• LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eunchae Faces Hyperventilation During Rehearsal: "I Had to Do It No Matter What"

    Hong Eunchae from LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chae Won, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) had a tough time during comeback rehearsals, leaving fans worried. On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'HYBE LABELS' released the first episode of LE SSERAFIM's documentary 'LE SSERAFIM - Make It Look Easy.'

    The documentary starts with the members watching their rehearsal video with their performance director after their end-of-year stage in 2022. Leader Kim Chae Won was nervous, saying, "I hope we do well, please." The director encouraged them to have fun on stage.

    In interviews, all the members shared their hopes to perform well. Sakura said, "I want to hear that we're doing well." Huh Yunjin admitted, "I want to do well in everything. My ambition is too high." Kazuha showed her passion, saying, "I feel a responsibility to do well," while Hong Eunchae confessed her worries, "I want to do better, but I often wonder, 'Is this the limit?'"

    The documentary also showed Hong Eun-chae becoming the youngest MC for KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank.' After her interview, she said, "They said I did well. I wasn't nervous, and the response was good." But she also felt anxious, saying, "If I had to choose between getting selected or not, I really don't know. I think I did well. I said I want to be busy every Friday. I can't fail after saying, 'See you on Friday.'"

    In the documentary, Hong Eunchae is seen experiencing hyperventilation during rehearsal on May 1st, before the media showcase for LE SSERAFIM's first full-length album 'UNFORGIVEN.' The production team gave her an oxygen mask and told her to breathe calmly while the members checked on her.

    The performance director explained, "This happens sometimes. During practice, she gets short of breath and experiences something similar to hyperventilation. It's not serious, but it can happen."

    After calming down, Hong Eunchae finished the performance. She said, "I only thought that I had to do it no matter what."

    Huh Yunjin understood the situation, saying, "Eunchae didn't want that to happen. We all worked hard, and it must have been frustrating for her body not to keep up. I also worried if we were pushing too hard."

    Four months before their debut, Sakura also experienced similar symptoms during practice but returned to the practice room, saying, "I feel more anxious being away from here."

    In an interview, Sakura explained, "I'm afraid of stopping. You don't know how many times in life you'll get the chance to run. We need to keep showing something new and telling our story." She added, "I want us to be remembered as a truly amazing team, both in terms of records and performance."

    Kim Chaewon also shared her thoughts, saying, "It's not the right time to say that 'This group (LE SSERAFIM) is the best.' But in the future, I want us to be a truly successful group, known for the best performances and unique stories."

  • 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.
