The group TWS concluded their activities for their 4th mini-album "play hard" with their appearance on SBS's "Inkigayo." On the November 2 broadcast of "Inkigayo," TWS delivered a refreshing yet powerful performance of the title track "OVERDRIVE." During a live broadcast on the global superfans platform weverse, the members expressed their gratitude to their fandom 42, saying, "Thank you for supporting us so much during this promotion. We will come back with lots of content, so please look forward to it."

Through their 4th mini-album, TWS expanded their unique color and imprinted an identity beyond just refreshing vibes. The pre-released hip-hop track "Head Shoulders Knees Toes" showcased fierce performances never seen before, opening new possibilities. "OVERDRIVE" vividly expressed the passionate heat of youth in love, broadening the spectrum of freshness. From facial expressions to fingertip details, TWS freely adapted their performance according to the mood of each song, solidifying their position as the "strongest 5th generation performance group."

Their involvement in the music was also notable. Jihoon and Dohun participated in writing the lyrics for this album, and Jihoon contributed to the choreography creation of "OVERDRIVE." They demonstrated intense effort and growth to more actively incorporate their own stories into their songs and performances. This effort heightened anticipation for TWS's future musical journey.

With "OVERDRIVE," TWS once again proved their reputation as "short-form powerhouses." Following "The first meeting didn't go as planned" and "If I'm S, you be my N," they added another hit challenge with the "Angtal Challenge." The choreography, which expressed excitement by adorably shaking their shoulders, became a hot topic among fans and K-pop artists alike. The challenge video uploaded on the team's official Instagram channel surpassed 140 million cumulative views. TWS's performance skills, which led the challenge craze, added enjoyment to every stage by bursting with charisma and lively expressions. The highly polished stages, reflecting their intense practice, proved the "clear fierceness" they emphasized during their comeback showcase.

TWS's growth is also evident in numbers. "play hard" sold nearly 640,000 copies in its first week, breaking the initial sales record of their previous work and achieving a career high. In Japan, it recorded their highest first-day sales of 124,547 copies, immediately ranking number one on Oricon's "Daily Album Ranking" upon release. Thanks to the stage buzz and challenge craze, "OVERDRIVE" entered the Melon daily chart and continues to show steady upward momentum.

Riding this momentum, TWS will continue their activities on the global stage. They are scheduled to perform at the "2025 MAMA AWARDS" from November 28 to 29, heating up Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong's largest venue. Additionally, on December 27, they plan to meet local fans at Japan's year-end representative festival, "Countdown Japan 25/26." Through various activities, TWS is expected to further expand their global fanbase.
