On September 3, a post about began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "TODAY, MUSIC CORE'S #1".

The netizen who wrote the post posted photos with the calculations on the results showing the close fight between NewJeans, IVE, and BLACKPINK.

Other netizens joined the online community and commented:

Is it because they are female idols? All of their digital scores are so high Congratulations, IVE!

Really, IVE are all the rage.

Yoohoo~ The song by BLACKPINK is also good.

The first time I heard IVE's song, it was good, but the members are still so young, but they're a lot better than I thought they'd be. Congratulations on being number one!

I like it when groups of girls get together like that.

Congratulations, IVE, you've been doing so well lately.

It's a great song. Even though NewJeans' promotions are over, they are still nominated, so they are also the big trend right now. I love both NewJeans and IVE.

Yoohoo~

Now, IVE are really big stars. In all honesty, the fact that they are almost as popular as BLACKPINK on digital charts shows that a new generation is coming up. The big trends of the 4th generation are already NewJeans.

I could have made a case for anyone on the list to win. This is really great. IVE congrats!

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.
