TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) has once again made waves on the U.S. Billboard charts.

According to an article published on November 17 by Billboard, TXT’s 7th mini album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 for the chart dated November 23.

The album recorded an impressive 95,500 album sales and 2,500 SEA units (streaming equivalent albums).

This marks TXT’s 11th album to enter the Billboard 200, a record surpassed only by BTS among K-pop groups. TXT has charted eight Korean and three Japanese albums on the prestigious list, further solidifying their global reach.

Since their debut in March 2019, TXT has shown remarkable consistency. Their first mini album, The Dream Chapter: STAR, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 140, less than two weeks after their debut. Every year since, they’ve landed albums on the chart, demonstrating their steady rise.

Notably, six of TXT’s Korean albums, including Chaos Chapter: FREEZE (No. 5, 2021), minisode 2: Thursday’s Child (No. 4, 2022), The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION (No. 1, 2023), The Name Chapter: FREEFALL (No. 3, 2023), minisode 3: TOMORROW (No. 3, 2024), and now The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY (No. 2, 2024), have consecutively landed in the Billboard 200 Top 5.

TXT’s incredible success highlights their growing influence in the North American music market, proving they are a force to be reckoned with.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
