TWS's New Single 'Nice to See You Again' Climbs Charts on Release Day
TWS, consisting of members Shinyu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, and Kyungmin, released their digital single 'Nice to See You Again' on the 9th. The song quickly climbed to No. 3 on Melon's 'Hot 100' and Bugs' real-time chart. It also entered Melon's 'Top 100' at No. 65 and soared 25 spots to reach No. 40, marking TWS's highest debut day ranking on this chart.
'Nice to See You Again' encapsulates TWS's signature refreshing charm, capturing the miraculous journey of 'you' and 'us' coming together with a clear and transparent winter emotion. Despite being a familiar melody to fans from its earlier release in Japan, the song's high chart position is encouraging.
Music fans have particularly noted the Korean lyrics that highlight the song's delicate nuances. The lyrics, which shift the setting from 'July's summer' to 'February's winter,' enhance the seasonal feel, while the richer harmonies and sweet vocals have been appreciated by fans who enjoy sharing these subtle changes.
Fans have expressed their admiration, saying, "The Korean lyrics are as poetic as reading a piece of poetry," "It's a gentle song I wanted to hear in a world full of sharpness and stimuli," and "The lyrics like 'The silently grown feelings / brought me back to you / Maybe it was you from the very first moment' evoke vivid imagery and excitement."
The dance challenge for 'Nice to See You Again,' released the day before the single, heightened anticipation for the full performance. The video, featuring choreography that visually represents the lyrics, such as shooting fireworks into the night sky and making wishes, has garnered attention. TWS plans to release a performance film for 'Nice to See You Again' on their official social media channels on the 11th and will continue their promotional activities throughout the week.
