The group TWS (TourS) has achieved a quadruple win on music shows with their new song.
TWS (Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Hanjin Logistics, Ji Hoon, Kyung Min) secured first place with the title track 'Isn't it cool to follow your heart?' from their mini album No. 3, broadcast on KBS2's 'Music Bank' on Dec. 2. This marks their fourth trophy, following SBS M, SBS funE's 'The Show', MBC M, MBC every1's 'Show! Champion', and Mnet's 'M Countdown'.
TWS said, "Thanks to the 42 (fandom name) members, we are able to receive such a valuable award. While preparing music infused with the various emotions of youth, we pondered every day in the practice room about how to present a wonderful stage. We feel grateful to be rewarded with such a significant award and will continue to work hard as TWS."
The members who took the stage that day reflected the 'TWS-style freshness' with refreshing sounds and youthful vocals. Their powerful performance, reminiscent of a youth movie, provided a pleasant energy to the audience.
During the encore stage, TWS shared the joy of winning by showing love messages written on memo pads for their fans. Their solid live skills also shone through. The vivid singing, a testament to their practice, led to acclaim such as, "a stage that is enjoyable to listen to," "the song is refreshing, yet the live performance and choreography are executed with intensity," "perfectly handling tough choreography alongside live singing," and "a true all-rounder group."
'Isn't it cool to follow your heart?' is a 'twenty-year-old anthem' that conveys the message to embrace the moments when your heart races and to run towards what you desire. The lyrics depicting the sparkling moments of youth, along with TWS's performance that is 'following the heart,' resonate widely.
The mini album 'TRY WITH US' is performing well on album and digital charts. This album has topped the weekly album chart of the Hanter Chart and Circle Chart, reached second place on the Oricon 'Weekly Combined Album Ranking' in Japan, and placed fifth on Billboard Japan's comprehensive album chart, the 'Hot Album.'
The title track's rise is also notable. 'Isn't it cool to follow your heart?' first entered Melon's daily chart at No. 95 on Nov. 28, subsequently climbing to No. 91 (29th), No. 89 (30th), and No. 85 (Dec. 1). Their refreshing stage seems to have sparked a rise in popularity.
Meanwhile, TWS will appear on MBC's 'Show! Music Center' today (Dec. 3). In the broadcast, Young Jae will act as a special MC, partnering with current MC member Do Hoon.
