The group Tours (TWS) returned with a 'clear venom'.

Tours held a showcase for its fourth mini album 'Play Hard' at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the 13th and told the story of the new report.

It is the first time in about six months that Tours has made a comeback in the music industry since its third mini-album 'Try With Us' in April. Tours, which preheated the atmosphere with the pre-released song 'Head Shoulder Niz Toz' after its first concert tour and Japanese debut, released its fourth mini-album 'Play Hard' on the same day and began its new report activities in earnest.




Shin Yu is excited and looking forward to the idea of making good memories. The pre-release song also contains a charm that we couldn't show. Youngjae said, "'Like the lyrics of the pre-release song, I wanted to break our limits. I hope you enjoy it with all your heart and soul."

This album 'Play Hard' is an album that tells us to throw all our youth and passion to do our best. Tours will tell the story of intensely immersive youth through six songs in the new report. At the same time, their ambition is to communicate more actively with the public through the music and stage they are most passionate about at this moment.

Hanjin says "This album contains youth. There were times when the preparation process was difficult, but I think I was able to get good results. We prepared this album with "Play Hard", and Do-hoon "The theme of this album is the attitude toward what you like. We've prepared like crazy, so please listen to it a lot."




Kyungmin "I'm excited to make a comeback. I'm confident enough to say that the songs in the album are my favorite songs," and Jihoon "Like the theme of this album, I learned a lot about what I like and myself." I'm happy to take on a new challenge with my precious members."

The title song 'Overdrive' is a song that contains the dynamic emotions of a young man who falls in love. "My heart thumped,"I can't stand it anymore," Is this how it's supposed to be?Like ", the lyrics, which seem to have translated everyday language as it is, vividly convey the moment when you are embarrassed by the unfamiliar emotion of love but fall in love strongly.

Do-hoon "There is a more energetic appearance in the bright refreshing feeling that I showed you before. The lyrics 'heart thump' are interesting. I think I expressed my favorite feelings well" introduced the song.




The guitar effector sound with the same overdrive tone as the song's title adds a heavy drum tone and bouncy baseline. The more energetic sound is impressive while continuing the popularly loved 'Tuus' refreshing'.

Jihoon participates in the performance, drawing attention. Jihoon "The performance was better than we were, so we tried to express our crazy side individually. It's fun to see the six charms and characters."

Then "It was an honor to participate in the choreography work. I wanted the members to be happy, so I tried to make that part. In order to express the feeling of being crazy about something and falling in love with it, I tried to make a lot of eye-contact parts rather than filling it with dance and song on stage."

He also pointed out that he has grown into a popular K-pop group since his debut in January last year. Hanjin "The voice seems to have grown a lot. I feel that music also changes according to our growth. If you look at old videos, you look very young, he said. Kyungmin seems to have changed a lot in style and visuals as well. I wore a lot of school uniforms, but it was my first time wearing techwear"I turned back.

He also emphasized 'Refreshing' that was different from his previous work. Kyungmin "Our keyword is energy. I wanted to show a refreshing feeling and energy. I think you will be able to feel the energy through our performances and performances. The difference from the previous work is that Jihoon participated in the choreography, and we added a lot to increase our energy.

While `5th Generation Doll' is active, I think Youngjae "is a clear poison. People who listen to our music 'TOUR's music is bright and cheerful, but dancing seems difficult. Tours gave me a grateful response saying, 'It looks easy dancing.' So I think clear poison is our weapon"I was proud.

Lastly, the goal I want to get through this activity is Jihoon "I want to have the keyword "Stage Genius Tours" through this album." We prepared the performance with the same meaning as the six members"I hope we can make happy memories with our fans. Our new goal is to consistently study the colors we want to show and play a variety of music," he said, renewing his determination.

Kyungmin "I'm the last teenager to do. Next year, we will be 20 years old, and we will become adults as a group. I want to show you various sides of me" and Youngjae added "I saw and felt it while communicating with the fans in more depth."

Tours will release its fourth mini album 'Play Hard' through various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 13th.
