• "If it's me, I would freak out!" Fans of Aespa's Winter are freaking out about a scary, unexpected "guest" on the show

    She didn't know!

    The SYNK ROAD reality show by Aespa is a travel show where the members go on different tasks and have fun in different parts of Korea.

    So far, there have been 12 shows, and in them, the members of aespa have shared a lot of funny and sweet moments with their fans.

    But in one episode of SYNK ROAD, a surprise "guest" showed up, which fans have only recently noticed.

    They can't believe that Winter didn't seem to notice the intruder!

    When people found out about this surprise guest, they posted about it on an online forum, and Winter liked an Instagram post about it.

    The "guest" in question was actually a very big, scary-looking wasp that landed on Winter's jacket and hair.

    Due to the thickness of her fur, Winter didn't seem to notice that a bug had chosen her as a place to rest.

    It looks like the people behind the camera either didn't see it or didn't say anything about it, which was probably a good thing since it could have caused some trouble.

    No one else would be able to look as cute as Winter does in these pictures with such a scary animal on her back, but she does it!

    The wasp hangs out on her jacket for a long time in the clip in the second slide of this Instagram post.

    Netizens' responses to the surprise feature in SYNK ROAD are pretty relatable, and they shared them on a forum post about it.

  • TWS Makes History with First Gold Disc Certification in Japan - Here's How They Did It

    TWS (TourS) is officially a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene! The rising idol group has just earned their first-ever Gold Disc certification from the Japan Record Association, and it’s a major achievement.

    On January 15, the Japan Record Association confirmed that TWS's first single Last Bell has shipped over 100,000 units as of December 2024, officially giving the group their "Gold" certification. This is a huge deal since the Gold Disc is awarded when albums reach 100,000 shipments, with higher certifications like Platinum and Double Platinum for even more sales.

    What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Last Bell is a Korean album, and it earned this recognition even before TWS made their official debut in Japan. This speaks volumes about the strong interest from local fans and shows just how much global potential TWS has!

    Released in November 2024, Last Bell took Japan by storm, topping the Oricon Weekly Single Ranking and Weekly Combined Single Ranking as of December 16. TWS also made waves by appearing on major year-end Japanese music festivals like the 2024 FNS Music Festival and Best Hit Kayosai 2024—solidifying their growing popularity in Japan.

    Since their debut in January 2024, TWS has quickly gained attention for their unique sound and amazing talent, becoming one of the hottest rookie groups in K-pop. They’ve already snagged 13 major music award wins, including 7 New Artist awards, making them the top debut artist of the year!

    On top of that, TWS’s debut track "First Meeting Didn’t Go As Planned" made a historic mark by topping Melon’s 2024 Year-End Chart. This is the first time in 14 years that a debut song has reached this milestone! The song also landed in the top 3 of both the 2024 Year-End Digital Chart and Streaming Chart published by Circle Chart, proving that TWS is here to stay.
