On March 15, Leo took to social media X (formerly Twitter) to share a distressing incident where he fell victim to a scam while attempting to purchase a secondhand item.

In his message to fans, he revealed, "I fell for a scam this morning. I was trying to buy gloves, and the seller claimed they hadn't received the transaction money, asking me to resend it along with the original cost of the gloves. They demanded an additional 1.5 million KRW (~1,127 USD). Sensing something was off, I investigated and realized it was a scam."

Leo went on to elaborate, "I initially sent 800,000 KRW for the gloves and later transferred an additional 400,000 KRW. It's a frustrating lesson learned." He added, "This situation is incredibly annoying and upsetting."

Struggling with his frustration, Leo engaged with concerned fans who offered support. When one fan suggested reporting the incident to the police since his bank information was compromised, Leo sought clarification, asking, "If I report this, will they catch the person? Will they take action against them?" He later updated fans, revealing, "This person has a history of scamming with 9 previous accounts."

Netizens expressed sympathy for Leo's unfortunate experience, with comments such as "That's incredibly unlucky," "Consider blocking your account since your account number was exposed," and "This is unbelievable."

Meanwhile, Leo, who debuted with VIXX in 2012, has been actively involved in various endeavors.

Recently, he signed an exclusive contract with Big Boss Entertainment, signaling his commitment to continue his career as a musical actor.

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.
