TWS to debut Korean-language “SODA SODA” performance on “M Countdown” Sept. 3

TWS has prepared a special gift for 42, the group’s fandom.

According to agency PLEDIS Entertainment on Aug. 28, TWS will appear on Mnet 〈M Countdown〉, airing Sept. 3, to perform the Korean version of “SODA SODA,” the title track from its second Japanese single, for the first time. The special performance is a surprise gift for fans at home and abroad who have shown the song tremendous support. The members plan to convey the fresh excitement of youth directly through familiar Korean lyrics.

“SODA SODA,” co-written by members Kyungmin, Youngjae and Jihoon, captures the fizzy rush of feelings toward someone special through a breezy city-pop sound. In the performance film released on Aug. 27, TWS maximized its signature refreshing appeal while perfectly pulling off a Y2K style against a blue ocean backdrop. Point choreography featuring the members’ thumbs and moves that form the shape of Japan’s iconic Ramune soda bottle radiate a refreshing energy capable of beating the summer heat.

The song sparked a huge global response immediately after its release. It swept the No. 1 spot in the dance category on Japan’s iTunes and Apple Music “Top Songs” charts, becoming the first K-pop song of the year to top Billboard Japan’s overall “Japan Hot 100” chart. In South Korea, it also proved its formidable popularity by entering Melon’s “Hot 100” and ranking near the top of YouTube’s trending music chart.

TWS, which has been actively promoting the album since its release, will carry the momentum across the Japanese archipelago with an Asia tour. The group will meet fans during the “2026 TWS TOUR ‘24/7:FOR:YOU’ IN JAPAN,” beginning in Fukuoka from Aug. 28-30, followed by Hyogo from Sept. 4-6 and Kanagawa from Sept. 12-13. TWS is also maintaining active communication with fans across a range of activities, including the recent release of the “Roommate Swap” episode of its original variety show 〈TWS:CLUB〉.
