• NewJeans Fans Launch Protests, Demand Min Hee Jin’s Return to ADOR

    Fans of NewJeans are taking action with truck and wreath protests aimed at HYBE, demanding the restoration of ADOR and its CEO Min Hee Jin.

    On September 23rd, the NewJeans fan union, made up of groups like NewJeans Gallery, Team Bunnies, and Team Global Tokkiz, announced they would be holding truck protests from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in front of HYBE's Yongsan headquarters.

    The protest route includes stops at HYBE, Gwanghwamun Square, Hongdae Station, and National Assembly Station before returning to the main office.

    The fans addressed HYBE's Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, saying, “Why is HYBE, which says it supports independence for its labels, trying to take control of ADOR and push out CEO Min Hee Jin? Why are you ignoring agreements and court rulings?”

    They added, “The NewJeans members, even though they've only been debuted for two years, have spoken up for their careers. As the head of a major company, aren’t you ashamed to hide behind HYBE’s management and media?”

    The fan union stressed that it’s HYBE’s responsibility to resolve the situation, noting, “The NewJeans members made it clear during a live broadcast that they want to avoid conflict. It’s time for Chairman Bang Si Hyuk to address the ‘restoration of Min Hee Jin and normalization of ADOR’ directly.”

  • Lee Min Ho Shares the Hilarious Story Behind His Famous Baeksang Fall—The One Thing He’ll Never Forget!

    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.
