The group TWS (Tourus) kicked off their popularity by achieving excellent performance on the day of their new album release.
According to the album sales aggregation site Hanteo Chart, TWS's mini album 3, 'TRY WITH US,' sold 456,557 copies on the day before its release, landing straight to No. 1 on the daily album chart. The 456,557 copies represent the team's highest record for first-day sales. Their previous single album, 'Last Bell,' sold 338,719 copies during the same period.
Not only in the domestic market but also in the iTunes and Apple Music album charts in the Greater China region, TWS has shown strength. Following the previous release of three albums that all achieved 'half-million sellers,' this new work is also expected to be their 'career high.'
The music tracks are gradually gaining momentum as well. The title track 'Is it not cool to run with your heart?' featuring a refreshing sound has climbed to the top of Bugs and Genie real-time charts right after its release. After entering the Melon 'Top 100' at No. 99 at 11 p.m. on the 21st, it jumped 13 spots to No. 86 at midnight on the 22nd, reflecting the combined usage of the past 24 hours and the most recent hour.
The response to the music video is also enthusiastic. The music video for 'Is it not cool to run with your heart?' beautifully captures the fiery moments of youth and quickly increased its views right after its release, ranking No. 7 on YouTube Korea's 'Rising Popular Music Videos.' Comments such as "As the last teenager and a high school senior, I hold on to this album and try to endure," "TWS perfectly sings the hearts of youth growing through the process of becoming bigger," "This song reminds me of the happy memories of college festivals decades ago," "I feel like I returned to 20 years old just by listening to it" reflect the experiences and praises from people of all generations who empathize with the youth depicted by TWS.
'TRY WITH US' is an album that captures the hot energy of twenty-somethings bravely jumping into new things. It tells the story of boys who once found 'first encounters' difficult growing into youths who do not hesitate to challenge, cherishing the joy of running together across six tracks.
TWS will begin their music show activities starting with Mnet 'M Countdown' on the 24th. As a 'fifth-generation all-rounder' team boasting excellent vocal skills, they will showcase their live abilities on various radio broadcasts. They will appear on KBS Cool FM 'Lee Eun-ji's Gayo Plaza' on the 23rd, SBS PowerFM 'Wendy's Young Street' on the 24th, and KBS Cool FM 'Oh My Girl Hyojung's Raise the Volume' on the 25th.
