BTS's V is making waves this winter as his first holiday gift, Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN), receives massive global attention!

According to the latest Billboard charts released on December 10, V’s digital single Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN) has made a spectacular debut at #99 on the Hot 100 for the week of December 14. This marks the historic achievement of being the first-ever K-pop jazz duet to enter the Hot 100 chart!

With this success, V now holds five solo tracks that have made it to the Hot 100, including two this year. Along with Winter Ahead, V’s digital single FRI(END)S also charted earlier this year, reaching #65 on the Hot 100.

But that’s not all! Winter Ahead also topped several year-end special charts, including Holiday Digital Song Sales and Holiday Top 100. It secured 14th place on the Global (excluding the U.S.) chart and 33rd on the Global 200. This success is especially impressive considering the tough competition for new holiday songs during the end-of-year season.

Who also rose 9 spots from last week, and MUSE climbed 43 spots, showing the growing popularity of his work.

Meanwhile, Jin’s Happy album continues to perform well, maintaining its spot at #160 on the Billboard 200 and charting on the Top Album Sales and World Albums charts. The title track Running Wild is also making waves, ranking 29th on Global (excluding the U.S.).

Even Jungkook’s solo single Seven (feat. Latto) is staying strong on the charts, securing spots on both the Global (excluding the U.S.) and Global 200, proving his consistent global influence.

With so many amazing achievements, BTS members are showing the world their powerful, lasting impact on the music industry!

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.
