Fans of The Boyz member Kevin suspect that he recently sent a coded message to express his dissatisfaction with his label, IST Entertainment, for not giving him credit as a song-writer.

The messages sent on the Bubble platform during August 4-5 KST contained only emojis.

One fan managed to decipher the emojis as "PLACEE PASSION CREDS" and speculated that Kevin might be upset about not receiving credit for the song "Passion Fruit," which is track #2 from The Boyz's upcoming album '[PHANTASY] Pt.1 Christmas In August'.

According to IST Entertainment's tracklist for the album, "Passion Fruit" was composed by Oliver Forsmark, BB ELLIOT, and Chris Meyer, with lyrics by the same composers as well as Ellie Suh and Sunwoo, another member of The Boyz.

Prior to this coded message, Kevin had shared some messages on Bubble that hinted at his feelings, such as "Don't let your creativity be stolen too easily. Take care of it, your creative property yall," and "There's no such thing as effort without fruit. I believe that everything contributes to my personal growth for the future. Take it one day at a time! One task at a time! Slow and steady!".

Notably, Kevin had previously spoken up about a similar incident regarding the song "36.5° (Melting Heart)" in which he had written a specific English line that fans seemingly overlooked.

K-netizens were taken aback by the possibility that Kevin was not being given proper credit for his creative work and left various comments expressing their shock and support for him.

Netizens comments:

"That's incredibly unfair! How can they credit other members but not Kevin? It's unacceptable."

"He should definitely address this matter seriously with his company. It's not something to be ignored."

"If it's true, he has every right to take legal action. Proper credit is essential!"

"Why is the company treating Kevin like this? It's outrageous."

"This company seems terrible if they can't even give credit where it's due."

"Imagine if he tried to talk to the company, but they just brushed him off. That would be terrible."

"The emojis definitely seem intentional. He must be really frustrated."

"If the allegations are true, Kevin must be feeling so hurt and wronged."

"Even if it's just a few lines of English lyrics, he deserves to be credited properly. This company should respect their artists."

"It's disappointing to see how some companies exploit their artists and disregard their creative contributions."

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.
