Block B's P.O. shared the reason behind his decision to enlist in the Marine Corps on the latest episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros'.

The cast of the upcoming film 'New Normal', including Choi Ji Woo, P.O., and Ha Da In, appeared as special guests.

After completing his mandatory military service in the Marine Corps, P.O. was discharged on September 27, 2023.

He made his return to the entertainment industry with the movie 'New Normal', where he took on the role of a stalker, showcasing a striking transformation that was different from his previous roles.

In the show, P.O. revealed that he was approached specifically for this role in the movie, which pushed him to explore his acting abilities and transform his on-screen image.

During the episode, the hosts asked P.O. why he decided to enlist in the Marine Corps. Kim Young Chul mentioned that SHINee's Minho had expressed regret about enlisting in the Marine Corps, and asked P.O. if he felt the same.

P.O. jokingly responded, "Minho might have regretted it two days after enlisting, but I regretted it on the day I enlisted," bringing laughter to everyone. He further explained, "But since it was already reported by the media, I couldn't turn back. So, I was worried if I could endure it for a year and a half, but I persevered with resilience."

When asked about his reasons for enlisting, P.O. shared that it was influenced by his parents. As an only child who grew up with love and wealth, his parents wished for him to experience hardships in the military, hoping that it would help him mature. P.O. enlisted with a filial heart, wanting to face challenges and difficulties to grow and return stronger.

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.
