TWS (pronounced ‘Two-Us’) gave their fans, 42 (SAI), a perfect reason to celebrate the romantic season. Following the Feb. 9 release of their digital single “Nice to see you again (Korean Ver.),” the group put out a stunning performance film on Feb. 11. Both releases arrived just in time to set the mood for Valentine’s Day. Fans also get to see the sextet return to their signature “Boyhood Pop” style, bringing a refreshing energy that feels both new and familiar.
“Nice to see you again (Korean Ver.)”
Listeners will recognize the track as the Korean version of their Japanese debut single, “はじめまして/Hajimemashite,” which was released in July 2025. The original release set a high bar for the group. It hit No. 1 on Billboard Japan’s Hot 100 and earned a Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipping over 250,000 copies. TWS decided to release this official Korean reimagining because such an achievement is rare for any K-pop group’s debut in Japan.
When it comes to the lyrics, the song captures the specific excitement and butterflies of reconnecting with someone unexpectedly. Each member balances subtle emotions with the unstoppable and lovable energy that has become their trademark.
Moving over to the visuals, the new performance video places the members in school uniforms against a soft garden backdrop filled with blooming flowers. Every move in the choreography serves the story. For example, lyrical gestures like gentle waves of greeting and shapes mimicking fireworks in the night sky fill the screen. These scenes play out like a coming-of-age movie. Eventually, the video ends with a direct greeting from the members to the audience to stir up a sense of nostalgia.
2026 looks busy for the group, as “Nice to see you again (Korean Ver.)” acts as a mere prelude to the musical growth and new projects TWS has planned for the rest of the year.
