Love" went viral and earned her the moniker "Eagle Dance Church Sister." She also appeared in a video teaser for Got7's "Stop Stop It.
On December 19, 2013, JYP Entertainment announced that they would debut a new girl group in the first half of 2014, the first female group to come out of the company since the debut of miss A in 2010.On February 27, 2014, well-known JYP trainees Lena and Cecilia was confirmed as members of the group, while other rumored members included JYP trainees Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jisoo (later Jihyo) and Minyoung.
After Cecilia's departure, JYP trainee Sana replaced her and 6mix was about to debut when Lena left the company, effectively canceling their debut.
On February 11, 2015, Park Jin-young announced that the lineup of JYP's upcoming seven member girl group would be decided through Sixteen, a competition survival show that would air on Mnet later that year.Park explained in a press conference prior to the show's airing that he hoped the group would "have the Wonder Girls' and miss A's natural, healthy feel, with an edgier and wilder side. I want to upgrade this next group by adding elements like hip-hop and rap."
The show began on May 5 and ended with Nayeon, Sana, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Mina, Jihyo, and Jeongyeon as the seven Twice members. In a surprise announcement JYP announced that he would be increasing the size of the group from 7 members to 9 and adding Tzuyu (who did not make the last cut) and Momo (who was cut earlier in the program). Tzuyu was added to the group as the "audience's pick" since she was the most popular contestant by the show's end and Momo was added by JYP himself since he felt the group needed someone with Momo's performance abilities.The decision was controversial at the time with many people complaining about eliminated contestants being able to join the group
