MBC's drama 'Black Out' has just hit its highest viewership ratings.

According to Nielsen Korea, the 7th episode of 'Black Out', which aired on September 6, reached a nationwide rating of 5.7%.

The show started with a 2.8% rating for its first episode, but thanks to positive reviews and word-of-mouth, its ratings steadily climbed, doubling by the 7th episode.

'Black Out' is a gripping crime thriller about a young man who’s wrongly accused of a murder where no body was found.

After being convicted, he sets out to uncover the truth ten years later. The series, directed by Byun Young Joo in her drama debut, stars Byun Yo Han and Go Joon.

Meanwhile, SBS’s 'Good Partner', which used to hold the top spot, saw its ratings dip. The 12th episode recorded 14.4%, down from its peak of 17.2% in episode 9, showing signs of slowing down.

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.
