Minnie, the talented member of (G)I-DLE, has officially made her mark as a solo artist and is absolutely dominating the music scene with her debut album HER!

On January 21, Minnie dropped her first mini-album HER, which features seven amazing tracks, including the title song "HER" and the pre-released "Blind Eyes Red." The album quickly became a hit, ranking #1 on QQ Music's daily and weekly digital bestsellers in China, #3 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, and #5 on the European iTunes Album Chart. It's safe to say that Minnie's solo debut was a massive success!

Not only did she release an incredible album, but Minnie also hosted a special pop-up store with an exhibition concept to connect with her fans. She even took on the role of a docent, personally explaining her photos, and hosted an exclusive music listening session that allowed fans to get even closer to her.

Minnie then brought her solo debut to the stage, starting with M Countdown, where she blew fans away with her powerful performances. Her title track "HER" led her to a huge victory, securing #1 on KBS 2TV's Music Bank during the last week of January and dominating the Bugs real-time chart. In her first week, her album sold over 190,000 copies, and her music video for "HER" soared past 29.6 million views by February 3, proving just how strong of a solo artist she’s becoming.

Fans were also thrilled to see Minnie appear on KBS 2TV’s The Seasons - Lee Young-ji's Rainbow and several web variety shows. To keep the excitement going, she surprised fans with special clips for "Obsession (Feat. TEN of WayV)" and the dreamy "Cherry Sky," each showing off her versatility and unique musical style.

Minnie’s HER album showcases her incredible musical range and her honest, heartfelt storytelling. Already known for contributing to (G)I-DLE's songs, Minnie went above and beyond this time by composing every single track herself, stepping into the role of a singer-songwriter and proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in the solo artist world!

Kim Soo Hyun’s recent controversy is now affecting his appearance on MBC’s Good Day, with some viewers demanding that he leave the show.

On March 12, a post titled "ㄱㅅㅎ should step down" appeared on the viewer feedback section of Good Day, sparking discussion online.

The post’s author wrote, "G-Dragon’s show is supposed to be for fun, so what’s this controversy with ㄱㅅㅎ? He should voluntarily step down," directly calling for Kim Soo Hyun’s removal from the program.

Good Day is a music project variety show led by G-Dragon, where he collaborates with well-known figures from different fields to create a song representing the year. Kim Soo Hyun, who shares the same birth year as G-Dragon, was added to the show as part of the ’88 line, winning fans over with his friendly and lighthearted image.

However, things took a turn when Kim Soo Hyun became embroiled in controversy regarding allegations of a past romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor. While his agency strongly denied the claims, calling them "false information," additional photos showing affectionate moments between the two—such as a cheek kiss—along with text messages sent by Kim Sae Ron, have only fueled the public’s doubts.

Although the viewer feedback post did not mention his full name, Kim Soo Hyun is the only cast member whose initials match "ㄱㅅㅎ," making it clear that the post was referring to him.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun is also set to star in Disney+’s upcoming drama Knock-Off, with the first season scheduled to be released soon. However, with his controversy continuing to spread, even Knock-Off is facing growing concerns.
