Girls' Generation’s Sooyoung revealed why she was so confident about being the center during her trainee days.

On September 11, Sooyoung appeared on the ‘Hyoyeon’s Level Up’ channel for the ‘Bobsa Hyoyeon’ segment.

In the video, Hyoyeon shared, “There was a moment when I felt envious of Sooyoung when we were about to debut. Sooyoung had already debuted in Japan and was preparing to debut as part of a trio. We were never supposed to be in a large group from the beginning.” She continued, “I was a bit upset at the time because I was three months junior to Sooyoung and felt envious of her debut.”

Sooyoung responded, “I thought I was really the ace. I was always included in the debut lineup. I believed I was the ace in SM’s eyes and the center with certainty.”

When Hyoyeon asked, “Didn’t you also do a duo? What did you expect for your comeback in Korea?” Sooyoung replied, “I dreamed of going solo but thought it wouldn’t work out. I expected to debut as a trio and still be the center, albeit awkwardly,” which elicited laughter.

Hyoyeon admitted, “We have something in common. When I kept getting external lessons while dancing, I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll be a solo artist.’”

Sooyoung agreed, “At that time, I only received lessons within SM, and sending someone for external lessons was quite rare. It meant ‘She has surpassed this class.’” Hyoyeon then said, “That made me a bit arrogant.”

Sooyoung confessed, “I thought, ‘Not being solo or the second BoA’ when they focused on us. It was a childish thought.”

Hyoyeon responded, “I think all the members thought that way,” and expressed pride in Girls' Generation, saying, “We gathered all our focus on vocals and other aspects and built ourselves up.”

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.
