The group TWS is strengthening its global activities by appearing at Japan's representative year-end music festival. According to HYBE Music Group label Pledis Entertainment on the 6th, TWS is scheduled to appear on FujiTV's "2025 FNS Music Festival," which will be broadcast on December 3rd. The "FNS Music Festival" is a major year-end special program in Japan, attracting significant viewer attention alongside the "Kohaku Uta Gassen." TWS will perform on this stage for the second consecutive year, which is seen as proof of their high local popularity.

Last year, TWS made a big splash at the "2024 FNS Music Festival" by performing their debut song "First Meeting Didn't Go as Planned." The stage at that time drew much attention from the audience with its perfect choreography and fresh, vibrant energy. This year, TWS is showing even more explosive growth, and there is keen interest in what new performances they will present.

TWS's popularity in Japan continues to rise steadily. Their Japanese debut single released in July, "Nice to see you again (original title はじめまして / Hajimemashite)," has surpassed 250,000 cumulative sales and received the Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. Additionally, "First Meeting Didn't Go as Planned" surpassed 50 million cumulative streams as of September, earning a Gold certification in the streaming category. This is the only achievement among K-pop boy groups that debuted after 2024, highlighting TWS's unique presence.

Their recently released 4th mini-album "play hard" has also entered the top ranks on the latest Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales, continuing their momentum. TWS is receiving love calls from major festivals in Japan for their energetic performances and outstanding stage presence. In September, they appeared at Japan's largest music festival, "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025," and they are scheduled to perform at the year-end representative festival "COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26" on December 27th.

These activities by TWS contribute to the global spread of K-pop, and their successful progress in the Japanese market is expected to have a positive impact on other Asian countries and the global market in the future. TWS is strengthening their relationship with Japanese fans through their music and performances, and continuous growth is anticipated going forward.
