Goo Hye Sun recently shared the surprising story behind her casting as Geum Jan Di in the hit drama Boys Over Flowers.

On the October 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Park Won Sook's Let's Live Together, she revealed how she impressed the production team.

During a morning chat with Park Won Sook, Hye Eun Yi, Kim Mi Ryeo, and herself, the conversation turned to Boys Over Flowers. Hye Eun Yi praised her, saying, "That drama was made for you."

Goo Hye Sun explained, “At that time, I was already busy with my next project when the opportunity for Boys Over Flowers came up. Usually, leads don’t have to audition, but when I got there, it turned out to be an audition room."

She recalled, “While reading the script, I heard them say I was too old for the role. I was 24, and the story is about high school students.”

She continued, “They could have talked about this after I left, but I heard them. So, I boldly told them, 'If you don’t like me, you don’t have to cast me.' I started to walk out, but then the writer said, 'This is the attitude we’re looking for!' and I was cast right then and there.”

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.
