    Gracing the March issue of Vogue Korea, released on February 17th, Hyein, an ambassador for Louis Vuitton House, showcased her unique charm and sophistication using the brand's jewelry collection.

    During the interview accompanying the photoshoot, Hyein shared, “The most joyous moments for me are when our audience is fully engaged and having a blast at our performances.” She added, “Our team always reminds each other to live in the moment when we're on stage.”

    Hyein also opened up about her experience featuring in 'Shh..', a track from IU's upcoming album 'The Winning', set to drop on February 20th.

    She expressed, "The opportunity to feature in IU's song was thrilling. I practiced relentlessly to bring out the uniqueness of my voice. I was determined to give my best during the recording."

    They achieved the fastest debut-to-number-one on the U.S. Billboard main album chart, Billboard 200 (as of August 5, 2023), among K-pop groups, and had five songs enter the ‘Hot 100’ last year alone.

    Moreover, NewJeans bagged the 'Group of the Year' award at the ‘Billboard Women in Music Awards’, which honors female artists and producers who have significantly influenced the music industry over the past year. They are slated to perform at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, USA, on the 6th of next month.

  • 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.
