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.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
