The six-member boy group TWS, a younger sibling group of SEVENTEEN, launched the Tokyo leg of its first VR concert tour 'TWS VR CONCERT: RUSH ROAD' on May 16. The tour runs in Tokyo through June 24 and in Osaka from June 19 to July 2, using 12K video and 7.1ch surround sound to create a front-row experience. The concert previously drew over 40,000 attendees in South Korea with an 81% average seat occupancy rate.
The VR concert features original direction and stages filmed specifically for the format, with TWS performing songs including 'OVERDRIVE,' 'plot twist,' and 'Oh Mymy: 7s' in virtual spaces such as a rock festival, a sunset rooftop, and an aurora setting. A preview screening on May 15 for 90 fan club members drew immediate cheers and screams as attendees experienced the concert at what the production describes as zero distance from the members.
The project is part of HYBE JAPAN's 'VR NEXT STAGE 2026' initiative, which began in 2024 with the goal of giving fans access to HYBE MUSIC GROUP artists when they are not touring in Japan. The first VR concert, 'HYPERFOCUS: TOMORROW X TOGETHER VR CONCERT,' recorded a customer satisfaction rate above 99% in attendee surveys. TWS is the second act in the expanded 2026 lineup, following LE SSERAFIM.
