• "Is it because I watched 'The Glory' yesterday?" — LE SSERAFIM's Fan Meeting Merchandise Goes Viral for All the Wrong Reasons

    LE SSERAFIM, a K-Pop group, is all set to host their first fan meeting, 'FEARNADA 2023 S/S', this weekend on March 18-19 at the Seoul Olympic Hall.

    Fans who have already arrived early have picked up their official fan light sticks from the merch booth. However, the design of the light stick has sparked some reactions from Korean netizens.

    According to many netizens, the design of the light stick reminded them of a flat iron, the styling tool for hair. While some fans found the design amusing, others were not pleased with it.

    One netizen even joked that they would be tempted to straighten someone's hair with it at a concert.

    Despite the mixed reactions, the light stick has five different colors that represent each member's gemstone. When lit up, it adds a vibrant element to the concert and creates an energetic atmosphere.

    Here are some of the reactions of netizens on LE SSERAFIM's official light stick design:

    "It's a flat iron…"

    "I don't know if it's because I watched 'The Glory' yesterday, but it seriously looks like a flat iron."

    "I feel like it should be used at an electronics sale… not at a K-Pop concert."

    "It does look like a flat iron, but at the same time it somehow works with LE SSERAFIM's image so I'm not mad about it?? Is that just me?"

    "If it weren't gray, would it look less like a flat iron…?"

    Despite the divided opinions, fans are eagerly waiting to see the light stick in action at the fan meeting.

  • 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.
