TWS will release their second single album, TO US, on November 2 at 6 p.m. KST. Its three songs—“WE UP,” title track “내 이름을 불러줘 (Call My Name)” and “heavy”—arrive with a campaign that gives listeners several ways into the record before release day.

The most useful starting points are the members’ individual stories, their contribution to the title song’s words, and the different roles suggested for the three tracks. Here is what to look for—and what to watch—before the full release.

How did TWS get to TO US?

TWS’s story began with Sparkling Blue and “plot twist” in January 2024. Our Artist Hub follows that introduction through selected chapters, including the Japanese single SODA SODA. The wider catalogue shows why TO US is called their second single album, even after several years of releases: mini albums, Korean single albums and Japanese singles have separate sequences.

Who are the six people behind TO US?

The “Being Myself” series puts each member in his own short film. According to Billboard Japan, the six films were built around interviews with the members and reflect their actual personalities and habits.

That is a worthwhile detail to carry into the campaign. Instead of looking only for a shared visual concept, watch for what distinguishes SHINYU, DOHOON, YOUNGJAE, HANJIN, JIHOON and KYUNGMIN from one another.

“Being Myself” and the album title TO US also suggest an interesting question: how do six individual perspectives become a collective story? That is a way to read the campaign, rather than a verdict on an album that has yet to arrive.

What do the members bring to “Call My Name”?

YOUNGJAE, SHINYU and DOHOON contributed to the title track’s lyrics. Release coverage describes the song as expressing the group’s willingness to give themselves to the stage, supported by the fans who believe in them.

Those credits give listeners something specific to follow when the full song arrives: the words the members helped shape, and how those words connect the performers with their audience. For now, the first music-video teaser offers a short introduction—not the complete song or its full story.

What should listeners follow across the three tracks?

The published song descriptions point to three connected ideas. “WE UP” looks upward, with ambition at its centre. “Call My Name” turns toward the stage and the people supporting it. “heavy” offers reassurance to listeners weighed down by the world.

Read together, those descriptions move from striving to performing to finding support. Whether the finished songs create that same sense of connection is something to listen for on November 2.

The highlight medley is the clearest place to start. Listen across all three previews, then return to the full tracks on release day to hear how each brief introduction develops.

TO US gives fans more than a date to circle. The individual films introduce the people, the lyric credits point toward their contribution, and the medley opens a first window onto the music. The full picture arrives on November 2.
