BLACKPINK member Jennie has hit a bump with her song Mantra, which won’t be airing on KBS due to a broadcast ineligibility ruling.

On October 23, KBS revealed that Mantra was found ineligible for broadcasting because its lyrics mention specific brand names. This goes against Article 46 of the broadcasting review rules, which restricts advertising effects.

When a song is ruled ineligible, the problematic parts can be changed or removed for a chance at re-evaluation. To be aired on KBS programs like TV and radio, songs must receive an eligibility ruling.

Released on November 11, Mantra is a motivational song that encourages everyone to shine and embrace their unique qualities.

In related news, NCT's Jaehyun's new song Unconditional, set to drop on October 24, was also deemed ineligible for the same reason.

Other songs, including John Park's Vista, Lee Ye Jun's What If We Meet Again, CuRvY's Block Me, and Park Se Woong's Toy Story, have also faced broadcast ineligibility rulings.

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.
