The group TWS (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, and Kyung-min) is preparing a special stage for their fandom, 42.

According to Pledis Entertainment, the HYBE music label, on the 28th, TWS will appear on Mnet's 'M Countdown' airing on September 3, making their first-ever performance of the Korean version of the title track from their second Japanese single, 'SODA SODA.' This special stage was realized in response to the enthusiastic reception from both domestic and international audiences for the song.

Released in Japan on the 4th, 'SODA SODA' expresses a heart swelling up like carbonation bursting toward someone, conveyed through a refreshing city pop sound. On this stage, TWS will convey the excitement of youth through familiar Korean lyrics.

TWS stated, "We are deeply honored to be able to present the Korean version of 'SODA SODA,' which many 42 members have loved. As it is a surprise gift prepared especially for 42, we hope you all enjoy it together. We look forward to your anticipation for another side of 'SODA SODA's' charm."

Immediately after its release, 'SODA SODA' received widespread love in Japan. It topped the iTunes and Apple Music 'Top Songs' Dance category in Japan, claimed first place on AWA's real-time trending chart, and became the first K-pop song of the year to reach the summit of Billboard Japan's overall song chart, 'Japan Hot 100.' Additionally, a challenge featuring point choreography that involves giving a thumbs-up has attracted participation from local top stars, generating buzz on social media.

Reactions in Korea are also hot. 'SODA SODA' has entered Melon's 'Hot 100,' one of Korea's major music platforms, and ranked high on the trending music list on Korean YouTube. The song's music video also secured third place on YouTube Korea's 'Daily Trending Music Videos.'

Meanwhile, TWS has been actively promoting in Japan since the release of 'SODA SODA.' From the 28th to the 30th, they will visit Fukuoka; from September 4th to 6th, Hyogo; and on the 12th and 13th, Kanagawa, as part of their '2026 TWS TOUR '24/7:FOR:YOU' IN JAPAN,' meeting with Japanese fans.
