In her role as a mentor on the Chinese survival show "The Next Stage 2023," aespa's NingNing had a special encounter with a familiar person from her past.

After watching a performance by one of the male contestants, NingNing disclosed her connection with him, expressing, "I'd like to share something. Bao and I were friends since we were young."

NingNing went on to reveal that she and Bao were childhood friends who used to sing together. They had even appeared on the same show in the past.

Reflecting on their younger days, NingNing remembered how inexperienced they were as singers, which is not the case anymore.

NingNing mentioned, "We've known each other since we were around ten or eleven years old. We were just kids back then, and our singing was quite childlike. We were very young, and our voices were still developing."

NingNing expressed her surprise at how much Bao had changed and grown. She remarked, "We hadn't seen each other in a long time, and his voice sounded so much manly now. It's hard to believe."

When Bao confirmed that it had indeed been a while since they last met, NingNing invited him to join her for "rice noodles in Changsha" sometime later.

Bao gladly accepted the opportunity to reconnect with NingNing, responding with a smile, "Of course, that sounds good."

Perhaps NingNing and her childhood friend will have the chance to sing together again, reminiscent of their earlier days.

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.
