But not long after she picked herself up, band member Yuju (seen wearing a white knee protector) fell over again, and then again and again. In fact she slipped over eight times during the four-minute song, reports Mashable. Midway through the performance of their new hit _Me Gustas Tu_, another member, SinB, also face-planted the slippery stage. A video of the performance posted to [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player%5Fembedded&v=Ag2R7Mt8yI8) has been viewed more than 1 million times since it was uploaded on Saturday. Despite the blunders the girls regained their composure and carried on with their high-energy performance like true professionals, demonstrating to us all that no matter how many times life knocks you down, just get back up and carry on. \[[_Mashable_](http://mashable.com/2015/09/07/kpop-girls-fall-on-stage/)\] ### Artists Who Have Never Won A Grammy  Queen John Rodgers—Redferns/Getty Images  Jackson 5 Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images  Spice Girls Ray Burmiston—Photoshot/Getty Images  GLENDALE, AZ - FEBRUARY 01: Recording artist Katy Perry performs onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium on February 1, 2015 in Glendale, Arizona.
