TWS Breaks Free from 'Refreshing Idol' Image with Bold Hip-Hop Pre-Release
by. ymchoi

TWS has unveiled a daring transformation, swapping their signature bright sound for a powerful hip-hop vibe.

On September 22, the group released Head Shoulders Knees Toes, a pre-release track from their upcoming 4th mini album play hard. The song showcases a side of TWS fans have never seen before—raw, fierce energy channeled through heavy beats and commanding stage presence.

Since debut, TWS had built their identity on refreshing concepts with tracks like Our First Meeting Didn't Go as Planned, If I'm the S, Be My N, and Isn't It Cool to Follow Your Heart. Yet the group has steadily expanded into hip-hop territory with songs such as Double Take, Draw a Comma Instead of a Period, and Freestyle.

Head Shoulders Knees Toes continues this evolution. The soundscape is heavier, while the performance pushes boundaries with its dynamic choreography. Their group dance with a large crew especially highlights their explosive stage power.

According to their agency, TWS proved their top-tier performance skills by executing a flawless kip-up dance break, cementing their status as one of K-pop's strongest live acts.

TWS will officially release their new mini album play hard on October 13.
