At Yonsei University‘s “AKARAKA” festival, Pledis Entertainment‘s rookie boy group TWS performed fan favorites, including “Plot Twist.”
While performing, TWS ran into a small technical hiccup that cut off the background music…
…revealing member Jihoon‘s raw but unshaken live vocals.

The music for ‘Plot Twist’ stopped in the middle of AKARAKA, but it ended up revealing TWS’s live vocals… Sounds EXACTLY like their recording.

The audience can be heard audible-gasping as soon as the music dropped, but the vocals didn’t:

The music dropped during Jihoon’s part, but his mic was on… Here’s the fan cam. It happens around 0:08.

The “mic is on” moment soon went viral across online communities that soon began praising TWS’s well-roundedness and professionalism!

TWS proves they can sing live at their first college festival. This is insane, I’m crying.

TWS’s live vocals at AKARAKA! It surprised my baby giraffe, though. His eyes got so big! [Abridged]

The music stopped for a second, but the live was stable AF. You can hear the crowd go, ‘Wow’ and ‘Oooh.’ I am so proud of them. This gives me the confidence [to keep supporting them]. Go TWS!
