Youngest member of girl group UNIS loses baby tooth during broadcast
A member of the South Korean girl group UNIS had an awkward moment on camera after she lost one of her baby teeth during an episode of their reality show.
In a recent episode of a web show titled "Unibus Tour," the girls were enjoying a meal together when their youngest member, Lim Seowon, suddenly spit something out of her mouth after biting into a piece of meat.
Her bandmates all looked in her direction and asked what had happened, to which Seowon then blurted out, "My tooth fell out!"
The incident caused mixed reactions within the group, with some of the girls laughing alongside Seowon for the unexpected moment while others were shocked and feeling concerned for her.
Seowon then excused herself from the table to clean the blood from her mouth as a result of her fallen tooth.

Fellow member Yunha, who is a Filipina, then shared with the others how Seowon had already been getting annoyed by her tooth during their dinner.
"My tooth is almost falling out," the singer whispered to Yunha before they started eating.
Nevertheless, Yunha found something to celebrate in the moment as it was "another special memory" between the group.
In the comments section, many of their fans joined in on the fun and made jokes about the bizarre moment.
"OMYGHAAAD. Seowonnie's tooth falling made me laugh so hard," one user commented.
Others said, "Watching these interactions feels like being on a chaotic family road trip! The challenges, the snacks, and SEOWON losing her tooth—it's all too funny and so relatable! Moments like these make me appreciate how close the team is. Can't wait to see more memories like this!"
Seowon is among the youngest K-pop idols active in the industry. She managed to debut with UNIS at the young age of 12 on March 27 earlier this year with the mini album We UNIS.
Prior to becoming an official member of the group, the now 13-year-old music artist graduated from elementary school in February.
