Choi Yena revealed a heart-touching story on the latest episode of 'Radio Star', aired on the 12th, about overcoming a serious ski accident with the support of her mother's unwavering love.

During the episode of MBC's 'Radio Star', guests including Choi Kang Hee, Lee Sang Yeob, Choi Hyun Woo, Gwaydo, and Choi Yena discussed various topics, including Choi Yena's life-changing experience.

Recalling the incident, Choi Yena explained, "When I was in 5th grade, I went skiing for the first time with my brother. We ended up on an advanced course unexpectedly. Before I knew it, I lost consciousness and woke up in a hospital."

Doctors diagnosed her with a torn cruciate ligament and severe leg injuries, warning that she might never walk again despite rehabilitation efforts.

"My mother refused to accept this prognosis," Choi Yena continued. "She sought unconventional methods, even consulting a shaman who initially gave grim predictions. Undeterred, my mother persisted, taking me to a bathhouse three times a week. She would challenge me to swim out of the deep end on my own, which gradually helped me regain movement in my legs. Doctors were astonished by my progress and sought to learn from my mother's unconventional approach."

Moved by her family's sacrifices during her recovery, Choi Yena shared, "My parents faced financial hardships due to my medical bills. They sold kimbap at subway stations just to get by, and we didn't have a stable home. Now, I'm grateful to be in a position where I can support them, even buying them a house."

Choi Yena's story resonated deeply with the audience, earning her applause and admiration for her perseverance and her mother's unwavering belief in her recovery.

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.
