TWS Praised for Stable Live Vocals During Music Show Encore

Rookie group TWS has been making waves in the K-pop scene. They haven’t been in the industry for very long, but they’ve already achieved remarkable feats. For example, they briefly surpassed none other than IU on the MelOn Hot 100. Their title track “plot twist” outpaced “Love Wins All” for a few minutes on February 14, 2024, at 10:05 PM KST. Although the lead was short-lived, it was a significant moment for the group. This achievement demonstrated their potential to compete in the big leagues.

“plot twist” didn’t start out strong; it barely made a dent in the charts upon its release on January 22, 2024. However, it eventually climbed to the top three. It also helped TWS become one of only two fifth-generation boy groups to secure first place on music shows during their debut promotions.

On the week of February 21, 2024, TWS won first place on SBS M’s The Show again. Following tradition, they performed their song live during the encore. This moment is often seen as a test of a group’s vocal abilities, as it’s done without any backing AR track. All six members of TWS passed this test with flying colors, earning high praise for singing live from start to finish.

TWS has a bright future

Comments from viewers highlighted the group’s stable vocals despite their rookie status. Netizens commended members Dohoon and Jihoon for their stability. Main vocalists Kyungmin and Youngjae also impressed viewers with their skills.

As many consider “plot twist” hard to sing, the fact that they sang it live—and did so very well—left many with a positive impression of the group. Even those who don’t stan them were amazed. “I’m not a fan but I think they did well. Especially for the bridge. They’re good,” one netizen wrote.

As TWS continues promotions for their first mini-album Sparkling Blue, their talent and hard work have not gone unnoticed. With exceptional performance skills and visuals, TWS is quickly establishing themselves as a group with a bright future. – K-Pop News Writer
