ATEEZ Took a 4th Win for 'BAD' and That Trophy Shelf Is Structurally Unsound Now
they closed out july 23's M Countdown with 6,754 points and had to get past yeonjun's 'ice cream' to do it. atinys, please hydrate.
the way ATEEZ simply will not stop winning. 'BAD' picked up its FOURTH trophy on the july 23 episode of M Countdown and at this point the show may as well install a reserved chair with their name on it.
the number for the girlies who track these things: 6,754 points. the other name in the running was TXT's yeonjun with 'ice cream,' which is a genuinely brutal draw — two of the hardest releases of the season pitted against each other on a wednesday afternoon. somebody had to lose and it was not the pirates.
four wins on one song stops being a hot streak and starts being a pattern. ATEEZ have spent years as the group that out-works absolutely everyone in the room, and the trophy count is finally catching up to what atinys have been screaming into the void since 2018. vindication tastes like a wednesday.
the rest of the episode was stacked too — fromis_9, sunmi, hyolyn, J.Y. Park, TVXQ's yunho, wonho, BBGIRLS and OURBIRTHDAY all took the stage, plus a genuinely unhinged number of rookie acts. lovely for them. only one group left holding anything.
four wins. one song. zero notes. we are so back.

Jennie Is Vaseline's Global Ambassador Now, So We're Officially Gatekeeping Our Body Lotion
BLACKPINK's Jennie turned a drugstore staple into the most coveted thing in your cart — glow-up incoming.
Not Jennie waking up and deciding to make PETROLEUM JELLY aspirational. BLACKPINK's Jennie has officially signed on as Vaseline's global ambassador, fronting the brand's body-care campaign — and let's be honest, the girl could sell us a jar of literally anything and we'd Venmo her on sight.
It's the range for us. Chanel one week, a mass-market moisturizer the next, and somehow both read as luxury because SHE'S the one wearing them. The campaign leans all the way into the 'healthy, cared-for skin is the flex' era, which — fine, we'll take the hint and actually moisturize for once in our lives.
Fans clocked it in seconds and the timeline turned into one big group chat about restocking their entire bathroom. A global soloist landing a household beauty deal this big is its own kind of power move, and Jennie making Vaseline trend is exactly the plot twist 2026 didn't know it needed. Anyway, brb — buying lotion.
