K-Pop Newcomers TWS Set for Explosive Summer Tour and Official Japanese Debut

Rising K-pop boy group TWS (Twenty Four Seven With Us), managed by Pledis Entertainment, is poised to make their official debut in Japan this summer, alongside launching their first arena tour in the country. The six-member group, composed of Shinyu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin, will headline the “2025 TWS TOUR ‘24/7:WITH:US’ IN JAPAN” starting July 11.

The tour will span six major Japanese cities with 13 scheduled performances: Hiroshima (July 11), Aichi (July 13–15), Fukuoka (July 17–18), Miyagi (July 25–26), Osaka (July 28–30), and Kanagawa (August 9–10). Prior to the Japan leg, TWS will stage a Seoul prelude concert, “2025 TWS TOUR ’24/7:WITH:US’ IN SEOUL,” from June 20–22 at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, meeting domestic fans before heading overseas.

TWS’s formal Japanese debut comes on July 2 with the release of their single “Nice to see you again,” originally titled “はじめまして” in Japanese. The single promises fresh, whimsical musicality packed with summery memories and youthfully vibrant vibes. The album features a total of three tracks, including original Japanese songs crafted specifically for the debut.

Even prior to their official debut, TWS has already garnered impressive popularity in Japan. Their debut Korean single album ‘Last Bell’ surpassed 100,000 units in cumulative shipments in Japan, earning a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. Moreover, their first Japanese fan meeting event in March, titled “2025 TWS 1ST FANMEETING IN JAPAN,” completely sold out all three shows, attracting a total audience of 30,000 fans.

Kicking off 2025 with strong momentum, TWS also achieved a grand slam in South Korea by ranking number one on six major music shows with the title track from their third mini album, “TRY WITH US.” This feat makes them the first fifth-generation K-pop boy group to reach such a milestone in just one year and three months since their debut.

As anticipation rises for their Japanese debut and subsequent tour, fans are eager to see how TWS will extend their signature “refreshing charm” to captivate local audiences across Japan. From explosive live shows to heartfelt musical storytelling, TWS is undoubtedly marking their territory as the next global K-pop sensation.
