Girl group TripleS is making waves with their new DIMENSION, Vision@ry Vision! On the 23rd, TripleS VV officially releases their first album, Performante, marking the start of their exciting activities. The album's title, which means "high performance" in Italian, reflects the members' determination to showcase their unique talents.

The title track, "Hit The Floor," tackles the stereotypes girls face, especially about their looks. It tells a powerful story of overcoming these stereotypes and getting back up after falling. The song features a cool mix of boom bap and high-energy dance, making it stand out.

The music video for "Hit The Floor" is directed by Mood Film, known for their work on TripleS AAA’s "Generation." It's been called one of the most dynamic music videos in girl group history, and fans can expect TripleS VV to deliver performances that rival those of male idols.

Performante includes nine more amazing tracks, starting with the opening song "Visual Virtue." Other tracks are "Choom," a companion piece to the title song, the Italian dance tune "Eclair," and "Romance Novel," which captures the clichés of young love. There’s also "Atmosphere," which fans previously heard only at showcases, "12 Rings," showcasing twelve different emotions, and "Vision," featuring lyrics and vocal direction by Park So Hyun. The album closes with the dance track "Bionic Power" and the title track "Visionary Vision," making a total of ten captivating songs!

In the first half of 2024, TripleS plans to release a complete album titled ASSEMBLE 24, featuring all 24 members and the title track "Girls Never Die." With Performante, TripleS VV aims to prove they are truly "the idol of all possibilities." They are creating their unique universe through new units, combinations, and music!

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.
