K-pop Group TWS Scores Triple Win with New Album ‘TRY WITH US’

Rookie K-pop sensation TWS (신유, 도훈, 영재, 한진, 지훈, 경민) continues their meteoric rise with a triple crown on major Korean music shows. On May 1st, the group clinched their first-ever M Countdown win on Mnet with the title track “Isn’t It Cool to Run Following Your Heart?” from their third mini-album, TRY WITH US.

This monumental victory follows two previous wins on SBS M, SBS funE’s The Show and MBC M, MBC every1’s Show Champion, marking TWS’s dominance in the 5th generation of K-pop.

In their acceptance speech, TWS expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, “We are truly thankful to everyone who listens to our music. We’ll keep refining our sound so that people continue to trust and enjoy TWS.”

The encore stage showcased their impressive live vocals and boundless energy, solidifying their status as all-rounders. Dressed in youthful, casual looks, the members performed with dynamic choreography and vibrant expressions that mirrored the song’s youthful spirit.

Globally, TRY WITH US is taking charts by storm. The album ranked 2nd on Japan’s Oricon Weekly Combined Album Rankings (as of May 5, covering April 21 to April 27), and also placed 2nd in Billboard Japan’s Top Album Sales and 5th in the comprehensive Hot Albums chart.

Billboard Japan highlighted the album’s commercial success, reporting that nearly 100,000 copies were sold, more than doubling the first-week sales of their previous EP SUMMER BEAT!, which tallied 47,075 units.

Back home, TWS’s momentum is equally powerful. The album topped the Hanteo Weekly Chart and Circle Chart (April 20–26). Meanwhile, their title track is gaining traction on streaming platforms like Melon, entering the Daily Chart at no. 95 on April 28 and climbing to no. 89 by April 30.

The rising stars are set to keep the energy going with a fresh performance on KBS2’s Music Bank airing today (May 2).
