"Like the things that once filled our world with beauty, the dreams we had for the future died."

TW1ST: 180° is the second extended play by South Korean girl group, TWIST. The album was released on May 5, 2017, through JYL Records. Consisting of nine songs, including the three singles, “Come Back Home”, “Triangle”, and “Overdose”. Musically, the album spans between R&B, hip hop, EDM, metal, and dance-pop. The group earned the title ‘self-produce’ group as all members have taken the lead in the album production. “Come Back Home” was written and composed by Chaeyoung and Hyerim, whereas “Overdose” was composed by Sohye and written by Hyerim. “Triangle” is the first track that contains credits from all the members, in which the live arrangement consisting of an electric guitar and violins were composed by Sohye and Chaeyoung, while the lyrics were written by Mina and Hyerim.

As a sequel to their first eponymous extended play, TW1ST, 180° was a commercial success. The album debuted atop the Gaon Albums Chart, with over 400,000 copies sold in the first week, with Twist breaking their own record for having the highest girl group first week album sales, which was previously held by the predecessor album known as TW1ST. By the end of 2017, 180° had sold over 700,000 copies, making Twist hold the top two selling girl group albums of the year.

The lead single, “Come Back Home”, debuted atop the Gaon Digital Chart with other 567,888 digital units sold in the first week of release. The song remained atop the chart for four consecutive weeks. The second single, “Overdose”, debuted at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart with 309,362 digital units sold. In the first week of June 2017, “Overdose” rose to the summit of the chart with a huge increase in sales after the group held a one-time performance at the Apollo Theater in New York City, leading the performance to gain popularity. “Overdose” topped the Gaon Digital Chart for seven consecutive weeks. Due to the sudden traction from the viral performance, “Overdose” peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. The third single, “Triangle” peaked at number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of September 3, 2017.

For the album’s release, a special “TWIST Comeback Show”, hosted by a collaboration of Mnet and MTV, was broadcast live worldwide on May 6, 2017. The show consisted of performances from the following albums: TW1ST and 180°.

Promotions for the album focused primarily on South Korea and the United States. Twist were apart of the following lineups:

Dream Concert

SBS Super Concert

Incheon Korean Music Wave

American Music Awards

KCON NY

TRACKLIST:

Crush

Like It

Bye Bye

Triangle

Come Back Home

Overdose

Illusion

Mala

Black Widow

ERA HIGHLIGHTS:

It was difficult to follow up to the release of TW1ST, the general public counted them out, but Twist came back FIGHTING!

Come Back Home topped all the real time charts, earning 50 perfect-all-kills.

Overdose was the REAL hit of the album! It became bigger than Come Back Home and earned 73 perfect-all-kills.

Overdose debuted in the Bubbling Under on Billboard at number 10!

Sohye had a vengeance. After a winter of taking violin, guitar, and writing lessons, she composed Overdose as her first project. She then enlisted Hyerim to help her with the lyrical material of the song. 2HYE lives on!

Mina joined the cast of Hello Counselor, to give advice to individuals!

As a gift for such a successful first half of 2017, Twist went on vacation to Malaysia!

To get to know the members more, Chaeyoung began her own radio show; Chae’s Clubhouse, where the Twist members and other idols are interviewed every week.

Performance Highlights (Iconic Moments / Popular Performances):

On 050417, the official comeback stages for Come Back Home and Overdose took place at Mnet Countdown. The stage for Come Back Home was rather futuristic, inspired by The Matrix and TLC’s ‘No Scrubs’. Each member had a white monochrome and colorful latex outfit suited for them, as they would dance in unison. The Overdose set in comparison was rather dark, sleek, and simplistic with white greek statues surrounding the girls. The beginning of the performances shows 20 backup dancers in the form of a choir as they surround Twist. Chaeyoung and Hyerim are directing the orchestra before the song begins.

On 050717 at SBS Inkigayo, Twist descended onto the stage from the ceiling via a small shaft and broke the glass wall that is used as an entrance to their performance of Overdose. Notable moments include Sohye opening up the performance with an electric guitar solo which transitions into Hyerim’s opening verse, Chaeyoung and Hyerim’s duo rap at the bridge, and Mina’s high note before the bridge.

At The 2017 Mnet Asian Music Awards, Twist performed a symphony orchestra version of Overdose, which included 100 members and backup dancers on stage performing various string instruments of the melody. At the opening of the symphony orchestra segment, Mina has an operatic vocal solo stage and is followed by Sohye’s electric guitar solo segment. The girls are seen rising onto the stage in a ring of blue fire, which intensifies with every movement of the symphony behind them. Notable moments include a dance break before the bridge, Chaeyoung and Hyerim’s duo rap, Hyerim’s signature hand movement that commands the audience from each direction to sing or scream louder, and a solo Hyerim dance stage. The performance received critical acclaim and is listed as one of the most iconic MAMA stages.

At The 2017 Melon Music Awards, Twist performed a rock version of Triangle with an orchestra live band to enhance the live instrumental of the song. The girls are seen descending onto the stage as angels with fluffy white wings in a ring of pure white light (in contrast to the ring of blue fire they stood in at MAMA for Overdose). Notable moments include Sohye’s violin solo, Hyerim’s runway walk before her bridge (insp @ 3:01 here), Chaeyoung’s screamo rap, Hyerim’s high note at the end (4:30 here), and Mina leading a metal-insp dance break.

Hello. I've been wanting to get into SF9 for awhile now and I was wondering, what would you recommend variety show wise / music wise.

Hi, hi!! Welcome new Fantasy so happy to have you here. I hope you know that getting this ask makes me immeasurably happy. My sf9 boys are beyond talented and it brings me a lot of joy to be able to recommend things to you!! I'm sorry this ending being horribly long and has a million links, but I hope you find it helpful!

Variety Shows:

League of SF9egends

Secret Code 9

Trip With Fantasy

SF9 Fact in Star <- Be prepared to die of laughter.

Mafia Dance (Poor Chani this whole episode ;-;)

SF9 Sangsa

They will also be on Weekly Idol next week, July 13th, so check them out!! :D

Title Tracks: These are personal favorites!

Summer Breeze

RPM

Mamma Mia (They said their new comeback has a similar style and I'm excited)

Easy Love

Savior This is actually a Universe release! But the video and song are sooooo good.

B-Sides: These are some that I really love. I tried to pick from a variety of their albums so there is a good spread. :)

My Song, My Story (It's actually one of my favorites in all of kpop)

Shadow

On and On (Inseong and Youngbin)

Fire

Jungle Game

Play Hard

Love Again

Liar

Some Really Amazing Performances: Quite a few of these are covers but, I feel like you get a better idea of a group's talent when they are out of their elements so I wanted to include them. :)

"The Stealer" Kingdom Legendary War

"Move" Kingdom Legendary War (Best performance from the whole show imo)

"Love Shot" KCON 2019 NY × M COUNTDOWN

"Good Guy" Comeback Stage

"RPM" SF9 LIVE FANTASY #2 UNIXERSE

"Fanfare" Debut Stage

"K.O." Debut Stage (Literally some of the most insane choreography in kpop)

"Be Mine/Growl/I Need You" KCON Japan 2017

Dramas: This may be a little on the extra side since I know that watching dramas is a whole new level of commitment, but SF9 are frequently in dramas... likely more than any other group. It feels like such a huge part of who they are so I wanted to include it! These boys have been in so many!! You can get a full list here, but some fantastic dramas they have been in are:

Hwiyoung & Chani / Imitation - they were part of a project group called "Shax". Hwiyoung even gets his own romance sub-plot, and it is just the CUTEST.

Rowoon / Extra-ordinary You - He has been in a ton of dramas, but this one is my favorite. It's about comic book characters who are trying to change their destiny.

Dawon /Doom at Your Service - This one is about a girl who is dying who makes a deal with a god of doom. Dawon plays the little brother and has an adorable bromance with the male lead. It's such a cutesy character, but the show is pretty top tier and he does such a good job!

#ask #sf9 #chrissy's guide to sf9 #I'm so sorry this is so long #but I love them so much #and this is actually half of what I started with aksdjadska #I had to take it down

You guuuuuys😢 I'm sitting here watching all the Cnblue mv's & performances & the comments on the 2017 NY KCON put me straight into my feels! Everyone was commenting on how amazing their performance was, how they made the whole audience go crazy, how many fans they gained from fans of other groups.

It makes me feel so good to hear that. This literally happens every time they perform live in front of a mixed audience at some type of kpop convention. They are legitimately amazing live, like life-changing. It's something about the instruments that just shoots thru you, jars your senses & vibrates your whole body w/emotion.

I always need that reminder because I have no BOICE friends & Tumblr dead af when it comes to Cnblue. But whatever, if only y'all could see them live 🙄💭

#i really cant explain their stage presence #it completely diff from a dancing boy band #cnblue are probably more popular than 2pm in korea #but i forget that because of the lack of internation boice on here #dont sleep on cnblue #dont sleep on actual musicians #bands are fxvking amazing #ok bye no one cares😔#cnblue #kcon ny #kcon ny 2017 #boice

I’d have to say that Kcon NY was by far the best thing to ever happen to me. I got to meet one of my top favorite groups & let me tell you. It was beyond amazing. Even though I nearly passed out a couple times. It was worth the wait for, 4 hours just to see Up10tion. Now I’m not sure if everyone is fully awake of what’s still currently going on with a certain member from Up10tion? But there’s only 9 members in my photos & videos because Wooshin is currently on a hiatus. But that’s okay! He needs his rest & to feel better💕 Though Wooshin is my bias, my main focus at kcon was Kogyeol because he’s my wrecker, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t pay attention to the rest!! So here’s my kcon NY experience with Up10tion. ~ First off, when they first walked out the building the first person I saw was Jinhoo & let me tell you. He’s absolutely gorgeous. When I saw him, he just had a glow to him. She was shining & smiling so bright. He was so beyond beautiful. I couldn’t believe I was actually right in front of this beautiful being it was so unreal. The next person I saw //now this is a funny story// was the dorky Wei! He’s so goofy he literally had people screaming “WEIWEIWEIWEIWEI” it was so funny. I saw him & in the exact moment I just?? Was so at a loss at what was actually happening that I just blurted his name & he looked my direction //keep in mind I’m in front row right at the gate// so when he looked my way //haha.. Wei// I literally felt my heart stop & I was S H O O K He’s so cute in person. Next I saw Xiao! He’s also so cute! He kept looking all over & joking around with Hwanhee because they were next to each other and both him & Hwanhee were so cute together. They kept hitting each other or talking it was precious. They stayed together most of the time. Next to Hwanhee was baby Sunyoul! He’s so precious in person words can’t describe how soft he makes me. I didn’t get to see much of Sunyoul because Hwanhee kept standing right in my line of view BUT when I did! He was so pretty! I also heard him laugh & my heart stopped. Next to Sunyoul was Gyujin! His eyebrows are even more powerful & amazing in person. He’s such a softy! He was a smiling ray of sunshine & he was standing next to Wei, & at one point they kept bouncing & lifting their arms it was cute. After that I was curious because I couldn’t find Kogyeol so I looked directly in front of me & there he was. The beautiful Go Minsoo himself. Wow just lemme tell you. W o w He’s stunning in person, I couldn’t believe it?? I looked at my friend with like, nearly tears in my eyes & go “Is that really Kogyeol??” I couldn’t believe it. He gave me hearts like, 3 times! Which I have on video hehe. I still can’t get over how handsome he is. On the left of Kogyeol was Bitto! Oh my god Bitto is so cute I just want to hug him. His smile is also so?? CuTe??? He kept sticking his tongue out & it was the cutest thing ever & his voice???? Is so??? Deep?? Irl????? Wow Last but not the least next to Kogyeol was Kuhn! He was a smiling ray of sunshine also! He also was sweating like usual haha but Kogyeol literally just took his hand & wiped the sweat away like nothing. Kogyeol coming to the rescue. He too is absolutely stunning in person & he’s so sweet! He waved to everyone! I was so incredibly happy to experience meeting Up10tion up close. As much as I was sad I didn’t get to see Wooshin, I was happy that he was at home resting. I can only imagine how stunning handsome Wooshin is up close. But that’s okay, I hope I get to see Up10tion again next year & I hope Wooshin will be with them so he too can experience the USA with his close friends. All in all, I love Up10tion with all my heart & I will never stop supporting them no matter what. Thank you Up10tion for making my 1st Kcon experience something I’ll never forget💕

If you are attending KCON NY this Friday please read below!

Hello!!! I'm shouting out to all kpop fans attending KCON NY this week from the Westchester (Specifically White Plains) area, or really anyone who will be passing through Grand Central Station! I am looking for someone else who needs a travel buddy at least for Friday and is willing to meet up at Grand Central Station sometime around 9-10 in the morning. Yes I know that we would technically be missing the first few panels but it may be worth it to have someone to at least navigate there with. And I'm willing to travel back to Penn Station together as soon as the concert ends. ***You must be willing to split a cab/Uber with me to Penn Station from Grand Central and from Penn Station to Prudential. You do not necessarily need to have experience with commuting through Penn Station, and it would be best if you would contact me if you are interested by Thursday evening just so we have enough time to make a game plan. If any of you are also looking for a travel buddy or know someone who is this Friday (and possibly Saturday) to KCON NY please pass this message on!!! Even if you have an established travel group I'd be very thankful if you let me tag along! Please message me as soon as possible if you are interested, so we can discuss the details.
