The song "Dimension" by tripleS has been getting a lot of attention for its unique view of the world. The girl group has a total of 24 members, but the fans choose which girls will debut in which sub-unit groups.

There are many idol groups that include various sub-units, but tripleS has a unique system where the unit group can't keep promoting if they don't reach a certain goal. For the unit group to keep going, they need to sell at least 100,000 albums.

AAA (Acid Angel from Asia) was the first sub-unit of tripleS. They came out on October 23 as a four-member group. The girls got a lot of attention for different reasons, but their popularity didn't last long.

After about a month of promoting their album, the girls disbanded for good this month because they didn't sell enough copies.

The unit group AAA broke up because their first mini-album, "ACCESS," only sold 18,500 copies.

Netizens said the goal was unrealistic because the girls were from a small to medium-sized agency, and they were sad to see the unit group disbanded.

Netizens said:

"That song was so good…100,000 is the same thing as saying that their unit groups will only be for one promotion."

"That group of individuals worked so well together, why are they doing this…?"

"They did great, selling more than 18,000 copies."

"The agency is so strange that it probably makes the people who work there feel stressed."

"What…? Do they really plan to run the group this way…?"

"They should add another one member to this group and call them BBB lol, I want to see more of Kim Yoo Yeon,"

"This is just so stupid."

"How will a new band without a core group of fans sell over 100,000 records?"

"Isn't it good for a new girl group to sell 18,500 albums?"

"I liked their song a lot, so why are they breaking up?"

"It will take a lot of work to come up with a new name for each unit group they make."

"Is this the start of a strong fan base?"

"I think they want to have an endless amount of unit groups."

"Will the next group be called BBB? lol"

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
