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.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
