Choi Sangyeop, a member of the band Lucy, has issued an apology following the controversy surrounding his "paper wrap" comment, which some people found offensive.

On December 4th, Choi Sangyeop took to the fan platform Bubble to apologize, saying, "I realize that I disappointed many people with the words I shared on Bubble." He continued, "I apologize for using inappropriate words and causing concern to those who have supported me."

The issue started when a fan mentioned their "Polaroid camera," and Choi Sangyeop replied with "paper wrap." He went on to explain, "When you take a Polaroid, paper comes out," but some netizens misunderstood it as a derogatory remark toward women, linking it to a negative term for menstruating women.

In his apology, Choi Sangyeop clarified, "The words I used were not meant to have any other meaning or intention. However, I regret my carelessness and will be more careful in the future."

He added, "Although it’s a little late, I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt or disappointed. I will be more mindful of my actions going forward." He also bowed in apology.

Choi Sangyeop debuted as a member of Lucy in May 2020 and has earned a lot of love with hits like "Kehwa," "Nori," and "Hero." Lucy will be holding their solo concert "Lucy Days" on December 8th at the KBS Arena in Seoul.

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.
