K-pop group Stray Kids has made another impressive achievement, earning their third Gold certification from the French National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP) with their mini-album ATE.

According to SNEP’s official website, ATE, released in July 2024, sold over 50,000 units and earned the Gold certification on November 28th (local time). SNEP, established in 1922, recognizes artists with certifications based on album and single sales, making this milestone even more significant for Stray Kids.

With this latest achievement, Stray Kids now has three Gold certifications from SNEP. They previously received Gold for their full album ★★★★★ (5-STAR) and their mini-album 樂-STAR (Rock Star).

Stray Kids is also continuing to make waves internationally with their Stray Kids World Tour . As part of the second phase of their world tour, they are set to perform massive stadium concerts in Latin America, North America, and Europe. The initial tickets for concerts in 10 cities—Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Lima, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, and Paris—sold out quickly, leading to the addition of new dates in March and July 2024. These include performances on March 27th in Santiago, April 6th in São Paulo, July 19th in London, and July 27th in Paris.

With 48 concerts in 32 regions worldwide, Stray Kids will perform in 25 stadiums as part of their global tour. Fans can also look forward to the release of their new album SKZHOP HIPTAPE (SKZHOP HipTape) 合 (HOP), including its title track "Walkin On Water," on December 13th at 2 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time).

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
