TWS, the six-member K-pop group formed under Pledis Entertainment, a subsidiary of Hybe Corporation, made an explosive debut in January 2024 with their first extended play, ‘Sparkling Blue.’ Featuring the lead single ‘Plot Twist,’ the EP quickly established their unique ‘boyhood pop’ genre. The track charted on the highly competitive Korean Melon music chart for nearly two years, becoming the most-streamed debut song of the year in Korea. Their rapid ascent was further solidified with their first music show win on ‘Show Champion’ just 23 days after debut in February 2024, earning them Rookie of the Year Music at the Asia Artist Awards and Best New Artist at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards in 2024. Building on their meteoric rise, TWS continued to captivate audiences with their second EP, ‘Summer Beat!’, released in June 2024.
This demonstrated their artistic versatility and exploration of an edgier sound. Their growing international presence was showcased through performances at prestigious global events throughout 2025, including KCON L.A., iHeartRadio, the MAMA Awards, the Grammy Museum, and VEVO Studios. These high-profile appearances underscored their rapidly expanding global reach and fan engagement. Further solidifying their impact, TWS received additional accolades in 2025, including Rookie of the Year (Daesang) at the D Awards, and Best Digital Song (Bonsang) and Rookie Artist of the Year at the Golden Disc Awards.
The group launched their first local tour, ’24/7:With:Us,’ in Seoul, South Korea, in June 2025. This was followed by their highly anticipated Japan debut tour, spanning Hiroshima, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sendai, Osaka, and Yokohama from July to August 2025, continually building their formidable international appeal.
