aespa has achieved another milestone with their latest release, Whiplash. The group set a new record on Spotify's "Daily Top Songs Global" chart, reaching the highest spot for a K-pop girl group in 2024.

On October 21, aespa's fifth mini-album title track, Whiplash, debuted at No. 53 with over 2.1 million streams on its first day. This is aespa's highest entry on the chart and marks the top debut for a K-pop girl group song this year.

The group's global popularity continues to soar, and many are excited to see what other records Whiplash will break.

The album also took the No. 1 spot on iTunes' Top Albums chart in 24 regions, including newly added Colombia and Spain.

In China, it dominated Tencent Music’s K-pop charts and secured a double platinum certification. In Japan, it topped AWA’s real-time rising chart and Mora’s foreign song daily charts, proving aespa's "global hitmaker" status.

Seo In Guk’s sister is making waves with a post that has everyone talking!

On December 25th, Seo In Guk’s sister shared a screenshot of a conversation between them on the official social media account of the café she runs. In the message, Seo In Guk sent money to his sister twice, saying, “I’ll give mom and dad some pocket money and buy delicious food for the nieces and nephews.”

However, it was the heartfelt message from his sister that really grabbed attention. She wrote, “As of today, I am withdrawing my support for Seo In Guk. From now on, I am no longer a supporter but will become one with Seo In Guk. Any attacks on him will be considered attacks on me.”

She continued with an emotional tribute to her brother: “If there are 7 billion people in the world who support Seo In Guk, I would be one of them. If there are 100 million fans of Seo In Guk, I would be one of them. ”

She added, “If there are 10 million fans of Seo In Guk, I would still be one of them. If there are 100 fans of Seo In Guk, I would still be one of them. If there is only one fan of Seo In Guk, it would probably be me. If there are no fans of Seo In Guk, then I would no longer exist in this world.”

She ended her post with powerful words of praise: “Seo In Guk, my light. Seo In Guk, my darkness. Seo In Guk, my life. Seo In Guk, my joy. Seo In Guk, my sorrow. Seo In Guk, my rest. Seo In Guk, my soul. Seo In Guk, just the light.”

Fans couldn’t help but wonder how much money Seo In Guk had sent, especially given the overwhelming love in his sister’s message.

Seo In Guk’s sister owns a café in Ulsan, and the actor himself previously made headlines when he worked part-time at the café. This new post is sparking more interest in their close relationship and Seo In Guk’s thoughtful gesture.
