tripleS, known as "the idol of all possibilities," has reached a "career high" with their new album Performante. According to Hanteo Chart, tripleS VV's first album, released on the 23rd, sold about 375,000 copies in its first week, setting a new record!

Right from the start, Performante made waves in the music industry by selling over 210,000 copies on its first day. This achievement marks the highest first-day sales for a girl group unit, making it a hot topic among fans and industry insiders.

This milestone is significant as tripleS VV's first-week sales more than doubled the 150,000 copies sold by the full 24-member album ASSEMBLE 24, showcasing the incredible growth of tripleS and the strong support from their global fandom, WAV.

Since launching Performante, tripleS VV has been actively promoting their title track, 'Hit The Floor.' They are delivering amazing performances on various music shows and connecting with fans through engaging content on their YouTube channel.

The album title Performante, which means "high performance" in Italian, reflects the group's desire to showcase the unique talents of VV.

The title track 'Hit The Floor' blends boom bap and high-tech dance elements. It carries an empowering message about breaking down stereotypes, especially regarding girls and appearances, and emphasizes resilience—proving that they will rise again after falling.

tripleS VV is excited to meet fans through more music programs and various content in the coming days!

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
