‘Seventeen’s younger brother group’ TWS is a 6-member group.
As the solid performance skills and shining visuals of TWS's six members (Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin) are revealed, positive responses are pouring in, saying, 'This is indeed a Seventeen younger brother group.'
TWS pre-released the digital version of 'Oh Mymy: 7s (Oh Mymy)', one of the songs in their debut album, at 6 PM on the 2nd. In addition, the agency also released a special video (TWS Prologue 'Oh Mymy: 7s') where you can check the performance of this song on YouTube and SNS.
Until now, little was known other than information about TWS's debut schedule, group name, and pre-released songs. TWS, which stimulated the interest and curiosity of K-pop fans, showed itself as a promising K-pop star with a sound source of about 3 minutes and a 6-minute video.
Just like the message '7 seconds is enough' in the lyrics of 'Oh Mymy: 7s', TWS fully conveyed the confidence-filled energy of this song into their performance. The synchronized choreography, bright and explosive energy, and dazzling yet neat movements that unfolded without a break from the beginning to the end captured the attention of the viewers. This part gives us an idea of why TWS released this song first.
The pleasant melody of ‘Oh Mymy: 7s’ is also very addictive. The colorful variations and unique voices of the members increase the fun of listening to the song. In particular, it gives a glimpse into the sparkling and refreshing atmosphere of the independent genre 'Boyhood Pop' that they predicted.
'Oh Mymy: TWS became a hot topic on social media immediately after the 7s sound source and special video were released. The names of some members, including their team names 'TWS' and 'Tours', were posted on X (formerly Twitter) real-time trends, foreshadowing the birth of the next generation of global K-pop stars.
As of 7:40 a.m. on the 3rd, the number of views of the special video has exceeded 1 million views on YouTube, about 13 hours after it was released. Fans showed reactions such as “TWS, I can feel you gritting your teeth,” “I’m surprised that this is a pre-released song that isn’t a title song,” and “Just looking at the performance makes my heart swell.”
TWS' 1st mini album 'Sparkling Blue' will be released at 6 PM on the 22nd. They are warming up to their popularity with the pre-released song 'Oh Mymy: 7s' and are carrying out full-fledged debut promotion through a personal trailer (TWS: FIRST TIME), three concept official photos, track list, highlight medley, official teaser, pop-up store, etc. .
