• "This is so ridiculous", Netizens Say tripleS Unit Group Disbandment Reason Was Unrealistic and Impossible to Achieve

    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"

    What are your thoughts?

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
