EXO's Baekhyun proves once again why he’s a force to be reckoned with in the K-pop world, even after 13 years in the industry.

The singer just hit a major milestone, selling a jaw-dropping 1,096,995 copies of his 4th mini-album, Hello, World, within its first week of release, according to Hanteo Chart.

Released on September 6, Hello, World broke Baekhyun's personal record for first-week sales, with nearly 900,000 copies flying off the shelves on the first day alone. In just five days, the album crossed the 1 million mark, solidifying his position as one of K-pop’s top-selling solo artists.

This marks a new era for Baekhyun, who recently established his own agency, INB100. Despite the new challenges, he's showing no signs of slowing down, consistently breaking records and reaching new career heights.

Baekhyun also had a stellar year earlier with his Snacks Party fan meeting tour, selling out every show across the nation. He then followed up with a highly successful solo Asia tour—his first since debut—featuring sold-out encore performances. Now, with Hello, World, Baekhyun has achieved his third consecutive million-seller album, a feat that further cements his legacy as a top-tier male solo artist.

As Baekhyun continues to ride this wave of success, fans can’t wait to see what’s next from this K-pop legend. Baekhyun's dominance in the industry continues to grow, and it's clear that he's not done making history just yet

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
