• TWS, Winner of the 'AAA 2025' Best Musician Group Award

While TWS's (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) outstanding skills and handsome visuals are a major draw, their distinct personalities and fresh cuteness also contribute to the group's charm. In last year's interview, TWS created descriptive adjectives by highlighting each member's strengths. This time, we asked them to boast about themselves. What adjectives did they come up with for themselves?

Debuting in January 2024, TWS topped the annual charts on domestic music platforms and made a dazzling start by winning the Choi Da (수상) Rookie Group award that year. Now in their third year of debut, TWS continues to showcase new sides that highlight each member's unique charm with every album, while maintaining their 'refreshing' team atmosphere as an unrivaled leader in K-pop.

Returning with their fifth mini-album 'NO TRAGEDY' on April 27, TWS set a new record for first-week album sales, selling 1.11277 million copies during the first week of release (collection period: April 27 to May 3), securing the number one spot on the weekly album chart. The title track 'You, You' also entered major domestic music charts including Melon, Genie Music, and Bugs immediately upon release, and the music video surpassed 20 million views just six days after its debut.

Earlier, on December 6 last year, TWS celebrated at the '10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025' (AAA 2025) held at Kaohsiung National Stadium, where they received the AAA Best Musician Group award. During the ceremony, TWS's 'Antal Challenge' was highlighted, prompting other performing artists to join in the challenge, and their song 'OVERDRIVE' also made a reverse run on the music charts.

-Who is the most positive king among the members.

▶Members: Ji-hoon is the positive king.

▶Ji-hoon: I might look strong on the outside, but in fact, I'm easily swayed. I'm quite influenced by those around me, which is because the members around me are good people.

-Please boast about yourself. I'm curious what's the same as a year ago and what has changed. (The text in parentheses refers to the adjectives created by the members during the interview a year ago.)

▶Young-jae: TWS's delicate and sweet vocals

(Kyung-min→Young-jae: Young-jae hyung is, I think even fans know, four-dimensional. Charmingly four-dimensional. Even though I'm a member of the same team, I keep wanting to see him and get to know him more.)

▶Kyung-min: Someone who looks good in every color

(Do-hoon→Kyung-min: Kyung-min is a charm bag. It feels like good fortune has entered our team. Thanks to Kyung-min, the team feels brighter and fresher, so I'd like to call him Air Purifier.)

▶Ji-hoon: Someone who is bright and has a pretty smile

(Han-jin→Ji-hoon: If I were to describe Ji-hoon using a keyword in the Korean I know, he is Sincere Vitamin. Behind his bright appearance, there is also a serious side. He gives bright energy when with members, but is serious when practicing, which is truly amazing.)

▶Han-jin: Han-jin who lost baby fat and got to know himself

(Young-jae→Han-jin: Han-jin takes great care of himself and is very considerate. It's not forced; his consideration comes from the heart. He thinks deeply, making him comfortable and warm to be around. The adjective is Pure Sensibility Super-Hunk)

▶Do-hoon: Someone with his own values and a face that won't be disliked

(Shin Yu→Do-hoon: He looks sharp and crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Grilled Marshmallow. Sweet and very sweet.)

▶Shin Yu: A man like a door with leadership!

(Ji-hoon→Shin Yu: Shin Yu hyung seems to be A Subtle Comedy Character. He's subtly funny.)

-After being active for over two years, you must have grown close with the members. Compared to when you first met, has anything changed.

▶Young-jae: While living with the members, I gradually realized through our activities that 'these people are so delicate.'

▶Ji-hoon: I'm the opposite of Young-jae hyung. At first, I thought he would be delicate and like a flower in a greenhouse, but I came to think he is tough and cool. They are much cooler than I thought.

▶Kyung-min: They are like family. The hyungs treat me well, and I realize they are people with so much affection. I've newly realized that each of them has such deep feelings. Even if they don't show it much, there is affection.

▶Han-jin: Every single one of them is full of passion, and I've seen them face difficult or hard situations positively. That makes me proud.

▶Do-hoon: I also like that the members always speak positively beside me and show it through their actions. Thanks to them, I don't have negative thoughts and move forward in a positive direction together.

▶Shin Yu: As we've been together, I realized that I haven't seen children who are as sincere about the stage and their work as our members. I thought that if we are with these friends, even if trials come in the future, we will be able to overcome them well.
