‘Tourism is a genre.’

Even if you listen to it for the first time, you know whose song it is.The number of letters in the title is also ‘12 syllables’, clearly indicating the area.At this point, it is safe to say that Tours is ‘a genre ‘.

The best rookie Tours of 2024 are back.This is their third mini-album, and the title song is, as expected, the 12-letter title,’ Isn’t it cool to follow your heart? ‘

At the showcase held at the SOL Travel Hall in Blue Square, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Tours presented a new song stage that pushed the modifier’ refreshing ‘that has been their symbol to the limit.It seemed that they could not hide their bold desire to go beyond this year’s rookie and now become ‘singer of the year’ in the shortest time, and even the sharp energy that is often expressed as ‘sword angle’ could be felt in their group dance.

Tours, who celebrated their first anniversary of debut early this year, expressed the ‘hope modifier’ that could be a common task this year with words commonly used among the younger generation, such as “neojot” (feeling good)or “youth companion group”, but it seems that the dream has already become a reality.From their debut song to this new song, they achieved their ultimate goal of ‘Tours is the genre’ with a ‘12-syllable trilogy’.

Tours, who have been continuing the “good vibes” from “First meetings don’t go as planned” to “If I’m S, you’ll be my N” before “Isn’t it great to follow your heart?” , also drew attention by comparing their own strengths to “paint.” Quick learning and incarnation are the members ‘common strengths, and in that sense, Tours was described as “a paint group that harmoniously permeates anywhere.”

The’ etiquette ‘that was more extreme than when they debuted was still there, but the fact that each member took notes during the Q&A session or expressed their opinions naturally was considered small evidence that Tours had grown this much in just one year.More than half of the members had reached the turning point of youth,’ twenty years old ‘, but they also showed’ cleverness ‘in trying to avoid artificial adulthood.

The virtue of continuously releasing mini albums with the level of regular albums since their debut was also valid.Tours’ new album ‘TRY WITH US’ contains a total of 6 songs including the title song ‘Isn’ t it cool to follow your heart?’ The new songs were released through various popular music platforms at 6 PM on the day the showcase was held.
