MiSaMo

MiSaMo (, stylized in all caps) is the first sub-unit of the South Korean girl group Twice formed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of Twice's Japanese members, Momo, Sana, and Mina. They debuted in 2023 with the extended play Masterpiece.

Name
The subunit's name, MiSaMo, is a portmanteau of the names of members Mina, Sana, and Momo. Prior to the subunit's formation, the members often used the term "MiSaMo" to refer to themselves.

History
In 2012, Sana and Momo were originally planned to debut in a four-member girl group in Japan; however, JYP suspended the plan due to the deterioration of the Korean-Japanese relationship following the Liancourt Rocks dispute. In 2015, the members participated in Mnet's Sixteen, a competition survival show to decide Twice's lineup.

In February 2023, JYP announced that MiSaMo would debut with an extended play of seven tracks, including "Bouquet", originally released for TV Asahi's Liaison: Children's Heart Clinic, on July 26. Ahead of the EP's release, the song and music video for Marshmallow was released on June 15. The group held their debut showcase titled "MiSaMo Japan Showcase 2023" over five days in Osaka and Yokohama, beginning on July 22. The five shows sold 40,000 tickets from more than 600,000 ticket applications. In December 2023, the group participated in the 74th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, where they performed "Do Not Touch".
