Rookie boy group TWS is making waves once again! This time, the six rising stars—Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin—graced the cover of Esquire, showing off their sophisticated visuals and effortless charm.
On February 19, Esquire unveiled its March 2025 cover, featuring TWS in a stylish collaboration with the French luxury brand CELINE.
Titled “A Glorious Journey,” the pictorial symbolizes TWS’s exciting new phase following their action-packed debut year. As official CELINE ambassadors, the members rocked pieces from the CELINE HOMME Summer 2025 collection, blending youthful energy with a mature aura.
Even though the outdoor shoot took place during a sudden cold snap, the members stayed professional and focused, impressing the staff with their dedication. Their natural chemistry and flawless visuals made every shot look effortless, proving they are more than just rookies—they're rising stars!
In their interview, TWS members reflected on their growth, ambitions, and deep bond.
Leader Shinyu shared his thoughts on their journey so far, saying, “Everything we’ve learned has been so important for what’s coming next. We’re giving 100% to every moment.”
Dohoon, the group’s playful mood-maker, smiled as he revealed, “I joke around a lot! I just love being around people. If I were a dog, I’d probably be a long-haired Chihuahua.”
Meanwhile, Youngjae spoke about his drive for improvement, saying, “Singing and dancing are just the basics. I’ve learned that every single detail matters.”
Looking back on their first year, Hanjin expressed his gratitude, saying, “I was never lonely because I got to sing and dance with my closest friends.”
Jihoon, who has shed tears at several TWS milestones, opened up, saying, “I cry because I’m surrounded by people who helped me discover who I am. I want to keep walking this path with them.”
Youngest member Kyungmin beautifully compared TWS to a ship setting sail on an unknown journey. He reflected, “The ocean ahead is unpredictable, but we have to give our best. And just like a real ship, we rely on our crew—our staff—to help us navigate.”
With their unwavering teamwork, undeniable talent, and endless ambition, TWS is ready to take on the world!
