TWS (Shinyu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Kyungmin) are making waves with their bold new image, trading their usual youthful, boyish charm for a "cold handsome" vibe.

Fans are buzzing over their transformation after a five-month hiatus, and the group’s latest concept photos for their upcoming single album Last Bell are capturing all the attention.

On November 12th at 10 PM, TWS shared the first official photos for Last Bell through their official SNS accounts. The photos, taken after their final graduation celebration, include 26 images, showing both individual and group shots.

The members are dressed in customized school uniforms, complete with accessories like headbands, glasses, and loosened ties, each adding their own personal touch to the look.

The group’s cooler, more mature visuals are a stark contrast to their previous, more playful style. Their relaxed yet charismatic expressions, paired with the lively festival setting, give off a unique, intriguing charm.

TWS's new single album Last Bell, set to be released on November 25th at 6 PM KST, explores the bittersweet emotions that come with parting. With this comeback, TWS aims to take their signature “Boyhood Pop” genre in a new direction, showing off their growth and maturity as artists.

This album is a step toward a more refined sound, marking an exciting chapter in their journey.

Before their official comeback, TWS will make an appearance on the Japanese year-end music program Best Hit Kayosai 2024, airing on November 14th (local time) on Yomiuri TV and Nihon TV.

They will also attend the 2024 MAMA AWARDS in Los Angeles on November 21st, continuing to expand their global presence through the end of the year.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
