• TWICE breaks records AGAIN—ranks 4th on Billboard 200 and makes history with 6 consecutive Top 10 entries for a K-pop girl group!

    TWICE is showing their unstoppable power by ranking 4th on the U.S. Billboard's "Billboard 200" chart with their new album "STRATEGY".

    On December 15, Billboard announced that TWICE's mini-album "STRATEGY", released on December 6, achieved an impressive 88,000 units, earning the 4th spot on the "Billboard 200" chart.

    This latest achievement sets a historic record for K-pop girl groups as TWICE now has six consecutive albums in the Top 10. Their chart-topping journey includes:

    • "Taste of Love" (6th in June 2021),
    • "Formula of Love: O+T=<3" (3rd in November 2021),
    • "BETWEEN 1&2" (3rd in August 2022),
    • "READY TO BE" (2nd in March 2023),
    • "With YOU-th" (1st in February 2024),
    • and now "STRATEGY" at 4th!

    With this, TWICE solidifies their status as a "global top girl group", breaking records and winning hearts worldwide.

    TWICE’s title track "Strategy (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)" has also become a fan favorite, delivering a confident and empowering message about "winning over a loved one with clever strategies."

    The members expressed their gratitude through JYP Entertainment, saying, "This album was carefully prepared to connect with more of our fans. We’re especially excited to return to music shows for the first time in 10 months."

    They added, "Thank you for all the love from fans around the world. Next year, we’ll perform as a special guest at Coldplay’s concert in Korea and prepare an incredible new world tour with surprising stages. Please look forward to TWICE’s activities into 2025!"

    TWICE continues to shine globally with incredible achievements. Last month, they made history as the first K-pop artists to perform on "Amazon Music Live," breaking viewership records with their electrifying stage.

    To wrap up the year, TWICE will appear on Japan's famous year-end broadcast, NHK's "Kohaku Uta Gassen" (The 75th Red and White Song Battle), marking their fifth time performing on the prestigious stage.

    TWICE’s global success shows no signs of slowing down, and fans can’t wait to see what they’ll bring next!

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    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.
