• ILLIT Drops Concept Photos for Mini 2nd Album, Featuring Girls in School Uniforms

    Rookie group ILLIT (Yoona, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) has released new concept photos that are full of youthful charm, exciting fans worldwide. On the 1st (KST), ILLIT’s agency, Belift Lab, shared the "TO" version concept photos and film for their upcoming mini 2nd album I'LL LIKE YOU, set to drop on the 21st. The "TO" version gives off a dreamy vibe, expressing the feeling of wanting to be with someone, even in dreams.

    In the "TO" version, the members show off a lovable and youthful image, wearing different styles of school uniforms like cardigans and hooded zip-ups.

    Each member displays her own unique charm in these looks. The setting includes heart-shaped balloons floating outside a familiar subway station, giving off a slightly surreal and mysterious atmosphere. The girls are seen resting on each other while sleeping or gazing at the sky from a window, bringing a mix of bright yet sentimental feelings.

    The concept film that was released alongside the photos also highlights ILLIT’s playful and quirky side. In the video, Iroha falls asleep on the subway and ends up in a mysterious box where she reunites with the other members. Together, they go to school, run around, listen to music, and take photos in a photo booth, showcasing the bond of teenage friends. With dreamy visuals that mix reality and fantasy, the film has received lots of love from fans all over the world. Compared to the mischievous vibe of the "WITH" version that was shared earlier, this new content has fans even more excited for the upcoming album.

    Meanwhile, ILLIT’s debut track "Magnetic" continues to stay strong on the charts. According to Billboard’s latest rankings (October 5), the song from their first mini-album SUPER REAL ME is still holding its place, ranking 88th on the 'Global Excl. U.S.' chart and 166th on the 'Global 200' chart. "Magnetic" first entered these charts on April 6 and has stayed there for 27 weeks, proving ILLIT’s growing presence in the music scene.

  • 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.
