The group TWS is set to solidify its trend.

TWS (Shin-yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) held a showcase to commemorate the release of their fifth mini album 'NO TRAGEDY' at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 27th.

On this day, Young-jae stated, "Through this album, we plan to show a proactive side striving to win love. We will complete TWS's unique love story. Through this album, we hope it becomes a bright and energetic spring."

Kyung-min expressed anticipation, saying, "This is the first album we are presenting as adults. Since all members have become adults, we expect to show various sides."

'NO TRAGEDY' is an album depicting TWS completing love proactively without waiting for a predetermined fate. It conveys the 'straight-on romance' of six boys rushing toward love.

This album includes a total of six tracks, featuring the title track 'Follow You (You, You)', 'I Will Become All Your Possibilities', 'Why You So Bad?', 'Get It Now', 'Fire Escape', and 'Back To Strangers'.

Ji-hoon introduced, "While preparing for this album, we struggled to show a fresh side while maintaining the existing TWS identity. We challenged a song based on various genres. We think listeners will enjoy it every time they listen to the tracks."

He added, "You will be able to see TWS growing like a gradient even amidst many emotions."

Young-jae explained, "If our previous activities showed a fresh and youthful side, through this album, we aim to show a sincere, bold, and straight-on youthfulness for those spending their youth. We will show that youthfulness can be viewed from various perspectives."

The title track 'Follow You (You, You)' is a song blending an R&B sensibility with house sound, featuring a groovy bass and unique chord progressions. It openly confesses feelings toward a destined partner who approached like a dream.

Han-jin shared, "When I first heard it, I thought it was exactly the TWS vibe. I think we can show a story about youth and a more matured side. Both the lyrics and melody are catchy and easy to sing along to naturally, so it will be fun to listen to."

Notably, Do-hoon's participation in lyric writing drew attention. Do-hoon said, "When I first heard the title track, the hook was impressive. I think many will like it a lot. I imagined a romance drama or movie fitting the theme while writing it."

Do-hoon, along with Young-jae, Ji-hoon, and Han-jin, participated in lyric writing for the album tracks, embedding TWS's unique color. Han-jin said, "Including myself, we participated in the lyrics. We struggled to ensure TWS's color was well reflected. We also wrote songs thinking of our fans. We prepared hard, so please show much interest."

Young-jae, who participated in lyric writing for 'Fire Escape', said, "I felt my own experience was insufficient, so I drew inspiration from books and music I had read. I was inspired while watching works such as 'Romeo and Juliet'."

Han-jin said, "While preparing for this album, I practiced Korean and had many conversations with the members. I am so happy to participate in lyric writing."

This album has shown intense heat even before its release, recording 1.16 million pre-orders as of the 24th. This is nearly double the pre-order count of the previous mini 4th album 'Play Hard'.

Shin-yu conveyed, "I was surprised and happy to hear that pre-orders exceeded 1 million. I see it not just as a number, but as motivation given by our fans, so I will become a TWS that works even harder."

Kyung-min said, "It seems many are showing interest, so I will try to work hard for this promotion so there will be no regrets."

TWS previously gained great popularity through the 'Antal' challenge and plans to continue the momentum with the 'Ttarum' challenge this time. Ji-hoon stated, "For the 'Ttarum' challenge, we plan to use an addictive chorus. If there is a special point, it is that it can be utilized in various ways. We want to bring joy through the challenge. We want to do the challenge safely, together with a Ttareung-i (bicycle)."

Additionally, Han-jin named IU as an artist he would like to do the challenge with. He emphasized, "Senior IU, we are watching your drama too. We like it so much and want to film it once."

TWS, who debuted in 2024, has now reached their third year. Kyung-min said, "It seems our expressions have become more relaxed. The members have started working out, so we think we can show a more matured side." Young-jae added, "It seems the range of expression has widened."

Regarding the goal of this promotion, Kyung-min emphasized, "We want to perform on a stage at a stadium venue. We have a heart to meet and play with many fans." Additionally, Han-jin said, "We want to be called 'Everyone's Ideal Type' TWS."
