TWS Surpassed IU in Melon Annual Ranking but Mocked by Netizens?

On May 27, in the evening, a post titled “Melon Annual Ranking Update, TWS’s “plot twist”#1″was posted on the Korean forum “theqoo”and received nearly 600 comments.

According to the subject matter, the total number of listeners for TWS’s “plot twist”has exceeded that of IU’s “Love Wins All”in the Annual Ranking of Melon, a remarkable accomplishment for a newly debuted boy group.

Despite the news, the majority of netizens responded with a mocking attitude and even made accusations of chart manipulation. However, there are still some who defend the group, claiming that their song “plot twist”is actually good, although they are in the minority.

Here are a few remarks from internet users:

It is shameful how they deceive people by pretending to be popular in order to gain more fame. They confidently claim the top spot and the grand prize without any hesitation. Don’t they feel embarrassed in front of other singers who have put in sincere effort and earned their success?
Imagine them winning at the year-end awards and being proud of this… Pure shameless behavior…
Wow their company is really so great!~
I do listen to this song a lot, but defeating IU is taking it too far
Huh this is a good song though, I think the company manipulated the chart at first to get it up and then people genuinely started to listen to it
1st place in the annual ranking… this is truly shameless
