The group TWS (TWS) completed an unpredictable roommate relationship chart, bringing cheerful laughter to fans.
TWS (Shin Yu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihun, Kyungmin) on the 25th released the episode "transfer roommate" of their own variety show TWS:CLUB in full on their official YouTube channel. This episode was planned as a concept in which members who actually share the dorm room become each other's "X (former roommate)" and set out to find a new roommate, as a sensibly parodied piece of content of a popular dating reality program.
The behind-the-scenes details from actual dorm life and the members' personalities and habits were conveyed in the poignant and tender language typical of dating shows, stimulating viewers' dopamine. The members looking for a new roommate and the members still holding on to "X" had conflicting inner feelings, creating a strange tension and bursts of laughter.
Especially from the "X introduction" segment, tense inner feelings were revealed. Shin Yu said, "I hope X only looks at me," showing honest feelings, but Youngjae actively began looking for a new connection. Dohun, who coolly said goodbye, had his heart shaken the moment he saw Jihun, and Hanjin also showed signs of wavering at Kyungmin's remark, "I hope X chooses me again."
In the following random dates, surprising pairings popped up. Jihun and Kyungmin, who went on the pool date, heated the mood with the direct remark, "I'm more curious about Mr. Kyungmin than Kyungmin's 'X'," and Dohun and Youngjae grew closer sharing small tastes in the attic. Meanwhile, Shin Yu and Hanjin confirmed their lingering feelings for each other at karaoke and formed an alliance to attempt a reunion, turning the scene into a sea of laughter. The next episode teases an episode where members directly request dates, raising expectations.
Meanwhile, TWS set a personal record with sales of 225,853 copies in the first week of their second Japanese single "SODA SODA," released on the 4th. The title track "SODA SODA" became the first K-pop song this year to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Japan composite song chart Japan Hot 100.
Continuing their global momentum, TWS will start solo concerts "2026 TWS TOUR '24/7:FOR:YOU' IN JAPAN" beginning in Fukuoka from the 28th to the 30th, then in Hyogo from Sept. 4 to 6, and in Kanagawa on Sept. 12 and 13, where they will connect with local fans.<
