Lee Hyori's iconic track "10 Minutes," which is now 21 years old, is making a grand comeback on the international stage.

The song is trending alongside the Y2K fashion revival, primarily fueled by the viral "10 Minutes Challenge" on TikTok.

The challenge has seen enthusiastic participation from global Gen Z and Millennial demographics.

Participants of the challenge are emulating Hyori's iconic makeup and stage outfits from the early 2000s, creating a cultural phenomenon that echoes through hashtags like '2000s Leehyori Makeup' and '2000s Asian Makeup' on TikTok.

The challenge involves replicating Hyori's distinctive eye makeup that emphasized bold, glamorous looks, and her long, straight hair styled with caps and tank tops, reflecting the era's aesthetic.

One of the most notable features of this makeup trend is the eyebrows. While current styles favor a soft, arched brow that extends the tail, Lee Hyori's makeup stayed true to the natural shape of the brows, adding a nostalgic authenticity to the recreations.

Her tanned skin paired with nude lips is another hallmark that participants aim to replicate.

The "10 Minutes Challenge" has seen many international fans participate. They incorporate the song as background music, mimic the key dance moves, or lip-sync to the lyrics while gripping a cap.

Their videos are often captioned with witty comments like "Flip in a few seconds" or "Back to 2000s," adding a playful element to the challenge.

Lee Hyori, born in 1979, initially rose to fame as a member of the popular girl group Fin.K.L before achieving solo success with several hits.

She currently resides in Jeju Island and has recently resumed appearing in commercials and increasing her entertainment activities.

As the "10 Minutes Challenge" continues to gain traction, fans are eagerly anticipating whether Lee Hyori herself will join in, further solidifying her status as a trendsetter long after her initial peak.

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.
