• SECRET’s “Totally Raw” Performance Pops Up Amid Recent Idol Live Singing Debates

    Out of nowhere, a second-gen girl group is getting some buzz.

    Netizens recently dug up two performances of TS Entertainment girl group SECRET. Composed of Hyosung, Hana, Sunhwa, and Jieun, they’re a four-member girl group that rocked the stage from 2009 to 2018.

    The first video that popped up was SECRET’s performance of “Magic” from their 2010 album Secret Time.

    The second was their track “Love Is Move” from their 2011 album Moving in Secret.

    Both are peppy songs with high-octane dances to match. Despite the high difficulty level, the SECRET members were clearly belting out live with barely any backtrack.

    Netizens were blown away by their totally unfiltered vocals. They all agreed that the girl group is “seriously good” at performing, and they also mentioned missing the second gen of K-Pop as the current one is “on a downward trend.”

    “Even though there are only four members, they handle their parts way better than those who divvy them up and sing” “Their performance is flawless, it’s insane. Personally, among the second-gen girl groups that aren’t active anymore, they’re the squad I most want to see again…” “Seriously, they’re so good.” “They’re too good.” “Seriously, the second gen was the best…they danced fiercely in high heels and sang live like that, it’s mind-blowing. Back then I didn’t feel it as strongly because it seemed natural like that’s how it’s supposed to be, but now, K-Pop is on a downward trend.” “They’re really good.” “When you watch videos of them performing live, you realize that there are really a lot of second-gen groups who are full of charisma and perform well. They’re really good.” The K-Pop world has been buzzing with debates on the singing abilities of idols lately.

    HYBE‘s new group, ILLIT, for instance, was slammed for their off-key singing in music show encore stages.

    LE SSERAFIM has also been catching heat for their below-par vocal abilities in Coachella, with netizens disliking even more how they lip-synched in the second week.

  • 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.
