The group TWS opened the prologue of their new release's narrative with a comeback trailer that exudes a cool tension.
TWS (Shin Yu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Gyeongmin) uploaded a new release trailer titled 'OPENING SONNET : star-cross'd lovers (the ill-fated lovers separated by the stars)' to HYBE Labels' YouTube channel on the 10th. This content, using the phrase (star-cross'd lovers) that appears in the prologue of Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet,' sparked various speculations and interpretations about its meaning even before its release.
The overwhelming feelings of TWS in love fill the screen. Dohun beams at the confession delivered by a text message saying "I really like you," and Gyeongmin, carefully wrapping a gift for someone and recording the moment, evokes fresh excitement. Reading 'Romeo and Juliet' and tracing the words "star-cross'd lovers" with his hand, Youngjae conveys a serene beauty like the calm before an approaching storm.
This happiness is short-lived as the mood soon reverses. Shadows of anxiety fall over Shin Yu and Hanjin, who are lost in thought, and Jihoon, who anxiously checks something. A swan ornament that the members were looking at falls, and a warning appears on the screen saying "BEWARE THE STAR'S CURSE AGAINST LOVE," amplifying the tension. The boys' excitement shatters in a space that trembles uncontrollably, and a sharp graze leaves a red wound on Hanjin's cheek. A blinding, unidentified light rushes toward TWS, the silhouettes of members trying to stop it are shown, and the video ends, arousing curiosity about the fate that will befall them.
TWS will release their fifth mini album, "NO TRAGEDY," on the 27th. The album contains TWS's new story of claiming love for themselves and forging their destiny. With the new release trailer foreshadowing TWS facing a crisis before love, interest is focused on how they will proactively fulfill love going forward.
TWS continues the comeback momentum with abundant content. From the 13th to the 19th, a weeklong content series called "today's fortune" will be released, and on the 13th to 15th the compact official photo versions "HUSH," "BLUSH," and "RUSH" will be unveiled in order. Then the track list will be released on the 20th, a highlight medley on the 22nd, and two official teasers on the 23rd and 24th will be posted sequentially. On the album release day (the 27th) at 8 p.m., they will hold an on- and offline comeback showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul, where they will present the new song stage for the first time.
