This is amazing and so indicative of the hard work the P1H members have consistently put in
Still lots of time to still support and get those numbers even higher, #P1ece!!
📈 Initial industry projections predict P1Harmony's 'UNIQUE' on track to earn 77,000 units in its first full week available in the U.S. (75,000 from album sales)
This should guarantee a Top 5 debut — potentially as high as No. 2 — for #P1Harmony on the Billboard 200

Lee Hyori
BTOB
HOSHI of SEVENTEEN
The8 & Vernon of SEVENTEEN
Wonpil of DAY6

What's your ranking?

Exclusive: One producer has uploaded more than 250 AI-generated tracks across dozens of K-pop artists' official streaming pages — including the late Goo Hara, who passed away in 2019
A look into what's happening and why we should all be speaking out against it:

"I love Calvin Klein jeans because they're designed to be lived in. The looks I wore for this campaign nod to '90s style while feeling completely modern. It was exciting to bring together my love of music, dance and fashion against the energy of the city" - #BTS' Jung Kook
The new campaign was directed and shot by Mert Alas, who worked on Jung Kook's previous #CalvinKlein projects and has shot with other pop icons like Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Björk, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Zendaya and more
In an official press release, Calvin Klein says its new campaign "unveils a new denim chapter starring Jung Kook of BTS"
"The new chapter sharpens the focus on denim as the ultimate expression of personal style through icon #JungKook's distinctive and influential point of view"
A bizarre, kinda funny, kinda sad, ultimately frustrating #Kpop investigation coming to The Crossover tomorrow.
