Lee Joon has revealed that he took up dancing after almost losing his sight as a child.

In the latest episode of the YouTube series ‘ZIP Daesung’, Lee Joon opened up about a past incident. He shared, “When I was younger, bb guns were all the rage. I ended up getting a bullet in my eye while playing a war game. My eyes turned red with tears of blood, and I couldn’t see anything.”

Lee Joon further disclosed that he was unable to walk for a month due to eye pressure, stating, “I was lying down with an eye mask, and I couldn’t even go to the bathroom.” He added, “I was diagnosed with blindness, so I kept listening to the radio. That was when I became a huge fan of H.O.T, Fin.K.L, and Sechskies. After I received treatment, I got up and saw them perform. They were so cool. That’s when I started dancing.”

‘ZIP Daesung’ host Daesung responded, “You became a singer because of that bullet. If it didn’t get in your eye, would you have listened to the radio so intently?”

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.
