Lee Ji Hoon Opens Up About Personal Gift Values and Upcoming Movie Role

In a recent video uploaded on the YouTube channel 'No Ppakkutak Jae-hoon', actor Lee Ji Hoon shared his strong beliefs regarding the significance of personal gifts.

During the humorous exchange, Tak Jae-hoon playfully remarked to Lee Ji Hoon, "I heard you become quite pathetic when you're in a relationship."

Lee Ji Hoon then shared his perspective on gift-giving, expressing, "I've never been much of a gift giver. Do we really need to buy luxury goods just to prove our love?"

Han Seung-yeon, also present in the conversation, interjected, saying, "Gifts don't always have to be luxurious."

Tak Jae-hoon joined in with his trademark humor, teasing Lee Ji Hoon by saying, "Lee Ji Hoon , just admit that you don't have money."

Shifting gears, it was also announced that Lee Ji Hoon is set to grace the big screen in the upcoming movie 'Seamless,' scheduled for release on July 5th.

In the film, he will portray the character Seung-jin, a dreamer aspiring to become a singer. Audiences eagerly await the opportunity to see Lee Ji Hoon's performance on the silver screen.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
