It’s the lead single off of their second EP, Summer Beat!, which was released on June 24. Netizens were curious to see what the group’s first comeback would be like after the success of their debut with “Plot Twist”, which has become a huge hit on the Korean music charts.

In an era of K-Pop where encore performances have become increasingly scrutinized over how well the idols sing, it can be stressful for fans and the idols alike to put on a good performance. Without the support of backing vocals, it’s easy for shaky and off-pitch notes to be heard, which is likely only exacerbated by the anxiety idols feel to not mess up.

But the members of TWS have been receiving tons of praise for their encore performance, which you can watch below!

In fact, on a forum post about the performance, there are over 500 comments made in response to the post, the majority of which are positive.

“First place celebration~ The encore was also sung well.”
“They did a good job live.”
“Please watch the encore until the end.”
“Among the male rookies, they seem to be better live.”
“They’re good at singing live, and the songs are high.”
“Wow they’re really good at it.”
“The babies are so good.”
“They sang almost exactly the same as the recording, and they seemed to be doing well live.”
“Oh well done.”
“The song is high, but they’re good and stable.”
“They did good, it’s not easy to get the pitch of that song right.”
“It’s the best encore on The Show I’ve seen lately lol, that’s really good for The Show.”
