Girl group TWICE's teaser poster has excited curiosity and speculation among fans about a new member. Their guess is wild but many suggest Jeon Somi could be added to the group.

The 15-year-old debuted solo after spending a successful year as a member of project girl group I.O.I . She has outshined other I.O.I members with fans hoping for her participation in TWICE from JYP Entertainment.

The teaser poster, released through Facebook Thursday and titled "Knock, Knock", stirred up plenty of questions as it has a notification bar, similar to those commonly seen on smartphones, that showed "1:9 CHAT" and "TWICE 02.20 0AM" heralding the comeback date.

Fans believe that 1:9 CHAT means a featuring artist who may join the nine-member group on its comeback single, or that TWICE could have a 10th member.

I.O.I, formed through a cable TV music audition show "Project 101", has been active only for a year. The project group disbanded in January and all 11 members went their own ways.  JYP has not disclosed details on TWICE's comeback.
