The K-Pop girl group NewJeans became famous all over the world overnight. Their arrival was so important and successful that they now hold the record for the most albums sold in the first week of an album's release. This is true even though their first single, "Attention," came out of the blue.

Some might say that no one could have known how big NewJeans would become, but the members had unwavering faith in themselves and their company's CEO, Min Hee Jin, who was in charge of branding famous SM Entertainment groups like Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO, and Red Velvet.

When asked on the variety show "You Quiz On The Block" how they felt when they heard that "Attention" and "Hype Boy" were at the top of the charts, Minji said, "We heard "Attention" two years before the debut. We did it every day for two years, but we never got sick and tired of it. So we knew that "Attention" would be popular."

Yoo Jae Suk's eyes and mouth opened wide when he heard that the girls had been practicing the same song for more than two years.

Min Hee Jin said that when she went to "You Quiz On The Block" in December 2021, all of NewJeans' songs were already done, but she couldn't talk about them.

In the long run, the NewJeans members and Min Hee Jin's hard work and patience paid off. Some people might not have seen it coming, but the girls had worked hard for years, so they were sure they would do well.

Min Hee Jin told them that she hoped they would keep doing well and be happy now that they were out in the world.

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.
