TWS Achieves First Music Show Grand Slam of 2025
Rookie sensation TWS has made waves by clinching the first music show grand slam of the year. The 5th-generation K-pop boy group topped all six major Korean music shows with their latest title track, Isn’t It Cool to Run with Your Heart?, from their third mini-album TRY WITH US. Their winning streak includes The Show, Show Champion, M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo.
A Record-Breaking 14 Months Since Debut
Only 1 year and 2 months into their debut, TWS is now the first 5th-gen boy group to achieve this milestone. Critics are attributing their success to their youthful energy and refreshing sound that resonates with fans. Their title track radiates the excitement of being twenty, brought to life with charming performances that spark joy among listeners.
Album Success Across Korean and Japanese Charts
TWS’ album TRY WITH US has seen impressive chart performance. It topped both the Hanteo and Circle Weekly Album Charts, and surpassed their previous record for first-week sales just five days after release—earning them their fourth consecutive ‘half-million seller’ title. The group also ranked second on Oricon’s Weekly Combined Album Chart and fifth on Billboard Japan’s Hot Albums.
Fans Fueling Their Rise
The group expressed gratitude toward their fandom, 42, saying, “You give us the strength to keep going. We’ll continue to work hard as TWS.” Their song also climbed to No. 2 on YouTube’s trending music chart and is steadily rising on Melon’s Top 100 and daily charts, signaling strong digital streaming support.
Next Stop: KCON Japan 2025
On May 11, TWS will perform at KCON JAPAN 2025 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, where their signature refreshing concept will meet an international audience. With growing popularity and momentum both domestically and internationally, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see what records TWS will break next.
“We sing about youth, and we’re living it too,” seems to be their unspoken motto—and with each stage, TWS proves they’re not just a rising star; they’re a new force in K-pop.
