Netizens are abuzz over an epic group photo of tripleS.

On an online community, fans and netizens alike are discussing a recent snapshot of tripleS taken on the famed staircase at ‘Inkigayo,’ where the group performed their latest track, “Girls Never Die.”

Upon seeing the photo, one netizen humorously asked, “Do they commute to music shows by bus…?”

Surprisingly, the answer was yes.

This speculation was confirmed when another netizen shared a video of the girls alighting from a bus to arrive at ‘Music Bank.’

Others were amazed at how all the members managed to fit on the stairs, with one fan noting it resembled a “classroom group photo.”

This sparked a playful debate about whether the members felt like they were on a school field trip, given their number is comparable to an entire grade in some schools.

More reactions include:

“They look like they are on a school field trip”

“Can they even divide the parts equally?”

“I heard each of them gets like one to five seconds in a song”

“It feels like I’ve become a school principal…”

“Wow, they are all so pretty though”

“LOL, it looks like they need to PAY RENT for taking up those stairs”

“I love their new song”

“Very refreshing”

“I’ve never seen any group fill up that entire space before lol”

“Am I the only one who is a little scared”

“Do their albums distribute photo cards???”

“I bet some of them are still awkward with each other even while being in the same group…”

“I like their performance and the song, though”

In related news, tripleS recently achieved a milestone by exceeding 100,000 album sales for the first time with ‘ASSEMBLE24.’

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.
