The band Jannabi is facing criticism after it was revealed that they continued to work with Yoo Younghyun, a former member who left the group in 2019 due to a school bullying controversy.

On November 13, Jannabi’s agency, Pepo Music, issued an apology through a fan cafe notice, announcing that they would no longer collaborate with Yoo Younghyun, who had been working as a sound engineer.

The agency's CEO, Choi Jeongjun, expressed regret, saying, "The process of sharing this matter with fans was mishandled. We made poor decisions and didn’t respond properly, which disappointed many fans."

Yoo Younghyun had admitted to allegations of school violence back in May 2019, which led to his departure from the band. Despite this, he continued to work as a sound engineer for the group until recently. The situation grew worse when fans voiced their concerns, and the agency’s decision to remove these fans from the fan cafe only fueled the anger.

CEO Choi attempted to defend the band, stating, "We never tried to hide or cover up this issue. However, due to ongoing matters with Yoo's past actions, we planned to address everything once those issues were resolved." Despite this explanation, fans’ anger did not calm down.

Band member Choi Jeonghoon also apologized, saying, "I sincerely apologize for trying to bring him back as a staff member in an improper way."

Jannabi, which was formed in 2011, originally included Yoo Younghyun, Choi Jeonghoon, and Kim Dohyeong.

They later expanded to a five-member group before Yoo Younghyun’s departure in 2019. The band faced further challenges when Yoon Gyeol left in 2021 following allegations of assault, and Jang Gyeongjun took a break from activities after getting married.

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.
