Rookie K-pop boy group TWS is stepping into the FIFA World Cup spotlight with their new anthem, 'Dream With Us,' a move that surprised many fans and quickly ignited widespread discussion on social media. The song, produced under Pledis Entertainment, is designed to support South Korea's national football team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
TWS to Release FIFA World Cup 2026 Anthem 'Dream With Us'
According to Pledis Entertainment, 'Dream With Us' carries a hopeful message centered around unity and belief. The track aims to energize both football fans and players as South Korea prepares for another World Cup campaign in North and Central America. The song made an early appearance during Korea's final pretournament friendly against El Salvador in Salt Lake City, where a promotional video showed the members in red outfits waving Korean flags and shouting 'Korea, fighting!' The teaser gave fans a preview of the song's bright and youthful sound.
TWS shared a heartfelt statement after the announcement: 'We are truly happy to be able to support the national football team through music. 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 group's connection with Korean football is not new. TWS became ambassadors for the Korea Football Association last year, helping bridge younger fans with the national team through campaigns and events.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Anthem Reactions Divide Fans Online
As clips and promotional photos spread online, fan reactions quickly turned mixed. Some supporters celebrated the opportunity, while others openly doubted whether TWS could deliver the energy expected from a World Cup anthem.
One user wrote, 'Honestly? It's going to be shit. They have voices that are way too sweet.' Another commented, 'It better be energetic song not cute at all,' reflecting concerns that the group's softer image may not fit football culture. Not every reaction was negative, though. Fans also flooded social media with support. 'So happy for them my tws,' one supporter posted, while another simply wrote, 'Excited.' Others were more shocked than critical. 'Who are they?' one comment read, while another fan joked, 'Hybe is doing anything at this point, anything is possible with money.'
Whether praised or criticized, TWS has already achieved one thing before the song's official release: people are paying attention.
