The group TWS (Tours) announced their comeback with a diverse concept. On October 2nd, TWS revealed the final official photo and concept film for their 4th mini album, "play hard," on the team's official SNS. The concept of this album is "hard mode," focusing on emotions that dominate youth. TWS captures and showcases the various deepening inner emotions experienced as one reaches the period of youth.
The members of TWS each expressed different emotions. Kyungmin showed immersion, constantly absorbed in something. Dohun revealed passion with a flushed red face. Jihoon portrayed being adrift, wandering while wounded. Hanjin expressed joy with a pure smile. Youngjae felt a sudden spark of a pounding heartbeat, and Shinyu depicted loneliness, with tears welling up in his eyes for no apparent reason. These six distinct emotions are conveyed in a simple and sophisticated atmosphere.
TWS's matured visuals are also drawing attention. Wearing calm monotone outfits, they expressed the complex feelings of imperfect youth with serious and delicate gazes. Close-up photos emphasized the members' sharp features, completing a deeper charm. The two previously released official photos have also attracted attention. The "play mode," which looks as if it jumped out of a comic, and the compact version (COMPACT Ver.), which exudes a pure aura, have gained popularity through word of mouth thanks to the unique comic-style direction full of personality and TWS's exceptional physical conditions that perfectly embody it.
The 4th mini album "play hard" will be released on the 13th at 6 PM. The album title carries the meaning of throwing all youth and passion into it and giving it your all. The pre-release track "Head Shoulders Knees Toes," released last month, drew attention with a powerful performance that was 180 degrees opposite to the bright and fresh previous works. On the 4th, the tracklist and the title song of "play hard" will be revealed.
Along with the comeback news, TWS was appointed as the official ambassador of the Korea Football Association. They will perform their first schedule as ambassadors on the halftime stage of the friendly match against Brazil, invited by Hana Bank, held on the 10th at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul. TWS's comeback and ambassador appointment are raising great expectations among fans.
