The group TWS (Tourus), which sings about youth, has achieved 6 wins in music shows.
On the 4th, TWS (Shin Yoo, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Han Jin, Ji Hoon, Kyung Min) secured 1st place on SBS 'Inkigayo' with their mini album's title track 'Isn't it Cool to Jump According to Your Heart?'
With this, TWS has become the first Grand Slam champion of music shows this year. Starting from SBS M and SBS funE's 'The Show' on the 29th of last month, they topped all music shows they appeared on this week, including MBC M, MBC every1's 'Show! Champion', Mnet's 'M Countdown', KBS2's 'Music Bank', MBC's 'Show! Music Core', and 'Inkigayo'. Notably, this achievement is the first among 5th generation K-pop boy groups, proving TWS's strong presence just about 1 year and 3 months after their debut.
TWS expressed their gratitude, saying, "We promised to exist beside our fans, 42, in various colors like paint, but it seems that every time, you 42 give us even greater strength. We will work even harder as TWS in the future."
Their mini album 'TRY WITH US' is climbing various charts. This album topped the weekly album charts of Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart, and within 5 days of its release, it broke their own record for the highest first-week sales, becoming their fourth 'half-million seller'. It also ranked 2nd in the Japan Oricon 'Weekly Combined Album Ranking' and 5th in Billboard Japan's 'Hot Albums'.
The song 'Isn't it Cool to Jump According to Your Heart?' rose to 2nd place in YouTube's 'Trending Music' and has maintained a high position even after two weeks since its release. The song continues to rise in Melon's 'Top 100' and daily charts, preparing for a long-lasting popularity.
The refreshing energy that evokes the shining moments of youth is considered a key factor in TWS's popularity. 'Isn't it Cool to Jump According to Your Heart?' depicts the joyful challenges of being twenty and jumping in without hesitation at the moment your heart races. The sparkling melody flowing over familiar K-pop sounds, combined with the bright and energetic performances of the members, delivered a delightful excitement to the public.
Meanwhile, TWS will perform at 'KCON JAPAN 2025' held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan on the 11th, showcasing a refreshing stage to global fans.
