HYBE Allegedly Edited One Member Out Of New Boy Group TWS

Did they edit out a member?

HYBE recently debuted a new group called TWS. The group is under Pledis Entertainment and is SEVENTEEN‘s first junior boy group under their direct label. The group was carefully planned due to the high expectations as SEVENTEEN’s successor group. The finalized 6 members are Shinyu

…and Hanjin.

A day before the group’s official debut, an eagle-eyed netizen spotted something in their teaser content that raised suspicions.

Upon a closer look, you can see that there is an extra person directly in front of one of the boys. His legs were successfully edited out, but they left his upper body.

Fans speculate that there was originally supposed to be 7 members in total, but got cut to 6. Some even wondered if the re-filming and editing caused the group’s music video to look a little rushed.

The MV probably looked like that because they re-filmed it…

The theory is not completely impossible. One of TWS’s songs is called “Oh Mymy: 7s.” The number 7 could be referring to the original number of members as well.
