    Girls' Generation member YoonA turned heads at the 77th Cannes Film Festival with her stunning appearance in a princess gown.

    As Taveras tried to show off her elegant gown, adorned with a portrait of Jesus Christ, the security personnel repeatedly disrupted her, hindering her poses and attempts to showcase the dress's lengthy trail.

    Despite Taveras's resistance, the security guard persisted in getting in her way, echoing a similar incident involving singer Kelly Rowland just days before.The video of this altercation quickly went viral, sparking outrage as viewers noticed the repeated pattern of behavior by the security personnel.

    Though YoonA's response seemed more subdued compared to Taveras and Rowland, her discomfort was evident.

    Critics and fans condemned these actions as racially motivated, pointing out the difference in treatment between women of color and white celebrities.

    While white celebrities reportedly faced no interruptions while posing on the same stairs, women of color experienced unwarranted disruptions and discomfort.

    In response, people worldwide have come together to condemn the behavior of the implicated security personnel, calling for accountability and swift action, including demands for her dismissal.

  • 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.
