Unstoppable.

Group TWS (TWS) has dominated the top spot on major Japanese album charts with their fifth mini-album 'NO TRAGEDY'.

According to Oricon Japan on the 12th, TWS's (Shin-yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) fifth mini-album 'NO TRAGEDY' sold approximately 220,000 copies, securing the top position on the latest 'Weekly Album Ranking' (dated May 18, covering the period from May 4 to 10). This figure significantly surpasses the cumulative first-week sales of their previous mini-album 'play hard' in Japan, which totaled approximately 139,000 copies.

Oricon stated, "TWS has claimed the top spot by breaking their own record for the highest weekly sales with 'NO TRAGEDY'. This marks their first 'Weekly Album Ranking' No. 1 since their debut."

'NO TRAGEDY' also reached No. 1 on Billboard Japan's 'Top Album Sales' (dated May 13, covering the period from May 4 to 10), demonstrating their solid global presence.

TWS's fifth mini-album has been a huge hit in Japan. The album went straight to No. 1 on Oricon's 'Daily Album Ranking' on its release day (May 4) and maintained the top position on the 6th and the 9th as well. On Japan's iTunes and Apple Music K-pop sections, the album charted at No. 1 and No. 2 in the 'Top Albums' category, respectively. The title track 'Follow You (You, You)' maintained a top-tier position on Spotify Japan's 'Trending Chart' for three days (the 1st to 3), which ranks songs based on a sharp increase in listeners compared to the previous day.

Not only the title track but also the album's other songs are widely loved, appearing on various music charts. 'Follow You (You, You)', 'I'll Be All Your Possibilities', and 'Why You So Bad?' entered Melon's 'Top 100'. On China's QQ Music 'Weekly Korean Chart' (covering the period from the 23rd to 29), 'I'll Be All Your Possibilities' ranked No. 2, while 'Follow You (You, You)' ranked No. 4. Both songs also secured spots within the top 10 on YouTube Korea's 'Trending Music' chart.

TWS is also achieving remarkable results on music shows. On the 8th and the 10th, the group won trophies on KBS2's 'Music Bank' and SBS's 'Inkigayo', achieving a double crown. The performance of 'Follow You (You, You)', which blends smooth grooves with tightly synchronized group choreography, received praise as a "clever variation of 'TWS-style freshness'," supporting their upward momentum.

'NO TRAGEDY' is an album that captures TWS's straight-ahead romance as they become 'Youth Romeo', fighting fate to win love. The album recorded initial sales of 1,112,770 copies (album sales within one week of release), becoming TWS's first 'million-seller' album.

Meanwhile, TWS continues its active promotions. They are scheduled to appear on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 14th, KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on the 15th, MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on the 16th, and SBS's 'Inkigayo' on the 17th.
