Boy band TWS to release World Cup anthem to cheer on national football team

Boy band TWS will release "Dream With Us," an anthem for Korea's national football team, on Thursday, according to its agency Pledis Entertainment on Friday. The song was written to cheer on the national team as it prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America. Built around the message "if we believe in miracles together, then miracles begin," the track celebrates the passion of young people who rally behind a shared dream. "Dream With Us" had its world premiere at Korea's final pretournament friendly against El Salvador in Salt Lake City on Wednesday. A promotional video posted the same day on JTBC's official social media channels shows the members dressed in red shirts, waving Korean flags and chanting "Korea, fighting!" The clip also features a preview of the song. TWS was appointed as an ambassador for the Korea Football Association last October and has since served as a bridge between the national squad and its fans. "We are truly happy to be able to support the national football team through music," the band said in a statement. "We will cheer with all our hearts so that the players, who have worked so hard to prepare for this World Cup, can put on a wonderful performance." The sextet — Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon and Kyungmin — debuted in 2024 with the EP "Sparkling Blue" and has since released "Plot Twist" (2024), "If I'm S, Can You Be My N?" (2024) and "Countdown!" (2025). BY LEE JIAN [[email protected]]
