Recently, stage malfunctions have become a hot topic among K-Pop fans, thanks to NMIXX’s university festival controversy.

But let’s rewind to a classic incident involving first-generation boy group U-KISS—one that left a lasting impression.

Back in 2011, while promoting their song “0330,” U-KISS faced an unexpected audio malfunction during an MBC music show.

The performance had ended, and as the members were about to exit the stage, the backtrack unexpectedly started playing again.

Confused but determined, they began singing the song, albeit with a little fumbling at first. Within seconds, though, they switched into pro mode.

Netizens are loving this blast from the past. Comments on Instiz include:

“LOL, I remember this!”

“Legendary!”

“Real ambition right there.”

“He just went ‘screw this’ and screamed!”

“Soohyun oppa… dropped to his knees!”

“It’s freaking hilarious how he suddenly dropped to his knees!”

“Really, no matter how many times I watch this, it’s always fun and fresh, and I’m amazed by their skill.”

“The funniest part was how everyone regained their composure after hearing the high note and started singing.”

“The producers were shouting, ‘Do it! Do it!’”

“Wow, they did really well.”

U-KISS’s unexpected mishap remains a milestone moment, and netizens can’t get enough of the comedy it brought to the stage.

Kim Jaejoong, the famous singer and businessman, recently revealed that he was the victim of a hacking incident involving his Kakao Pay account, raising concerns about his financial safety.

On May 7, the star shared his experience with fans via the official fan platform From, explaining that his Kakao Pay account was hacked and the password was changed without his permission. As a result, Kim Jaejoong was locked out of his account and couldn’t access any of his information, which made the situation even more difficult to handle.

He expressed frustration over the customer service process, sharing that he had contacted support multiple times for help. Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved. Kim Jaejoong pointed out a flaw in the system: “The hacker changed the password, so why do I, the victim, have to prove everything?”

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career. In 2023, he co-founded iNKODE Entertainment, a company where he works as a producer and businessman. iNKODE Entertainment currently manages artists like Oh Ji Yul, Jung Si Hyun, Lee Ji Hoon, and others. Kim Jae joong also launched the 7-member girl group Say My Name last year.

Even though he’s facing challenges, Kim Jaejoong’s career remains strong, and he’s taking steps to ensure this type of situation doesn’t happen again.
