• ZEROBASEONE Makes History in Japan, First Foreign Artist to Achieve Three Oricon Titles

    Boy group ZEROBASEONE is making waves in Japan! On October 31, Oricon announced that the group, which includes Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Bin, Park Geon Wook, and Han Yoo Jin, has topped three categories on the Oricon weekly rankings with their Blu-ray & DVD 2024 ZEROBASEONE FAN-CON IN JAPAN. This marks a historic moment as they are the first foreign artist to win three titles simultaneously in the weekly video rankings this year.

    ZEROBASEONE held their first fan concert in Japan, 2024 ZEROBASEONE FAN-CON IN JAPAN, at K-Arena Yokohama in March. This event was a huge success, as they sold out all the seats and got to meet their local fans for the first time.

    The Blu-ray & DVD includes 11 amazing performances, featuring their hit single ゆらゆら -運命の花- (Yurayura -Unmei no Hana-*), which reached number one on the Oricon weekly single, combined single, and monthly single charts right after its release. The DVD also has fun game segments that highlight their close interactions with fans.

    Since their debut in Japan, ZEROBASEONE has received a fantastic response. Their first single, ゆらゆら -運命の花-, became a Half Million Seller just one week after it came out. The Japan Record Association awarded it Double Platinum status for selling over 500,000 copies by March.

    On top of that, ZEROBASEONE recently released their new digital single Only One Story, which is featured as the opening theme for the popular anime Pokémon. This just shows how influential they are becoming!

    With their explosive popularity, ZEROBASEONE is ready to continue their overseas tour, 2024 ZEROBASEONE THE FIRST TOUR [TIMELESS WORLD], with concerts in Aichi from November 29 to December 1 and in Kanagawa on December 4 and 5. Fans can’t wait to see what they will do next!

  • 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.
