Artists representing K-pop, IU and Kai, adorned the cover of Elle's November issue. The shoot was conducted under the concept of IU and Kai spending time alone in their own room. Both of them radiated various charms in a given space and worked comfortably on the shoot.

IU, who is scheduled to release her new song 'Strawberry Moon' on October 19, said, "I wanted to make a very easy song. I hoped it would be a song that didn't make anyone think too much or feel sad when they heard it. I hope the fans can listen to this single with a lot of ease,” she said, expressing her love for the song.

Kai, who was recently active in an entertainment program and released his personal YouTube 'KAIst' through EXO's YouTube channel, said, "I want a lot of fans to see it. Filming itself is fun. I meet various people and learn new aspects,” he said, explaining his recent move.

He also shared his thoughts on music and performance. When asked about their thoughts on experiencing various emotions through IU's songs, IU replied, "It is the most precious decoration that cannot be replaced by anything else. Makes me a little more humble and objective.”

Kai, who released his first solo album last year, also said, "It's more fun to arouse the viewers' diverse thoughts than throwing out a clear concept. Anyway, interpretation is up to you. I want to become an artist who opens a new perspective for people.”

The November issue of 'Elle', featuring IU and Kai, will be specially released in six versions, three for each cover. IU and Kai's pictorials, interviews, and videos can be found on the Elle website and on Elle YouTube.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
