Meet the Members of TWS

Pronounced ‘Two-Us’ and standing for TWENTY FOUR SEVEN WITH US, TWS is made up of six members whose combined energy and chemistry have made them one of K-pop’s most exciting acts

Lead Single “You, You” — A Feel-Good Ode to Romance

At the heart of NO TRAGEDY is the lead single “You, You” — a track that perfectly encapsulates what TWS do best. Built around the irresistibly playful cadence of a hook repeating “Dda-rum,” the song channels the unfiltered rush of falling deeply for someone, expressing those feelings with clarity, confidence, and zero hesitation. The result is an addictive, feel-good anthem that unfolds with an unstoppable sense of momentum.

“Rather than yielding to fate, TWS reinterpret the idea of ‘star-cross’d lovers’ into ‘star-crushing lovers’ — pushing forward in defiance and reclaiming control over their own love story.”

The Music Video: Defying Destiny

The official music video for “You, You” takes the song’s themes of love and self-determination to thrilling visual extremes. Opening with the ominous warning ‘BEWARE THE STAR’S CURSE AGAINST LOVE,’ the video sets a tense, cinematic tone as the members face down an overwhelming cosmic force. What follows is a masterclass in playful storytelling — from heart-shaped water streams aimed at a looming star to high-energy bicycle chases — before each member confronts the star in their own way, culminating in a striking, triumphant moment as it shatters into radiant fragments. It is a bright, self-determined narrative that perfectly reinforces TWS’s youthful perspective on love. Watch it below:
