The group TWS showed off their sharpened variety skills in unpretentious everyday moments off stage.
TWS (Shin Yu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihun, Kyungmin) posted their own variety show 'TWS:CLUB' episode 'Welcome to our home | Lodger: TWS dorm life I EP.52' on the team's official YouTube and the global superfan platform Weverse on the afternoon of the 17th. It is a new episode of the 'Lodger' installment, which previously surpassed 1.77 million views and drew high popularity.
TWS's dorm life, full of a raw atmosphere, drew attention. Shin Yu, who remained calm despite the members' mischievous pranks; Dohun, who danced a cappella in an empty room; Youngjae and Jihun, who, after being absorbed in naked-hand mango mukbangs at the sink, belatedly realized their 'idol selves'; Hanjin, who was absorbed in opening deliveries; and Kyungmin, who kindly packed fruit for the filming crew—all displayed natural charms that revealed their personalities nonstop.
The members' increasingly strong chemistry also stood out. The leader Shin Yu, who leisurely ate ice cream and showed off a 'younger-sibling charm,' and the mature maknae Kyungmin, who meticulously organized the groceries, created a delightful contrast that drew laughter, and the playful back-and-forth between roommates Dohun and Jihun as they joked about who would shower first added more fun.
Interest in 'TWS:CLUB' is growing by the day. From 'Lodger,' 'Refreshing invitation,' and 'Wise health checkup' episodes—each surpassing 1 million views on the team's official social channels—to fortune-telling and past-life experiences, escape rooms, ski resorts, PC bangs, and jjimjilbangs, the varied content every episode gives viewers nonstop enjoyment. Fans who watched the videos poured out enthusiastic responses, saying, "The planning, editing and variety sense are perfectly in sync."
Meanwhile, riding on the success of the mini album 4 title track 'OVERDRIVE,' TWS is asserting themselves as a 'challenge hit maker.' The song surpassed 2.3 million uses (including original sound) on the global short-form video platform TikTok, and even five months after its release it remains fixed on major domestic music charts.
