Chaeyoung is a member of the South Korean girl group TWICE, and this scream circulated among fans from around the group's Dance The Night Away era in 2018. Clips from variety appearances, live streams and behind the scenes footage from that period were frequently cut into short reaction sounds by fans. As K-pop edits spread on TikTok and YouTube, the isolated shriek became a reusable punchline separate from its original moment, valued because it is instantly recognisable to ONCE, the group's fandom, yet still works as a generic scream.
About this sound
Chaeyoung from TWICE lets out a short high pitched scream from the DTNA era, now used as a K-pop reaction sound for shocking or funny moments.
This is a very brief clip of Chaeyoung from TWICE letting out a sudden, high-pitched scream that lasts just over two seconds. It is not staged as a song vocal but a spontaneous, startled shriek with a sharp attack and a slightly cracked, youthful tone. The abruptness is what makes it land, cutting through music or dialogue and instantly signalling surprise, panic or playful overreaction. Viewers familiar with TWICE recognise her voice immediately, while others simply hear a funny, exaggerated reaction that needs no context to understand.
