Red Velvet's Yeri reveals she initially refused to join the group, "I don't want to debut"
Red Velvet's Yeri opened up about a time she didn't want to join the group.
On July 1, a new episode of the web variety show with Red Velvet's Seulgi, Joy, and Yeri was released.
During the episode, Joy shared that she, Irene, Wendy, and Seulgi were picked as the final four members to debut, while Yeri was supposed to be the center of a new girl group.
Talking about that time, Yeri said, "I think my loyalty to my friends was stronger. I don't know what I was thinking, but I said, 'I won't debut,' and 'I'll act instead,'" catching everyone's attention.
Yeri explained, "It wasn't that I disliked the members, but I had dropped out of school to practice, so I didn't have any memories with my school friends. The trainee friends felt like my school friends."
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.
