No girl group in the history of KPOP has been stronger in their 9th year than Twice.
When girl groups reach 9 years, some members have left the group or members have moved out of the dorm or the group has all but stop promoting.
Not Twice.
They are still promoting, still at the top of the charts, still doing world concerts, still all together and all live in the same building except in different condos.
There will never be another girl group like Twice that has that staying power to keep together.
