On August 28, BLACKPINK made history at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. There, the group won the "Best Metaverse Performance" award, and Lisa won the "Best K-Pop" award.

The group also shut down the internet when they played their pre-single "Pink Venom" live. Social media was buzzing about the group's performance because of how good their singing was.

But it looks like the American news outlet Variety wasn't impressed and magazine published an article that talked about the best and worst parts of the award show.

The article said that BLACKPINK was lip-syncing, and it said that it was one of the worst parts of the night.

On that day, a post about BLACKPINK began trending on Instiz's community board under the title, "Even now, there are articles about BLACKPINK lip-syncing in other countries".

The netizen who posted wrote, "They could have done just as well if they had performed live, so why do they insist on lip-syncing?".

Other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can't help but laugh.

Pffff.

Huh? It was totally live though….?? You could even hear them touching their mics.

It was straight up live?

Jennie was criticized for getting her lyrics wrong, and now they don't like them because they lip sync ㅠ.

They did perform live though? Shouldn't Variety apologize….? They even called them 'repeat offender'…

Isn't Variety quite a reputed outlet? I don't know who to believe…

Why is Variety putting out articles saying they lip-synced when it was clear it was live??????

No but anyone could tell it was live..

It was live.

What are your thoughts on the post about BLACKPINK?

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.
