• Yoo Jae Suk Hilariously Calls Out Hwang Jung Min for ‘Sucking Up’ to G-Dragon: "He's Acting Different Around Us"

    Yoo Jae Suk never holds back when it comes to teasing his friends, and this time, Hwang Jung Min was his latest target!

    On March 8, a new video titled "Pocket-sized Excuses" was uploaded on the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun. The episode featured actor Kim Kwang Kyu, actor Lee Seo Jin, and broadcaster Ji Suk Jin, and as always, Yoo Jae Suk made sure to bring the laughs.

    During the conversation, Ji Suk Jin casually mentioned, "I was supposed to have a meal with Hwang Jung Min."

    Hearing this, Yoo Jae Suk couldn’t help but bring up something he noticed, saying, "I really need to have a meal with Jung Min hyung, seriously. But I saw that he met G-Dragon?"

    Ji Suk Jin immediately agreed, jokingly adding, "Yeah, I kind of felt some distance. Since he's hanging out with G-Dragon, he seems a bit distant now."

    That’s when Yoo Jae Suk dropped the funniest line, making everyone crack up. He said, "That hyung was totally sucking up to G-Dragon. He was acting completely different from how he is with us!"

    Despite the playful teasing, Yoo Jae Suk and Ji Suk Jin made sure to show love for G-Dragon too, adding, "I like GD too."

    Looks like even top actors can’t resist G-Dragon’s charm.

  • 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!
