Group TWS has captured the most radiant moments of youth in a new pictorial.
TWS took center stage as the cover stars for the 34th issue of the star style magazine 'DICON,' showcasing a diverse range of charms that drift between boyhood and youth. From pure, innocent hearts to deeper, more mature gazes, the pictorial encapsulates their journey of growth as they transition from their teens into their twenties.
TWS explained the message behind the pictorial, saying, "We want to remind people who don't realize they are in their youth about what youth is." They added, "It captures our most natural selves. Our fans, 42 (their fandom name), will be able to see sides of us they haven't seen before," raising anticipation.
This edition of 'DICON' features two distinct concepts. Type A, titled 'Dear My Boyhood,' captures the pure, boyish charm of TWS. The members naturally express childhood nostalgia by spending time with puppies, skateboarding, and playing retro games.
Their bright smiles and playful antics under the warm sunlight radiate TWS's signature bright and refreshing energy. In a free-spirited atmosphere where they seemed completely unbothered by the camera, the members perfectly captured moments of youth shared among peers.
On the other hand, Type B, 'Tiny Wonder Stories,' is styled with a more dreamy atmosphere. Gathering in a space resembling a secret hideout under glowing neon lights at night, the members enjoy games and chat, exuding a more mature vibe. Their deeper gazes and subtle smiles in the lazy night air complete a charm entirely different from before.
The unit interviews also draw attention. The older members—SHINYU, DOHOON, and YOUNGJAE—and the younger members—HANJIN, JIHOON, and KYUNGMIN—shared candid stories they have never revealed before. The members also expressed their serious thoughts on 'Boyhood Pop,' the genre they pursue.
In particular, TWS expressed their sincere hearts as growing youths, sharing their genuine desire to "give back even greater love to the fans for all the love we have received."
Meanwhile, pre-orders for TWS's 'DICON' Issue 34 will begin on May 22 at 2 PM.
