Just 25 seconds into their [performance](http://mashable.com/2015/09/07/kpop-girls-fall-on-stage/) in the South Korean capital, Seoul, on Saturday, one of the members of Korean girl band GFriend took a tumble on stage.

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.
