Actor Yoo Seung Ho shared how he prepared for his role as an LGBTQ+ character.

On July 24, a rehearsal for the play ‘Angels in America’ took place at Green Campus, Sungshin Women's University in Seoul.

‘Angels in America,’ written by Tony Kushner and first performed in 1991, explores themes of discrimination and confusion faced by social minorities in 1980s America. Yoo Seung Ho plays Prior Walter, a character with AIDS who receives a prophecy from an angel.

Yoo Seung Ho said, “I didn’t know much about the issues in ‘Angels in America,’ so I worked with other actors and tried things like manicures and accessories. The director thought it would help us understand the gaze that minorities face in everyday life, and it was very useful.”

He added, “I know I can’t fully understand their feelings, but I’m working with senior actor Son Ho Jun to get closer to their experiences.”

The play ‘Angels in America’ will run at LG SIGNATURE Hall in LG Art Center Seoul from August 6 to September 28.

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.
