On January 26, 2025, the reunion everyone had been waiting for happened!

Actors Jang Seo Hee and Lee Jae Hwang reunited after 15 years on the first episode of KBS Joy and KBS2TV’s Long-Awaited Reunion.

The two actors, who played lovers in the iconic SBS drama Temptation of Wife, shared a warm and touching moment when Lee Jae Hwang made his entrance.

Their reunion was filled with laughter as the hosts, including Song Eun Yi and Kim Sook, couldn't help but ask about the chemistry between them during their time on the show.

When Song Eun Yi asked, "You two worked on Temptation of Wife for so long, did anything happen between you?"

Jang Seo Hee surprised everyone with a funny story. "In an interview, did I say it? I told him that if we're both single in 10 years, we should date", she revealed, making everyone burst into laughter.

Kim Sook followed up with, "Was there something between you two?" and Jang Seo Hee responded jokingly, "At that time, Lee Jae Hwang was even more handsome than now," which made the atmosphere even more light-hearted.

She added, "In daily dramas, there’s so much to film. Both of us were overwhelmed. If we had more time, maybe we could have stepped back and seen things more clearly, but we didn’t have time to think seriously."

Lee Jae Hwang also chimed in, "We were so busy, I just wanted to sleep. Back then, I was really nervous on set, but Seo Hee kept looking after me."

Their friendly banter left everyone smiling, showing just how close they were during their busy filming days.

The Long-Awaited Reunion show, which airs every Sunday at 9:20 PM, is giving fans a chance to relive the nostalgia of their iconic drama while enjoying their adorable friendship all over again.

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!
