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.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
