The group TOURS is returning next month with a new album. This marks their comeback after about five months, following their achievement of being number one on the Melon 2024 annual chart with 'First Meeting Didn't Go as Planned' and sweeping major rookie awards at various ceremonies.
Their agency, Pledis Entertainment, announced on the 24th, "TOURS will release their mini album 'TRY WITH US' on April 21 at 6 PM."
TOURS' 'Hottest Twenty' has been teased. The album title 'TRY WITH US' carries the meaning of 'Let's try things we've never done together.' It is anticipated how the twenty-something emotions of TWS, which sang about the pure thrills and excitement of school days, will be expressed.
On the same day, TOURS released a logo motion for 'TRY WITH US' on the HYBE LABELS official YouTube channel. The video showcases familiar spaces where TOURS sweated and played in their previous work, such as gyms, basketball courts, and auditoriums. Memories from their school days are recorded on film and sent off in a rocket symbolizing the mini album. The video transitions from serene landscapes like clear skies, bicycles by the beach, and schools to intense images like a blazing skateboard and dazzling fireworks, hinting at the new changes to be encountered in the upcoming release.
Debuting last year, TOURS has made a significant impact with their unique genre 'Boyhood Pop,' which evokes beautiful sentiments in everyday life. Their mini album's title track 'First Meeting Didn't Go as Planned' topped the 2024 Melon annual chart, marking the first time a debut song has achieved this since 2010, a span of 14 years. Subsequent releases like 'If I'm S, You Be My N' and 'The Last Festival' have also been consistently loved, establishing TOURS as '2024's Best New Artist.'
TOURS' active performance continues into 2025. Their recent first fan meetings held in Korea and Japan sold out all six shows, attracting over 44,000 fans from both countries, showcasing their strong ticket power just about a year after their debut.
Meanwhile, pre-orders for TOURS' mini album 'TRY WITH US' will begin on the 24th at 11 AM.
