Rookie girl group KISS OF LIFE (Julie, Natty, Belle, and Hanul) has made a big splash by winning the 'Global Hot Trend' award at the 2024 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA). The awards show was held at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan on September 8th.

KISS OF LIFE was thrilled to receive the award, showing their appreciation on stage. They said, "We want to thank everyone at our agency who has supported us and the hair and makeup staff who made us look beautiful."

Leader Julie gave a special shoutout to their fans, “We’re especially grateful to our fans, KISSY, who helped us win this award.” The group also built excitement for their upcoming performance by teasing a preview of what's to come.

The 'Global Hot Trend' award honors artists who are setting trends in the global music scene. Winners are chosen based on music performance, album sales, and a thorough judging process, with evaluations covering from September 24 of the previous year to August 31 of this year.

Since their debut with 'Shhh' in July last year, KISS OF LIFE has quickly gained fame with hits like 'Bad News,' 'Midas Touch,' and 'Sticky.' They were even named 'Monster Rookie' within a year. Their digital single 'Sticky' helped them secure their first music show win on 'The Show' on July 9. This month, they ranked third in brand reputation among rookie idol groups.

Looking ahead, KISS OF LIFE is set for a quick comeback in October and will kick off their first world tour on September 26th in Seoul.

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.
