KARA's Han Seungyeon recently shared heartfelt memories of a happy day spent with the late Goo Hara.

On June 22nd, SBS’s “Unanswered Questions” delved into the mystery surrounding the theft of Goo Hara’s safe and the suspect captured on CCTV.

Han Seungyeon reminisced about their special bond, saying, “We called Hara ‘Ppeppong’ because she was very slim, and I was ‘Jjoppong’ because I was small. It was our little joke.”

The show also featured footage of Goo Hara’s time in the entertainment industry with KARA. The group was the first Korean female group to hold a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome.

Reflecting on this milestone, Han Seungyeon said, “It was such an exciting day. It was a top 3 moment in all our lives. We were very worried, but the tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale, making it a truly happy moment.”

After KARA disbanded, Goo Hara continued her career in Japan but tragically passed away after returning to Korea briefly. Her sudden death shocked fans, especially since she had been actively communicating with them.

During the interview, Han Seungyeon became emotional, recalling a special day they shared. “There was a day when we were both very stressed, and we went to a nearby beach. We played games, bought a lot of fireworks, played baseball games, and ate together. It was my first time doing that, and it was such a good day for me. I wish I could have just one more day like that.”

Goo Hara was found dead at her home in Seoul, on November 24, 2019. The day after the 49-day memorial service for Goo Hara, on January 14, 2020, a man stole a personal safe from her residence.

The police identified the suspect as someone who knew Goo Hara personally, but the thief has not been caught yet.

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.
