Their debut track "Plot Twist" delivered on this promise, becoming a fresh, universally relatable hit. The debut EP Sparkling Blue topped the Circle Album Chart, sold over 548,000 copies, and earned platinum certification — while "Plot Twist" charted at #123 on the Billboard Global 200.

The number 42 cleverly encodes this meaning: 사(4) + 이(2) = sai. It represents fans who are inseparably close to TWS 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — directly echoing the group's own name, Twenty Four Seven With Us.
