TWS (short for Tours) has clinched their very first music show trophy since their comeback.

On June 2nd, TWS—comprising members Shin Yu, Dohoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihun, and Kyungmin—secured the top spot on SBS MTV’s ‘The Show’ with their title track, “If I’m S, You’re My N,” from their second mini-album, ‘SUMMER BEAT!’.

The song notched up impressive scores in both album sales and digital downloads. ‘The Show’ calculates rankings based on a combination of album sales (40%), digital sales (10%), music video views (20%), broadcast points (15%), pre-voting (5%), and live voting (10%).

In their heartfelt response, TWS shared, “Through our mini 2nd album ‘SUMMER BEAT!’, we aimed to showcase our growth. We’ll keep pushing ourselves to become an even better TWS. And most importantly, we’re immensely thankful to our fans, 42 Minutes, who support us wholeheartedly.”

TWS has swiftly emerged as the “Rookie of the Year 2024,” achieving remarkable success within just six months of their debut. Their second mini-album, ‘SUMMER BEAT!’, released on June 24th, surpassed 500,000 copies sold in its debut week, nearly doubling their previous record. The album topped the Hanteo Weekly Physical Album Chart and the World Chart (June 24-30).

But that’s not all—the digital realm is buzzing with TWS’s presence. Their title track, “If I’m S, You’re My N,” made its debut on the Melon Top 100 at 94th place (as of June 25, 0:00), steadily climbing to reach its peak position at 44th (as of July 1, 9:00 AM). The song also secured spots on the top charts in 10 countries, including hitting the #1 spot on iTunes Top Songs charts in three countries.

On the same eventful day, TWS delivered a powerful performance of “If I’m S, You’re My N” and their track “Double Take.” The dynamic choreography of “Double Take” held viewers spellbound, setting the stage for the refreshing and sharp moves of “If I’m S, You’re My N.”

This performance, featuring diverse pair dances among three members each and dynamic choreography involving all six members, received acclaim for infusing the songs with clear and invigorating energy.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
