• RIIZE to Drop First Japanese Single ‘Lucky’ on July 29th, A New Emotional Pop Experience

    RIIZE is set to release their first Japanese single, "Lucky."

    Coming out on July 29 at midnight on various global music platforms, "Lucky" showcases RIIZE's special "emotional pop" style, centered around the theme of love. The single features three tracks: "Lucky," "Be My Next," and "Same Key."

    The title track "Lucky" is an upbeat funk pop song with rhythmic drums and a catchy chorus. The fun lyrics encourage boldly going after love, comparing adding an extra leaf to a three-leaf clover to make a lucky four-leaf clover.

    Promotional images from the single were shared on RIIZE's official accounts starting on July 22nd, and a teaser for the "Lucky" music video was released on YouTube's SMTOWN channel at midnight on July 28th. The full "Lucky" music video will come out at the same time as the single, building excitement.

    Another track, "Be My Next," is a hip-hop song with lively electric guitar, synthesizer, and energetic 808 drum sounds. The lyrics talk about the feelings at the start of a love story. The single also includes "Same Key," which was popular as RIIZE's first Japanese drama OST.

    RIIZE's first Japanese single "Lucky" will also be released as a physical album in Japan on September 5, marking their Japanese debut.

  • 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.
