TWS World Cup Song ‘Dream With Us’ Drops June 11 for Korea
TWS World Cup song news is official: the PLEDIS boy group will release “Dream With Us,” the official cheer anthem for South Korea’s national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, on June 11 at 6 p.m. KST. The track already had a soft launch — it debuted live at the Korea vs. El Salvador friendly on June 4. With the Korea Football Association having named TWS official ambassadors back in fall 2025, this is the payoff: a K-pop group formally scoring the country’s biggest sporting event of the year.
What the TWS World Cup song is
Per Soompi’s report, the key details:
- Song title: “Dream With Us”
- Release: June 11, 2026, 6 p.m. KST, as a digital single
- Role: official cheer song for South Korea’s national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
- Label: PLEDIS Entertainment (HYBE)
- Live debut: performed at the Korea vs. El Salvador friendly on June 4, 2026
- Background: the Korea Football Association named TWS official ambassadors in fall 2025
Thematically, “Dream With Us” is built for the moment — PLEDIS describes it as “the story of youth running toward a shared dream,” with a message about belief in miracles helping make them real. A member said the group is “truly delighted to be able to support the Republic of Korea’s national soccer team,” pledging to “root for them with all our hearts.” It’s a textbook anthem brief: collective, hopeful, stadium-ready.
Why the TWS World Cup song matters
K-pop and Korean sport have crossed over before, but the timing here is everything. The 2026 World Cup — the first 48-team edition, co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico — will be the most-watched tournament in history, and an official cheer song is a national-identity slot, not just a brand deal. Handing it to TWS rather than a veteran act signals the KFA is courting a younger, globally online audience.
For TWS specifically, it’s a profile leap. The group debuted in 2024 and has built a steady following, but a national-team anthem puts them in front of an audience far beyond the usual K-pop fandom — casual sports fans, older viewers, and the entire country during match days. The El Salvador friendly debut was the test run; the World Cup itself is the main stage.
It also fits HYBE’s broader playbook. From Le Sserafim’s Hollywood soundtrack placement to Netflix tie-ins, the company has been threading its artists into mainstream non-music cultural events. A World Cup anthem is the sports-world version of that same strategy — meeting global audiences where they already are.
What to watch with the TWS World Cup song
- Release: June 11, 2026, 6 p.m. KST on major streaming platforms
- Where you’ll hear it: expect it at Korea’s national-team matches and World Cup broadcasts through summer 2026
- Chart watch: anthem singles often spike around match days — track its performance after Korea’s group-stage games
- Context: Le Sserafim’s “Supergirl” placement is HYBE’s most recent crossover for comparison
- New to TWS: the PLEDIS group debuted in 2024 — start with their title tracks to hear their bright, youthful sound the anthem leans into
The bottom line
The TWS World Cup song “Dream With Us” is a small release with an outsized stage — a 2024-debut K-pop group scoring Korea’s run at the biggest World Cup ever. It drops June 11, and you’ll be hearing it on every match day after. Track K-pop crossovers, releases, and World Cup tie-ins in our K-Pop & Drama News section.
