aespa continues to break records with their latest album, Whiplash!

As of November 7, aespa’s fifth mini-album has sold over 1.02 million copies, earning the group their fifth consecutive million-seller title, according to Circle Chart. This milestone marks another career-high achievement for the girl group.

Whiplash follows in the footsteps of aespa’s earlier albums, including Girls, MY WORLD, Drama, and Armageddon—all of which sold over a million copies. Impressively, Armageddon and Whiplash both reached the million-seller mark this year, solidifying aespa as one of K-pop's top hitmakers in 2024.

Not only did Whiplash top the charts, but it also made an impressive debut on Spotify, ranking 53rd on the platform's global chart on its release day, the highest entry for a K-pop girl group song in 2024.

The album also charted on several Billboard lists in November, including World Albums, Global 200 (excluding the U.S.), Global 200, and the Billboard 200—showing their growing influence worldwide.

Released on October 21, Whiplash includes the title track of the same name, marking aespa's first venture into EDM and techno music.

The album also features tracks like Kill It, Flights, Not Feelings, Pink Hoodie, Flowers, and Just Another Girl, highlighting the group’s expanding musical range with six total tracks.

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.
