Pledis Entertainment debuted their new K-Pop boy group, TWS, on January 22 with the title track “Plot Twist”. Energetic and refreshing, the song has been met with a lot of praise and positivity, especially among Korean netizens.
Being the first boy group that Pledis Entertainment has debuted since SEVENTEEN made their debut in 2015, TWS had a lot of pressure from K-Pop fans to impress and release great music. During a time when girl groups such as NewJeans, IVE, and (G)I-DLE are still ruling the K-Pop industry, netizens have been anticipating a new boy group that’s more appealing to the general public.

And it seems that TWS could be that boy group that people have been waiting for! Their debut song “Plot Twist” has been performing quite well on Korean music charts, recently jumping a whopping 24 positions to rank at #64 on the MelOn Top 100 chart.
And as of midnight KST, they reached an even higher peak on the MelOn chart, as well as ranked high on charts such as Genie and FLO!
