The group TWS (Shin Yu, Do-hoon, Young-jae, Han-jin, Ji-hoon, Kyung-min) set a new record in Japan with their new single 'SODA SODA'.

According to Oricon Japan on the 12th, TWS's second Japanese single album 'SODA SODA' sold 225,853 copies in its first week of release, ranking second on the latest 'Weekly Single Ranking' (dated August 17 / collection period: the 3rd–9).

This marks a new record for the highest first-week sales of any TWS album in Japan. The single surpassed the sales of their previous best-performing mini-album 'NO TRAGEDY', proving their growing popularity locally. Previously, this single had already exceeded the first-week sales of their local debut single released last year, 'Nice to see you again' (original title: はじめまして / Hajimemashite), based solely on its first-day sales figures.

'SODA SODA' also ranked second on Billboard Japan's latest 'Top Single Sales' (released August 12 / collection period: the 3rd–9).

The new single 'SODA SODA' immediately topped Oricon's 'Daily Single Ranking' on its release day, signaling a strong start. Its momentum in music streaming charts is also impressive. The title track of the same name reached number one on the iTunes Japan and Apple Music 'Top Songs' Dance category, as well as on AWA's real-time rising chart. The music video, capturing a fresh summer day of youth, secured top positions on LINE MUSIC's 'Music Video Top 100' and Korea YouTube's 'Daily Popular Music Videos', demonstrating powerful presence in both South Korea and Japan.

Meanwhile, TWS is scheduled to perform at the local largest music festival 'Summer Sonic 2026' on the 14th and 16th. They will continue their extensive activities with Asian tour '24/7:FOR:YOU' live performances in Fukuoka from the 28th–30, Hyogo from the 4th–6, and Kanagawa on the 12th and 13th.
