• How are Netizens Reacting to IVE Beating NewJeans to get #1 on Melon

    IVE's "After Like" has once again reached a new peak on MelOn Top 100, surpassing NewJeans’ smash hit “Attention”. With this, the rookie girl group has set several records.

    On August 28, a post about IVE began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "FINALLY, A FOURTH-GENERATION GROUP WITH THREE SUBSEQUENT HITS".

    The netizen then listed the following achievements made by IVE in just a few months of promoting with just 3 songs

    ELEVEN
    The song is anticipated to be rated seventh on the 2022 annual charts after winning 13 number-one positions on music shows and a whirlwind run of success.

    LOVE DIVE
    One of the songs that sums up 2022. There's a good chance that the song will be number one on the year-end charts in 2022.

    After LIKE
    Hey, they just made it to the top of Melon. It had more listeners than LOVE DIVE ever had at its peak.

    Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

    "LOVE DIVE" was a really good song, and so are "Eleven" and "After LIKE."

    Their music is really so good.

    IVE's songs are so good that I listen to them every day, even though I mostly listen to songs by girl groups.

    I really don't know how they choose such good songs.

    One of my friends said that one of their songs wasn't that great, and I got into an argument with her ㅋㅋ.

    Can people have such different ears??

    "LOVE DIVE" really was a huge hit.

    I really don't like old songs, but for some reason I really like this one.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

    Even a woman in her 30s felt something when she heard their songs….

    I don't usually listen to idol songs, but I only recently found out about IVE, and now I can't stop playing their songs. Even the new song they just put out was great.

    Kids, even an ajumma like me in her 30s loves IVE's music… I love you….

    They definitely threw the door wide open for the 4th generation. They don't work for a big company and are still beginners, so I'm not sure they'll get the daesang, but they should.

    Even my mom, who is in her 50s, sings along to LOVE DIVE..

    Aren't all 3 songs super successful?? They're cool.

    What are your thoughts on IVE's "After LIKE"?

  • Lee Min Ho Shares the Hilarious Story Behind His Famous Baeksang Fall—The One Thing He’ll Never Forget!

    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.
