• Taeyeon steps out with no makeup at the airport — Fans Say She still Looks Like Her Debut Era

    Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon is proving once again that time has no effect on her beauty!

    On March 17, Taeyeon was spotted at Incheon International Airport after returning from her overseas schedule.

    She rocked a casual but stylish look, wearing a white off-shoulder sweatshirt that showed off her shoulder line, paired with a chic black skirt.

    But what caught everyone's attention the most? Her completely bare face!

    With no eyebrows drawn and no lip color applied, Taeyeon’s flawless, baby-like skin and delicate features stood out.

    Fans couldn’t help but compare her fresh visuals to her debut days in Into the New World, saying she still looks the same as she did back then!

    Meanwhile, Taeyeon recently held her TAEYEON CONCERT - The TENSE at the Taipei Dome in Taiwan on March 16. She mesmerized the audience with her powerful vocals and top-tier performances.

    Notably, she became the first foreign artist to ever perform at the Taipei Dome, following Mandopop legends Jay Chou and Zhang Huimei. With all 35,000 seats selling out—including restricted-view seats—Taeyeon once again proved her status as a "trustworthy vocalist" with undeniable ticket power.

  • 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!
