Actors Lee Dong Wook and SHINee's Minho surprised everyone by appearing on the broadcast of the women's team table tennis bronze medal match at the '2024 Paris Olympics.'

On August 10 (KST), at the South Paris Arena 4 in France, the Korean women's table tennis team, featuring Shin Yu Bin, Lee Eun Hye, and Jeon Ji Hee, achieved a huge win against the German team with a 3-0 victory.

This victory brought Korea its first Olympic team event medal in women's table tennis since the event was introduced at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

During the match, viewers spotted Lee Dong Wook and Minho waving the South Korean flag and cheering enthusiastically for the team. Their excitement and joy were clear, especially when the bronze medal was secured.

Minho later shared photos from the event on his social media, writing, "Well done, well done, well done!!!!" He also posted a picture of Shin Yu Bin, Jeon Ji Hee, and Lee Eun Hye walking with the South Korean flag, proudly captioning it, "Korea's bronze medal, the best!"

Lee Dong Wook and Minho were recently named the first-ever 'Olympic™ Friends' by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

This new program involves celebrities who are not athletes in promoting the values of the Olympic Movement, and they are the first in the world to receive this title.

Additionally, actor Joo Sang Wook and his wife, actress Cha Ye Ryun, were also seen at the women's team table tennis bronze medal match at the '2024 Paris Olympics.'

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.
