ILLIT's track "Magnetic" has been named one of the top summer hits for 2024 on TikTok in Korea and Japan.

On August 21, TikTok released its "Songs of the Summer 2024" list, which ranks songs based on their popularity in app videos.

"Magnetic," from ILLIT's debut mini-album, took 6th place in Korea and 5th place in Japan. It's the only K-pop song to hit the Top 10 in both regions and achieved the highest ranking among international artists in Japan.

Released in March, "Magnetic" quickly made waves on global charts. It entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on April 20 and the UK's Official Singles Top 100 on April 5, setting records as the fastest K-pop debut song to achieve these feats.

As of August 24, "Magnetic" is at No. 41 on the "Global (excluding U.S.)" chart and No. 71 on the "Global 200," marking its 21st week on the charts.

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.
