TWS has once again claimed the "million-seller" title with their new album, breaking their own best first-week sales record.
On the 4th, according to Hanteo Chart, a music sales tracking site, TWS's fifth mini-album NO TRAGEDY sold a total of 1,112,770 copies in the week after its release (April 27–May 3), topping the weekly chart. After selling 830,000 copies on the first day alone and instantly surpassing the performance of their previous release, they comfortably crossed the 1 million mark on the fourth day after release, proving a sharp upward trajectory.
Alongside strong fandom support, they are showing powerful influence on public metrics such as streaming and short-form platforms. The title track "I follow you (You, You)" entered major domestic streaming charts as soon as it was released, and the music video surpassed 20 million views six days after its release. In particular, the "Dda-rum" hook, an addictive part of the song, inspired the "Ddarum challenge," which surged to No. 2 on Instagram Reels' rising audio chart and has been heating up online and offline.
Last week, after a successful comeback week showcased through various music programs, TWS added the sophisticated performance characteristics of house music to their signature fresh style, earning praise for a more evolved stage manner.
Having firmly captured domestic music fans, TWS will continue the momentum on May 6 with a performance on MBC M's Show! Champion. They will then move to Japan to appear consecutively on May 8 at KCON JAPAN 2026 and on May 9 at Kstyle Party 2026, aiming squarely at global K-pop fans.
