TWS to release second single 'To Us' on November 2

Six-member group TWS will release their second single, 'To Us', at 6 PM on November 2. Coming approximately six months after their previous release, the single shifts focus from the excitement of encounters to the members' own inner thoughts, concerns, and growth.

A letter has arrived for TWS, sent from TWS to TWS. It is a letter containing the emotions, unspoken worries, and the hearts built through trial and error felt by the six members. While they have previously sung about the excitement of first meetings and feelings toward others, they are now revealing their own stories. TWS will release their second single, 'To Us', at 6 PM on November 2. This comeback comes approximately six months after their previous release. The album title, which shares the same pronunciation as the group's name, carries the meaning "To Us." The six members intend to convey courage and comfort to those living in the same era by sharing the emotions and concerns they have faced during their growth.

A story from the six members sent "To Us"

The single 'To Us' focuses on the stories of TWS themselves rather than others. While their previous songs captured the excitement of unfamiliar encounters, the moment of being attracted to someone, or youth running toward their hearts after shaking off hesitation, this new release tells of the concerns and emotions the six members currently hold. The album title is pronounced the same as the team name and means "To Us," as they express through music the words they want to say to their current selves.

Pledis Entertainment announced the news of the single release, stating that the six members will reveal various emotions and concerns to provide courage and comfort to those living in the same era. The agency noted, "This is a new song where you can meet the sincere stories of TWS, who have run tirelessly through 2026 and become even more solid. We ask for great anticipation regarding how the experiences and growth accumulated by the six members are melted into this single." The album is expected to contain stories encountered during the members' experiences and growth process.

Content released ahead of the new album also dealt with the members' inner selves. In a trailer released on the 7th, the members spoke about the thoughts they had before stepping onto the stage. When asked about moments when competitiveness arises, they answered, "When I realize that someone else has what I do not have." The video also included confessions that while they try to believe in themselves, it is still difficult. Through this video, the agency conveyed the unrefined sincerity of the members.

'Boyhood Pop' that has sung the daily life of youth

Since their debut, TWS has translated various scenes of youth into music. Their debut song, "plot twist", sang of the excitement and clumsiness felt before an unfamiliar encounter. In "If I'm S, Can You Be My N?", they captured the moment of being unconsciously attracted to someone. "Countdown!" depicted the image of youth running toward their hearts after shaking off hesitation. 'Boyhood Pop', which translates trivial scenes encountered in daily life into music, has established itself as the musical color of TWS.

In this album, the perspective on youth turns toward the members themselves. While previous songs used encounters, attraction, and moments of moving hearts as subject matter, 'To Us' centers on the concerns and honest hearts of the six members. In videos released ahead of the comeback, the members spoke about their efforts to believe in themselves and the competitiveness that arises when facing the strengths of others. The agency explained that the members' accumulated experiences and growth are contained in the new album.

The stories of youth sung by TWS were delivered alongside a bright and fresh image. The content for this single places more weight on the individual thoughts and daily lives of the members rather than the encounters or relationships with others that their previous music mainly dealt with. The members directly speak of their concerns in videos and convey their current emotions through the album. The agency announcing the comeback also introduced the new album as a sincere story in which the members' experiences and growth are melted.

Content containing life off-stage and contemplation

The individual concept video 'Being Myself', released on the 16th, captured the daily lives of the six members off-stage. SHINYU walks the streets alone, and DOHOON laughs while being tossed in the air by people. The video was directed based on the members' actual personalities and usual habits. It is composed to show the actions and atmosphere revealed in their daily lives, not just their appearance on stage. Following the trailer where members directly spoke about what they think, their images were conveyed through individual videos capturing their daily lives.

The 'Everglow' concept photos released on the 19th captured the members lost in thought while sitting in a dark field. This is a different atmosphere from the bright and fresh image TWS has shown previously. In the trailer, they spoke of the concerns and competitiveness before going on stage, and the individual videos captured the members' usual appearances and habits. The concept photos showed scenes of contemplation against a dark field background. Each piece of released content captured the members' thoughts, daily lives, and atmosphere in different formats.

The official video also contains the feelings of the members as they look at their colleagues stepping onto the stage together. When asked about the expressions they hope for from one another, they said, "I hope it is an expression I do not know. It will be more than just a happy expression." At the end of the video, a scene follows where the members throw their whole bodies under bright lights. The agency explained that they captured the members' sincerity through screens with a texture achieved through interviews. The videos, photos, and individual concept videos were released in order ahead of the comeback.

A comeback through million-sellers and tours

TWS reached number one on the 2024 Melon annual chart with their debut song "plot twist". Subsequently, the so-called 'Angtal Challenge' for "OVERDRIVE" gained public popularity. The choreography, featuring shoulder shaking with cute movements, became a hot topic in the entertainment industry and on social media (SNS). Following this, they became million-sellers with their 5th mini album 'No Tragedy' released this past April. According to reference articles, the album sold more than 1 million copies just four days after its release.

Reference articles reported that TWS conducted their first Asia tour 'Twenty Four Seven: For You' for a total of 15 performances in 8 cities and expanded their overseas activities by appearing on various festival stages. Regarding the schedule ahead of the comeback, attendance at 'MMA2026', held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 14th and 15th, was announced. As this is a single released approximately six months after recording a million-seller with their previous work, this album is expected to contain the experiences and growth accumulated so far, as well as the emotions and concerns held by the members.

TWS's second single 'To Us' will be released on November 2 at 6 PM. The album title contains the same pronunciation as the team name and the meaning "To Us." Through the new album, the members intend to convey their concerns and emotions and provide courage and comfort to those living in the same era. The trailer, concept videos, and photos released ahead of the comeback sequentially captured the members' inner thoughts and daily lives.
