SEVENTEEN (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, Doyoung, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) is making waves with their upcoming mini album, SPILL THE FEELS, surpassing an astounding 3 million pre-orders!

As of September 28, album distributor YG PLUS reported a staggering total of 3,088,395 copies pre-ordered, achieved just two weeks after the album's pre-sale kicked off. This remarkable feat reinforces SEVENTEEN's status as a "K-Pop top group."

What makes this milestone even more impressive is that the titles of the new songs have yet to be unveiled. Starting on September 30, fans can look forward to a slew of promotional content, including a track sampler, tracklist, highlight medley, and official teasers, which are expected to further boost pre-order numbers as the sales period progresses.

Earlier this year, SEVENTEEN celebrated triple million-seller status with their best album, 17 IS RIGHT HERE, and topped the Circle Chart's mid-year album chart. Their special unit, Jeonghan X Wonwoo’s single THIS MAN, along with consistent album sales, helped them achieve over 5.32 million album sales in the first half of 2024 alone.

With pre-order figures already soaring, excitement is building around whether SEVENTEEN can surpass 10 million in annual album sales for the second consecutive year, continuing their legacy as a "10 Million Artist."

SPILL THE FEELS conveys a heartfelt message about "trusting each other, sharing emotions, and resolving concerns," and is set for release on October 14 at 6 PM. Fans can expect to see a more evolved side of SEVENTEEN as they share relatable stories through their music.

Just before their much-anticipated comeback, SEVENTEEN will kick off their world tour SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, starting with grand performances at the Goyang Comprehensive Gymnasium on October 12-13. The tour will span 14 cities worldwide, including the US, Japan, and Asia, featuring a total of 27 performances.

With all this momentum, it's clear SEVENTEEN is poised for even greater success!

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.
