TWS, a six-member K-pop boy group consisting of Shin Yu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin, is set to perform on Fuji TV’s annual year-end program, the 2025 FNS Music Festival, on December 3. The festival, which sits alongside Kohaku Uta Gassen as Japan’s premier year-end specials, marks TWS’s second consecutive appearance on the FNS stage, signaling strong local popularity. The group’s return to the lineup underscores their rising profile in Japan as a key global act.

Last year, TWS captivated audiences with their debut track performed at the festival, First Meeting Didn’t Go as Planned, famed for its precise choreography and fresh, buoyant energy. The group has continued to expand its footprint in Japan, with a wave of performances and media attention fueling their ascent.

Since debuting in Japan, TWS’s popularity has shown steady growth. Their Japanese debut single, Nice to See You Again, has surpassed 250,000 copies sold and earned the Gold Disc Platinum certification. Their latest mini-album, Play Hard, has also charted near the top of Oricon’s weekly albums ranking and Billboard Japan’s Top Album Sales.

Moreover, TWS expanded their festival presence in Japan by performing at Rock in Japan Festival 2025 in September, and they are slated to perform at Countdown Japan 25/26 on December 27.
