K-pop fans have always been obsessed with the intricate choreography and iconic moves that their favorite idols perform on stage. However, one particular move from LE SSERAFIM's "ANTIFRAGILE" has caught everyone's attention for a surprising reason.

After the initial beat drop, the members stick out their tongues as they throw up their hands, a move that has become a fan favorite.

However, fans were stunned to learn that the move was not originally part of the choreography, but was instead suggested by Bang Shi Hyuk, the label head of Big Hit Music, the parent company of LE SSERAFIM.

The revelation was made on an episode of MMTG, where MC JaeJae praised member Chaewon for making the expression look pretty.

Chaewon then revealed the surprising origin of the move, saying "Actually, this [move], was because Bang Shi Hyuk PD said that he really hoped that [we would put in] a mehrong expression with our tongues. So I researched ways on how to stick out my tongue."

The term "mehrong" refers to a playful and mischievous expression often associated with children in Korean culture.

Bang Shi Hyuk's suggestion to incorporate it into the choreography adds a fun and lighthearted element to the performance, which is in line with the group's overall image.

Fans were quick to react to this revelation on social media, with many expressing their surprise and admiration for Bang Shi Hyuk's creativity.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
