Group TWS has proven its formidable album power by surpassing 820,000 copies in initial sales with their second single album, ‘TO US’.
According to Hanteo Chart on the 9th, the second single album ‘TO US’ by TWS (Shinyu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Kyungmin) recorded a total of 825,360 copies sold during its first week of release from the 2nd to the 8th, claiming the No. 1 spot on the weekly physical album chart. On the first day of release alone, 634,871 copies were sold to top the daily album chart, followed by a steep upward trend that easily surpassed 800,000 copies within a week.
The title track ‘Call My Name’ is also steadily making its presence known on domestic and international music charts. Debuting at No. 2 on Bugs real-time chart and No. 14 on Melon ‘Top 100’ upon release, the song continues to maintain its ranking. On Korean YouTube’s ‘Trending Music’, it ranked 8th as of November 8th, and it has consistently held upper ranks on Japan’s Line Music daily ‘Song Top 100’. On China’s QQ Music Korea Chart (tracked from October 30 to November 5), it secured the 9th spot.
The music video’s success is also drawing attention. The music video for ‘Call My Name’ surpassed 10 million YouTube views in about three days of its release. It ranked 7th on Korean YouTube’s ‘Daily Music Video’ (as of November 3) and placed 11th on China’s QQ Music Music Video General Chart (tracked from November 2 to November 8). It has received praise for sincerely capturing the journey of youth boldly embarking on challenges in their imperfect forms, delivering a warm resonance.
Overseas media also took note of TWS’s musical growth. US Billboard praised, “They expanded the meaning of growth by weaving moments of wavering into their own story while maintaining their unique positive perspective.” The Philippines’ ABS-CBN introduced it as “fresh tracks capturing youth through TWS’s personal perspective,” while US outlet the BIAS LIST lauded, “The members’ outstanding vocal skills stand out in ‘Call My Name’, while the rap expressions shine in the b-side track ‘WE UP’.”
During their first week of comeback, TWS engaged in active promotions across music broadcasts, variety shows, and awards ceremonies. After first performing their new song on KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’ on the 6th, they appeared on ‘The Seasons – Sung Si-kyung’s Nodder’ on the same day to deliver unique charms. On the 7th, Dohoon stepped up as a special MC for MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’ to showcase his hosting skills, and also made a surprise appearance on MBC’s ‘Hangout with Yoo’, gathering high interest.
Furthermore, at the ‘3rd Korea Grand Music Awards (2026 KGMA)’ held on the 8th, they achieved a total of four crowns, including wins for the team and member Shinyu, once again confirming their status as a major powerhouse group.
