The Melody Project is a side-project by TWICE members to showcase their solo abilities. The project was released in late 2016, with three videos by Mina, Sana, and Chaeyoung. The goal was to have each member have their own music video, but it ended up being put on hold by the beginning of 2017 due to TWICE's busy schedule. Over the years many rumors have surfaced of other members releasing Melody Project music videos, all of which were to be proven false. In May 2020, Jihyo's Melody Project in which she covered Jang Hye-jin' "A Late Night of 1994" was released. Nayeon's melody project was released in December 2020 where she covered Ariana Grande's "Love is Everything". Dahyun and Chaeyoung became the first TWICE members to do a Melody Project together in February 2021, and Tzuyu's first was released on June 28, 2021.

2017/08/21 | Melody Project : 'Serenade of Jihyo'
Jihyo took a twist to her Melody Project in 2017 that she decided to perform live at a small venue (~100 people) with a live band. It was initially Nayeon's idea as they may not be able to film a music video due to their busy schedule. [1] The live sessions was streamed on VLive and Jihyo performed songs including TT (Jazz Version), Unbreakable Smile by Tori Kelly, Butterfly by Rhythmking (feat. UG & Sarah Lee), All about that bass by Meghan Trainor, Angora (앙고라) by Moonmoon (문문) and One late night in 1994 by Jang Hye Jin.
