Group TWS has become a 'million seller' ahead of their comeback.

According to album distributors YG Plus and Universal Records on the 20th, TWS (Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Young Jae, Han Jin, Ji Hoon, Kyung Min)'s 5th mini album 'NO TRAGEDY' accumulated a total of 1.022807 million pre-orders as of the 17th. (Source=Provided by PLEDIS)

This figure far exceeds the final pre-order count of their previous work, the 4th mini album 'play hard' (648,182 copies). With about a week remaining until the album release, TWS's notable upward momentum is expected to continue.

TWS has maintained a stepwise growth trajectory. Starting with debut album initial sales of approximately 260,000 copies (album sales within one week of release), they steadily built their foundation through the 2nd mini album (approximately 510,000 copies), 3rd mini album (approximately 560,000 copies), and 4th mini album (approximately 640,000 copies). Leveraging their unique musical identity known as 'Boyhood Pop' and solid skills, they have expanded their global influence with each activity.

Notably, the 'Antal Challenge' for the title track 'OVERDRIVE' from the 4th mini album released last October generated a strong response, adding momentum to the group's growth. The challenge's popularity led to a long-term run on music charts, and TWS emerged as a 'hot group of the moment' by capturing both public appeal and fandom.

Foreign media have also taken notice. TWS was recently named the sole K-pop artist on U.S. music publication Rolling Stone's list of this year's 'Future 25' (rising stars expected to lead changes in the music industry with innovative ideas), and they have also been invited to 'Summer Sonic 2026', Japan's largest music festival, to be held in August.

Meanwhile, the 5th mini album 'NO TRAGEDY' is an album filled with TWS's determination to seize love against fate, and it will be released at 6 p.m. on the 27th.
