As PLEDIS prepares for the launch of TWS, fans are eyeing on Kyungmin who is the youngest member of the upcoming K-pop group TWS.
The pre-debut group has been in the talks ever since their pre-release single, “Oh Mymy: 7s,” was released, and netizens can’t help but go gaga over all the individual members.
Fans have greatly anticipated more information about the members of the TWS. Here’s everything you know about the youngest member Kyungmin!
All you need to know about Kyungmin TWS
Kyungmin is the maknae of TWS, who is currently just 17 years of age. He was born on October 2, 2007, in Gyeonggi, South Korea. He was a former trainee under Big Hit Entertainment and switched to PLEDIS recently. He is the maknae of the pre-debut boy band TWS.
At the SVT Caratland event last year, he and his fellow bandmates were introduced by SEVENTEEN member Hoshi, with all the members’ faces covered. Kyungwin was spotted dancing to BSS‘ song ‘Fighting‘, which fans found endearing and showed them a quirky side of him.
Fans went into a frenzy when social media pictures of Kyungmin were circulated online. Even though he may not end up being the main visual of TWS, many found his facial features to be flattering and can’t wait for him to interact with his “Hyungs.”
What are the positions of the TWS members?
Each member of a K-pop band holds individual, or sometimes overlapping roles. Some of these are rappers, vocalists, maknae, visuals, and leaders.
As the eldest among the bunch, Shinyu will be holding the reins of the group as its leader. Ever since his days as a survival show participant, Shinyu has been revered for his vocal skills and the calming personality he shows onstage, which are viable qualities for a leader.
The purpose of maknae, or the youngest member, in a group, is to make band interactions seem cuter and adorable. As the youngest member is often babied by the elder members, fans find this endearing and this contributes to a group’s popularity. Kyungmin, the maknae of TWS, is the youngest at 17 years old.
Jihoon will be the band’s main rapper, performing his captivating rap verses throughout the group’s music discography and on-stage performances.
