TWS (Tours) truly demonstrated the power of Pledis Entertainment, a ‘performance company.’
TWS (Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Kyungmin) performed the title song 'The First Meeting Doesn't Go As Planed' from their debut album, 1st mini album 'Sparkling Blue', on the Hive Labels YouTube channel at 6 PM on the 29th. A music video was posted.
While the official music video, which was released simultaneously with the release of the album on the 22nd, depicted the members' excitement and tension ahead of their first school day through organic storytelling, the performance music video focused on TWS' choreography.
The performance music video for 'First Meeting Doesn't Go As Planed' captures attention from the beginning with the members performing group dances under a sunny sky and the introduction of Dohoon's breaking dance, in which he rotates his legs 360 degrees. In addition, the three-dimensional performance that combines refreshing and powerful charm and witty choreography using lyrics are impressive. The 'Performance Restaurant' video was completed by combining flashy large-scale changes, movements that symbolize the lyrics, and the six members' colorful facial expressions.
Global fans' reactions to the TWS performance were also very positive. In a video related to TWS’s performance, “The dance is beautiful and the composition is legendary. “I fell in love with the song once and the dance twice”, “It’s a relatively difficult choreography, but it’s really amazing that you can pull it off perfectly”, “I’m so impressed that you can see the amount of practice you’ve done.” Comments such as “As expected of a Pledis boy group” and “The synchronized dance is crazy” are continuing.
As soon as they debuted on the 22nd, TWS has captured the attention of fans around the world and is making progress worthy of being named 'K-pop's most anticipated star of the year'. 'Sparkling Blue' was ranked in the top 10 (8th) in the first K-pop group's debut album of all time (album sales in one week from the release date/based on Hanteo Chart), and the title song 'First Meeting Doesn't Go As Planed' was released shortly after its release. In less than a week, it was ranked on the real-time chart of Melon's 'TOP 100', a major domestic music site (first entry on the 28th).
