TWS shot its Beyond concept film for the single TO US to look like CCTV, Street View and dashcam footage, with the six members sprinting through everyday frames. The group posted the film and matching official photos on its official SNS on the 15th, ahead of a November 2 comeback.

The photos show the members crossing a crosswalk, staring past stairs and down roads, and pushing a cart full of flowers. The poses read as people heading wherever their instincts point. In the film, the members run with a hand on the camera or race each other for the front, and the borrowed surveillance formats keep the footage looking unpolished and lively. It is a smart way to make a teaser feel caught rather than staged.

Six members, six personal clips

On the 16th, TWS (Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon and Kyungmin) followed with individual concept videos titled Being Myself, built on member interviews and each person's real habits. Shinyu strolls a street at ease. Dohoon, who draws energy from the people around him, laughs as friends toss him in the air. Youngjae leaves his planned route, parks the car and sits thinking.

Hanjin runs flat out to beat a bus. Jihoon starts dancing alone and ends up with dancer friends joining in. Kyungmin deliberately knocks down something he carefully stacked, a gesture the video frames as giving the present everything without clinging to old structures.

The road to November 2

The label has laid out the rest of the rollout:

  • 19th and 20th: official photos and concept films for the Everglow and Beside versions

  • 23rd: tracklist

  • 26th: highlight medley

  • 28th and 30th: official teasers 1 and 2

The full single and the title track music video arrive on November 2 at 6 p.m. KST. TO US is described as an unvarnished record of the group's thoughts and feelings after a run of challenges and trial and error, aimed at offering comfort and courage to listeners their own age.

TWS debuted in January 2024, and its debut song "Plot Twist" (첫 만남은 계획대로 되지 않아) finished No. 1 on Melon's 2024 annual domestic chart. With three version concepts and individual films, this rollout looks designed to let each member's personality show before the music does.
