Producer and songwriter Rado (Song Joo Young) dropped a bombshell about TWICE’s hit “Like OOH-AHH.” The song, which launched TWICE’s iconic debut, was first offered to Red Velvet.

Rado, known as one-half of hitmakers Black Eyed Pilseung, shared this on the YouTube channel Sangsudong Jageobsir. He said the track was pitched to SM Entertainment’s girl group before landing with JYP’s TWICE.

This revelation stirred strong reactions online. Some fans wondered how the song might have sounded with Red Velvet, while others thought it never fit their style.
