[Dispatch=Yuha Sky Reporter] "We will write our own happy ending." (Shin Yu)

The love of Romeo and Juliet ends tragically. TWS rebelled against that familiar ending. Together with Juliet (42), they draw a new conclusion that transcends fate.

The story of 'star-crossed lovers' is transformed into 'lovers who break through the stars and move forward.' Moving beyond their signature refreshing confession songs, they expanded into romance that charges forward toward love.

TWS held a media showcase on the 27th at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of their 5th mini album 'NO TRAGEDY'. They previewed the narrative of a Romeo who charges forward.

'NO TRAGEDY' is an album containing TWS's bold romance. They broadened their musical spectrum across various genres including house, hyperpop, R&B, boom bap hip-hop, punk, and rock.

The new album contains a total of 6 tracks. These include title track 'Follow You', 'I'll Be All Your Possibilities', 'Why You So Bad?', 'Get It Now', 'Fire Escape', and 'Back to Strangers'.

It is their comeback after approximately 6 months. TWS sparked an 'Overdrive' challenge craze last October with the title track from their 4th mini album. This time they returned with a more mature message.

Jihoon explained, "While previously we were swept away by emotion, this time we're at a stage of understanding and accepting love," adding "we expressed youthful emotions more boldly."

It is particularly the first album released after all members became adults. The youngest member Kyungmin expressed hope, saying "now that all members are adults, I think we can show more diverse sides."

Title track 'Follow You' is an R&B track. House sound and a groovy bass blend together. It depicts the emotion of approaching the person you're drawn to like fate without hesitation.

In particular, opening lyrics recall Romeo finding his way to Juliet's window.

The lyrics are especially meaningful because they contain the members' stories. Dohun is credited on the title track. He demonstrated musical growth.

Dohun said, "It's about conveying your heart without reservation to someone you've dreamed of," recalling "I thought of scenes from romance movies or dramas. I expressed matching actions and emotions through the lyrics."

The stage has evolved to the next level. TWS showcased the title track performance for the first time that day. Even amidst sharp group choreography, stable live vocals heightened the completeness.

Shin Yu said, "While we showed energetic performances in the previous work, this time the point is restraining energy," emphasizing "overall you'll be able to see TWS's more refined sophistication."

The point choreography is also impressive. In the chorus 'Dda-rum' section, movements involve swaying shoulders and feet. It rhythmically expresses the desire to follow someone you like.

Dohun explained, "It's a catchy hook and a segment with attractive pronunciation." Jihoon likewise expressed confidence, saying "since the choreography seems to follow something, it's a challenge that can be enjoyed in various ways."

B-side 'I'll Be All Your Possibilities' is equally addictive. Shin Yu introduced it, saying "it's a message about becoming the ideal type that the other person wants," adding "it contains a feeling that's cute but not merely childish."

Dohun, Youngjae, Han, and Jihoon participated in the B-side work to heighten completeness. Jihoon said, "This is the first time we're seriously dealing with love," revealing "I found that emotion in the gaze we exchange when looking at fans on stage, and in the look 42 sends our way."

Three years into their debut, teamwork has become stronger. Jihoon laughed, saying "there used to be parts that didn't match even with practice. Now we can tell just by looking at each other's eyes."

TWS achieved their first million seller since debut. Pre-orders reached 1.16 million copies (as of April 24). This marks a nearly twofold increase compared to their previous work.

Shin Yu pledged, "A million copies is not merely a numerical meaning. I think of it as encouragement from our fans, and we will become TWS that works harder."

Finally, they also answered about the descriptor they wish to gain going forward. Han said, "I hope to become everyone's ideal type who brings good feelings and excitement."
