YG Entertainment's fresh-faced girl group, BABYMONSTER, is making waves with their debut album.

As per the Hanteo Chart on April 8, BABYMONSTER's first mini-album 'BABYMONS7ER' has sold a whopping 401,287 copies from April 1 to April 7. This is a record-breaking initial sales figure for a K-pop girl group's debut album.

'BABYMONS7ER' has been a hot topic even before its release, with over 460,000 pre-orders. The group has managed to build a solid fanbase through their unique self-produced content and music that carries the signature YG style.

Given that BABYMONSTER has just kick-started their journey, the final sales volume is predicted to skyrocket. YG also mentioned that some overseas export volumes are yet to be added to the tally.

BABYMONSTER isn't just winning in album sales but is also making their presence felt on various global charts. Their first mini-album clinched the top spot on the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart, and the title track 'SHEESH' secured the 69th position on Spotify's Daily Top Song Global Chart, setting a new record for a K-pop girl group this year.

Living up to their title as the next 'YouTube Queen', the 'SHEESH' music video is a massive hit. It became the 'Most Viewed Video in 24 Hours' right after its release and swiftly topped the YouTube Global Weekly Chart. The view count is on a steep rise, already surpassing 76.95 million views and racing towards the 100 million mark.

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.
