• "We couldn't agree more!" These 5 Idols were mistaken to be the maknae of the group despite being the oldest

    If the phrase "maknae (youngest member) on top" sounds familiar, have you ever thought about what it means when the opposite is true?

    When fans and the public find out that some K-stars are the oldest members, they are often shocked.

    Here are five K-stars who, even though they are the oldest, still have the young energy of a maknae.

    BTS Jin

    This man seems to be getting older instead of younger, but Jin is the oldest person in the group. People often think he is one of the younger ones.

    Not just because he looks like a baby, but also because he likes to joke around.

    JYJ Jaejoong

    If someone told you that Jaejoong is actually 36 years old, would you believe them? People often think he is younger than he is because he looks young and is calm and kind.

    g.o.d Park Joon Hyung

    Park Joon Hyung is a first-generation star and the group's oldest member, but you wouldn't know it from the way he acts around other people. He is calm and easygoing.

    TWICE Nayeon

    Often times people make the mistake of thinking the leader of the group is the oldest, and while that was the case with many groups in the past, as of recently, that isn't, and you can tell even within the group TWICE.

    Many mistake TWICE Jihyo to be the oldest member, but did you know it's actually Nayeon?

    (G)-IDLE Miyeon

    This is another group where the head should be the oldest, but Miyeon is actually the oldest.

    People probably thought she was one of the younger ones because she was always making jokes and acting wild.

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
