Having moved beyond being a "super rookie" to establish themselves as a mainstream act, the boy group TWS now sets their sights on the pinnacle of K-pop. The once-shy boys have grown into a group that aims for greater heights, armed with a solid inner strength and refined skills.

When asked about his future goals, Do-hoon did not hide his ambitious aspirations. "I always thought it was truly cool to see many senior artists receive the Grand Prize at award ceremonies, receiving a major award in front of so many singers," he said. "We are working hard and hope to win the Grand Prize in front of many artists as soon as possible," he revealed, stating a provocative yet candid goal.

TWS's ambition does not stop at award ceremony trophies. They are also aiming for an expansion of scale toward the global stage. "When we performed on the main stage of Japan's 'Summer Sonic,' I watched the senior artists up there and thought that one day, we would want to stand in that spot too. If given the opportunity, I hope we can reach a higher position," Kyung-min said, his eyes shining.

Leader Shin-woo also chimed in, "I definitely want to go on a world tour with my members at least once. I want to visit various regions and do fun things together. A world tour seems like it would be an opportunity for the members to become even closer, so that is our goal."

The driving force behind TWS's ability to look upward without wavering, even at a point less than three years after their debut, stems from their pure passion for their main work and their stage philosophy of pursuing perfection.

Speaking about the secret to maintaining his determination and conviction on stage, Do-hoon smiled and said, "I think my passion comes out because I purely love this job. As someone who loves dancing, singing, and performing, this profession fits me perfectly, which allows me to work harder and be more ambitious." Young-jae also expressed confidence, saying, "When it comes to live performances, all the members always have a mindset of not letting anything slip. In a way, it is something that should naturally be done. We try our best to deliver it, and because that ambition is reflected in our work, I think fans feel a sense of pride."

No matter how high the goal, it cannot be reached if the directions diverge. TWS members did not hesitate to cite "teamwork aimed at the same dream" as their strength.

"Teamwork changes depending on how each person thinks about the others. We are a group that shows everything together to the public, going beyond just living together," Ji-hoon said. "I believe that concrete results differ depending on how similarly we aim for high goals and how earnestly we approach executing them," he answered with maturity.

Young-jae added, "I think trial and error is what creates teamwork. Since all six of us are human, we cannot be 100% right all the time, but our goal to achieve together is the same, outweighing any disagreements." He noted that "the trial and errors in the process of moving toward the same dream have been elements that created our current good teamwork."

Even while dreaming of the Grand Prize at the highest level and a world tour, TWS's steps are not floating. "Rather than an obsessive feeling of 'I must shine more,' I think it is a sufficient step if today is better than yesterday," Ji-hoon said, promising a brighter tomorrow for TWS.
