Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho, the two main leads of the upcoming tvN drama 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' scheduled to be aired on August 28, stood side by side in front of the camera of 'Elle'.

The shooting, which was conducted as a solo couple pictorial of the two actors, captured the warm chemistry of Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho in a free atmosphere. It is said that the natural couple chemistry of Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho, who has many similarities, not only with the dimples that fit easily when smiling, but also with the characteristic bright and bright energy, provoked cheers from the field staff.

In the play, Shin Min-ah takes on the role of Yoon Hye-jin, a realistic dentist who came down to the Gaet Village 'Gongjin' by chance. Regarding the reason for choosing 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' as her next work, she said, "It's a warm story. Not only the main characters but also the stories of the surrounding characters are alive. In a time like these days, as much as I wanted to play a bright romantic comedy, viewers can tell this lovely story. I thought you might want to meet him."

Regarding the actor Kim Seon-ho, who first worked with her, she said, "Like Banjang Hong, who can do anything in the play, I was surprised that he did well in reality. Thank you for making it," she said warmly.

Kim Seon-ho, who took on the role of Hong Doo-sik and Hong Doo-sik, the all-rounder of Gongjin in the sea village, said in an interview after filming, “As I play Hong Doo-sik, even if my head builds a new house during filming, I get ‘OK!’. Even if the collar is turned upside down in the wind, it just goes. It is fun to create freely and naturally.”

Also, about her partner, Shin Min-ah, she said, "She has a very honest and lovely side. I've never seen him make an impression during filming. I never frowned. I felt that the bowl was a big person.” He did not spare his admiration. He continued, "In the drama, Hyejin is a wonderful person with courage and confidence to honestly express herself. That aspect is really attractive.”

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!
