TWS teases new mini‑album
K‑pop group TWS announced their fifth mini‑album, NO TRAGEDY, scheduled for release on April 27 and rolled out official photos for members like Youngjae, Shinyu and Dohoon that drew thousands of likes (x.com). The social campaign around the comeback included multiple member teasers and fan engagement metrics in the posts (x.com).
TWS said its fifth mini-album, “NO TRAGEDY,” will arrive on April 27, with pre-orders already open through Weverse Shop and other music retailers. (weverse.io) PLEDIS Entertainment posted the release notice on Weverse, setting the album for 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time on Monday, April 27, 2026, after opening pre-orders at 11 a.m. Korea Standard Time on March 30. (weverse.io) The company’s sales notices tie the comeback to a wider retail push, including a pre-order event for a one-on-one video-call fansign and a separate comeback showcase event for customers who buy the album in advance. (shop.weverse.io) PLEDIS also began rolling out the campaign across its own channels, listing a “NO TRAGEDY” video dated March 30 on the group’s official site and a “Concept Film: LOVE GUIDE Ver.” dated April 6. (pledis.co.kr) The comeback extends a rapid release run for TWS, a six-member group made up of Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon and Gyeongmin. ChosunBiz, citing PLEDIS, said the teaser first played on March 29 at the group’s second fan meeting, “42:CLUB,” in Seoul before going online. (biz.chosun.com) PLEDIS described “NO TRAGEDY” as the start of a new story about “completing love autonomously” rather than following a fixed fate, marking a shift from the group’s earlier “fresh boyhood” image. (biz.chosun.com) That framing arrives after TWS built its profile with songs including “The first meeting didn’t go as planned,” “If I’m S, be my N,” and “OVERDRIVE,” which ChosunBiz said fueled an “angtal challenge” dance trend. (biz.chosun.com) The group has also been pushing beyond South Korea. ChosunBiz said TWS ranked No. 2 in Oricon’s 2025 newcomer ranking for overseas artists and won New Artist of the Year in the Asia category at the 40th Japan Gold Disc Awards. (biz.chosun.com) With April 27 now fixed on the calendar, the next step in the rollout is the music itself — and the official teaser schedule suggests PLEDIS plans to keep feeding out concept material until release day.
