The group TWS (TWS) will make a comeback on April 27.
TWS (Shin Yu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Gyeongmin) will release their fifth mini album "NO TRAGEDY" at 6 p.m. on April 27. Having gained popular attention with the "angtal challenge," which used the point choreography from the previous title track "OVERDRIVE," they are expected to once again shake up K-pop trends with the new release.
TWS announced their comeback by releasing an album teaser for the fifth mini album "NO TRAGEDY" at 12 a.m. on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel and the global superfans platform Weverse on the 30th. The video was first revealed as a surprise the day before (the 29th) at the 2026 TWS 2ND FANMEETING '42:CLUB' IN SEOUL, held at the Ticketlink Live Arena (formerly the handball gymnasium) in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul, and it received a warm response.
The video showed TWS, who had run breathlessly and gathered in one place. As the members, catching their breath in a dark space with flickering neon signs, suddenly turned around, the screen displayed the comeback schedule and the new album title "NO TRAGEDY." "NO TRAGEDY" is an album title that heralds TWS's new story of completing love autonomously rather than submitting to a predetermined fate. PLEDIS Entertainment Co. said, "Please look forward to the changed appearance of TWS, who have grown up a lot after their fresh boyhood days."
TWS has led popular trends with their distinctive genre "boyhood pop," which sings about sparkling youth. In addition to their debut song that shone as Melon's year-end chart No. 1 in 2024, "The first meeting didn't go as planned," songs such as "If I'm S, be my N," and "Isn't it great to follow your heart?" have received much love. Recently, with "OVERDRIVE," they sparked the "angtal challenge" boom, proving their streaming power and popular appeal.
TWS's activities on the global stage have also stood out. TWS ranked second, the highest position for an overseas artist, in the Oricon annual ranking 2025 newcomer rankings, and at the 40th Japan Gold Disc Awards they won the New Artist of the Year (Asia), awarded to the rookie with the highest sales that year. Furthermore, they were the only K-pop artist named on Rolling Stone's Future 25 (25 people who will lead the future music industry) list released this year.
