Since their official debut on January 22, 2024, with the EP Sparkling Blue, preceded by the pre-debut single “Oh Mymy : 7s,” TWS has been making waves in K-pop. Their fresh, youthful image caught the attention of fans worldwide. The group’s leader Shinyu quickly became a fan favorite. In fact, many now refer to him as a “stan attractor” because his visuals continue to draw new fans to the group.
Shinyu’s popularity soared after a fancam of him performing “plot twist” showcased his striking features and towering height. Standing tall at 182 cm, his lean physique, long legs, and proportionately small head lend him the appearance of a character straight out of a manhwa. Korean netizens have been raving about the rookie idol, dubbing him “the total package.” Comments have ranged from astonishment at his long, swan-like neck to praise for his overall appeal.
One might expect someone as handsome as him to be oozing with confidence, but he admitted to being “a bit shy” in an interview shortly after he debuted. However, he promised to work hard at overcoming his shyness in order to get closer to the group’s fans.

All eyes on Shinyu
Shinyu, whose birth name is Shin Junghwan, was born on November 7th, 2003, making him a Scorpio under the Western Zodiac and a Sheep under the Chinese Zodiac. He is of Korean nationality and identifies with both INFP and ISTP MBTI types. Shinyu was born in Yesan, Chungcheongnam, South Korea, into a family that includes his parents and two older sisters, born in 1997 and 2002. His educational journey took him through Yesan Primary and Secondary School and the Video and Music Content Department of Lira Art High School, as reported by fans on X (formerly Twitter).
Shinyu says the animal that resembles him is a sloth and brown is the color that best represents him. Winter is his favorite season, hamburgers are his favorite food, and he says his smile is his charm point. His favorite number is 1, so he must’ve been doubly thrilled when Sparkling Blue hit the top spot on the Hanteo Chart upon release. When he’s not dancing or singing, he draws, exercises, and goes bowling for fun. Finally, Shinyu has a fondness for baby giraffes, probably because they tower over everyone else like he does!
As Shinyu and his members continue to make a name for themselves by climbing the charts and landing major endorsement deals, all eyes will be on him and his striking visuals. – K-Pop News Writer
