K-pop fans have always been obsessed with the intricate choreography and iconic moves that their favorite idols perform on stage. However, one particular move from LE SSERAFIM's "ANTIFRAGILE" has caught everyone's attention for a surprising reason.

After the initial beat drop, the members stick out their tongues as they throw up their hands, a move that has become a fan favorite.

However, fans were stunned to learn that the move was not originally part of the choreography, but was instead suggested by Bang Shi Hyuk, the label head of Big Hit Music, the parent company of LE SSERAFIM.

The revelation was made on an episode of MMTG, where MC JaeJae praised member Chaewon for making the expression look pretty.

Chaewon then revealed the surprising origin of the move, saying "Actually, this [move], was because Bang Shi Hyuk PD said that he really hoped that [we would put in] a mehrong expression with our tongues. So I researched ways on how to stick out my tongue."

The term "mehrong" refers to a playful and mischievous expression often associated with children in Korean culture.

Bang Shi Hyuk's suggestion to incorporate it into the choreography adds a fun and lighthearted element to the performance, which is in line with the group's overall image.

Fans were quick to react to this revelation on social media, with many expressing their surprise and admiration for Bang Shi Hyuk's creativity.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
