Korean Netizens React To TWS’s Debut Showcase Photos

HYBE‘s boy group just made their debut on January 22, 2024. TWS is the newest successor group from Pledis Entertainment, and they are also the first junior boy group for SEVENTEEN.

The boys participated in a debut showcase on that day. They were introduced to the public as Shinyu…

…Youngjae…

…Dohun…

…the only Chinese member Hanjin…

…Kyungmin…

…and Jihoon.

The group consists of 5 Korean members, and one Chinese member.

Netizens were quick to pen down their first impressions of the boys. As their label is a high profile one, this came as no surprise. Some comments were scathing, appraising the boys’ visuals.

• It’s a pity that they are a small group.
• I can’t wait for the song.
• Oh, seems like Pledis is debuting a new boy group. Their proportions are daebak.
• Hmm, they have a different feel from in videos.
• Shinyu…
• Why are the photos so vague? They were handsome in the videos…
• Are the journalist photos weird? Everyone looks bad in these.

• Anyway, they’re all pretty handsome…
• They don’t suit the refreshing concept… They’re forcing the refreshing vibes.
• What’s up with their clothing?
• Hmm…
• The judging of their visuals is insane.
• The hair, makeup, and clothes are okay though? I’d be f*cking grateful if my idols were given those. They put in effort.
• What’s up with the people judging their visuals?
