Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, who's been riding high with her solo album 'To. X', spilled the beans on why she's been MIA from music shows.

On March 28th, Taeyeon popped up on the online channel '동해물과 백두은혁 Hey, Come here' web show '이쪽으로올래'. That day, Taeyeon didn't hold back, saying, "I'm not a fan of how music shows operate."

Taeyeon dropped her solo album 'To.X' in November last year. The title track, also named 'To.X', climbed up various music charts. On social media, challenge videos synced to the lyrics went viral, making it a massive hit.

But, the no-show of 'To.X' on music broadcasts left many fans feeling bummed. Taeyeon, talking about her absence from music shows, said, "I get it, but I think it's thoughtless to have to perform at dawn." It's common knowledge that music shows usually do their pre-recordings in the wee hours.

Taeyeon acknowledged, "There are things you can't avoid," and also thought about the music shows' perspective.

Super Junior's Eunhyuk, who was hosting, agreed with the harsh reality of music shows, saying, "There are budget constraints and many artists have to pre-record. It's inevitable."

Taeyeon expressed her disappointment that she can't give her best performance on music shows due to various factors. Instead, she feels it's way better to create other content and deliver a top-notch performance.

Eunhyuk chimed in, saying that while music shows were a must-do in the past, now there are plenty of other platforms to showcase talent. He nodded, saying, "It's right for me to strive for more, create better, and show something superior."

Meanwhile, over at the channel '동해물과 백두은혁 Hey, Come here', Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Donghae are killing it as hosts. Starting with their first guest, Taeyeon, they're all set to meet guests every week and share heartwarming stories.

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.
