‘Rookie Chart-Toppers’ TWS to Make June Comeback! Anticipation for Pre-Release Track Soars
Rising boy group TWS has confirmed their comeback this June, heightening fans’ anticipation. While specific details remain under wraps, the announcement of a pre-release track has already generated significant buzz.
TWS emerged as chart-toppers with their debut track, “The First Meeting Doesn’t Go as Planned” (hereafter “The First Meeting”). The song continues to dominate major music charts such as Melon, Bugs, Flo, Genie, and YouTube Music, even four months after its release. The song, which compares the fresh first encounter of youths to sparkling moments, achieved top positions on daily charts of platforms like Bugs and Apple Music Korea and has maintained its high rankings both domestically and internationally.
TWS is the first boy group Pledis Entertainment has launched in nine years, following SEVENTEEN. Combining Pledis’s creative prowess with HYBE’s robust infrastructure, TWS drew attention even before their debut as the “most anticipated rookie of 2024.” The group has been praised as a “complete group” due to the members’ exceptional vocal and performance skills, visuals, and their friendly and kind charms.
Their first mini-album, “Sparkling Blue,” has sold over 500,000 copies (according to Circle Chart as of late March), further cementing their popularity. TWS also clinched five wins on music shows and, within three months of debuting, won their first rookie award, proving their status as the top rookie of the year.
A key factor in TWS’s success is their “natural and relatable musical expression.” Their unique genre, “Boyhood Pop,” characterized by lyrics that evoke the beautiful emotions of youth and refreshing melodies, distinguishes them from existing K-pop acts. Their soft harmonies and songs create a distinct charm, driving their phenomenal popularity.
One notable aspect of TWS’s long-lasting success is the “easy listening” nature of Boyhood Pop. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether the pre-release track in early June will feature the same catchy melodies that surpassed the popularity of “The First Meeting.”
As TWS has solidified their position as rookie chart-toppers, all eyes are on their upcoming comeback to see if they can achieve yet another success. The group’s natural and relatable musical style is highly anticipated to continue captivating fans and the general public alike.
