[instiz] IT SEEMS TWS IS DEFINITELY A POPULAR PICK AMONG MALE IDOLS

These days, it is hard for male idols to make it on the charts. Bonek (t/n: BOYNEXTDOOR) and TWS are working hard together. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a boy group be a public pick…

Original post: here

1. Their song is good.

2. If even someone like me, who only cares about my bias group, listens to them, then their songs are well picked

3. Instead, they have no fandom

4. I don’t really know boy-group songs, but BOYNEXTDOOR and TWS are the only ones I hear.

5. So #40 counts as a public pick these days… guess boy groups’ public appeal is really bad right now.

6. The members are proactive, so they really push when the timing’s right, even for a big company.

7. Is the song that charted “Overdrive”? That song is really good. I don’t even know the TWS members’ names, but I know Plot Twist, Countdown and Overdrive.

> Yeah, it’s still around #40 right now.

8. I thought nothing would happen after Plot Twist, but then Overdrive went viral, i think they are public friendly

9. I don’t really know 5th-gen well either, but I like TWS.

10. Yeah, even guys know them.

11. Their chart entry starts low, but it climbs once they promote. Their songs are like girl groups ㅋㅋㅋ
