TWS, the dynamic South Korean boy band, burst onto the scene in 2024, captivating audiences with their infectious energy and heartfelt music. Comprising six members – Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin – TWS was meticulously curated and nurtured under the guidance of Pledis Entertainment.
Led by the visionary producer and Pledis Entertainment CEO Han Sung-soo, TWS made their grand debut on January 22, 2024, with the release of their inaugural extended play (EP) “Sparkling Blue.” This debut masterpiece, labeled as “boyhood pop,” aimed to encapsulate the essence of boys’ daily lives. The EP was spearheaded by the single “Plot Twist,” which eloquently depicted the exhilaration of a first encounter.
Despite being newcomers to the industry, TWS quickly made waves, securing their first music show win on Show Champion a mere twenty-three days after their debut. Pledis Entertainment positioned TWS as the vanguard of a “next-generation” group, aiming to redefine the genre with their unique blend of youthful sincerity and musical talent.
In addition to their musical endeavors, TWS swiftly garnered attention in the commercial sphere, becoming brand ambassadors for prominent companies such as Lotte Chilsung Beverage’s Milkis, Shinsegae Duty Free’s “Play with Us” campaign, and the renowned British heritage brand Kangol.
Their meteoric rise to fame was further solidified by their victory at the 2024 Asia Star Entertainer Awards, where they were honored as “The Best New Artist.” With their boundless potential and unwavering determination, TWS continues to captivate audiences and carve their path to stardom in the vibrant landscape of K-pop.
