TWS (Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin) appeared on KBS2’s “2025 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan,” which aired on the 30th. On the day, the members took the stage in sky-blue flight jackets styled in a fresh pilot look, creating a bright and lively atmosphere that thrilled viewers. Their performance of “OVERDRIVE,” the title track from their fourth mini album, opened with upbeat guitar riffs and highlighted TWS’s signature charm. During the “cute tantrum dance” segment, they sent the audience into a frenzy with playful gestures such as lightly biting their fingers, shaking their shoulders, and expressive facial acting.
They then performed “Isn’t It Cool to Run Following Your Heart?” the title track from their third mini album, delivering an electrifying thrill with perfectly synchronized group choreography. In the latter half, a dance break featuring rapid steps and high-difficulty choreography showcased their prowess and firmly established their status as a “next-generation performance powerhouse.”
A special unit performance also drew attention. Youngjae, Jihoon, and Kyungmin covered Stray Kids’ “LALALALA (樂),” exuding intense charisma. With sharp yet powerful movements, they demonstrated seasoned control over dynamics and impressed with flashy techniques such as backflips, leaving a strong impression as highly skilled performers.
Meanwhile, as TWS continues to shine on year-end stages, they are also meeting their fandom, 42, through their official self-produced content “TWS:CLUB.” A teaser video released on the 30th sparked curiosity by previewing a humorous skit in which youngest member Kyungmin transforms into a department manager at “Sai Company” and playfully takes control of the other members. The first episode of the returning “TWS:CLUB” will be released on January 6, 2026, at 9:00 PM (KST) via the group’s official YouTube channel.
