[OSENWORLD] After a six-month hiatus, rising boy group TWS returned to the spotlight, sharing heartfelt thoughts on their new mini album Play Hard during a media showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul on October 13.
Play Hard captures the spirit of youth and passion — an invitation to throw themselves fully into the moment. Across six tracks, TWS tells stories of ambition, energy, and self-discovery, hoping to connect with fans through their most dynamic music and performances to date.
Shinyu opened the showcase by saying, “This album shows every side of us that we couldn’t express through our pre-release track Head Shoulders Knees Toes. I hope everyone looks forward to it.”

Hanjin described the record as “an explosion of youth,” adding, “It wasn’t always easy preparing for this album, but overcoming challenges together made it even more meaningful.”
Youngjae shared, “Just like the lyrics of our pre-release track, we prepared this album with the mindset of breaking through our own limits. I hope everyone enjoys it with all their hearts and energy.”
Dohoon emphasized the passion behind the project, saying, “Our 4th mini album represents what we truly love.” Meanwhile, Kyungmin admitted, “I’m thrilled to be making another comeback. Every track on this album feels like my favorite song — that’s how much we poured into it.”
Finally, Jihoon reflected, “While preparing this album, I learned a lot about myself and what I love to do. I’m so happy to have worked on it with these precious members. We can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working so hard on.”
TWS’s 4th mini album Play Hard, featuring the title track OVERDRIVE, dropped on October 13.
