"How can popularity be considered a skill.."
"What skill is popularity? It's clearly different."
"Did you bribe them or something.."
"I guess there's nothing we can do about it.."
As the countdown to ASSEMBLE24 continues, tripleS finds itself at a crossroads, balancing innovation with the well-being of its members.
The K-Pop community eagerly awaits their next move, wondering how this pioneering group will navigate the complexities of fame and fandom in an ever-evolving industry.
