A discussion continues over a scene from the TVING web drama 'Work Later, Drink Now'.

In the TV show 'Work Later, Drink Now', which aired on November 5th, an episode of Kang Ji-gu (played by Jung Eun-ji) working as a high school teacher in the past was reported.

Ji-gu Kang had time alone with her student Park Se-jin (Shin Ji-hyo), who begs her to buy her alcohol even though she is a minor.

Ji-gu Kang prepared a can of carbonated beverage and a can of ionic beverage, and said, “Let’s think of it as soju and have a drink."

Sejin, a student who heard this, asked meaningfully, "No one really says anything even if I drink alcohol. Rather than that, the teacher wonders why my parents transferred me to this school. You might be surprised if you hear it."

Kang Ji-ji firmly drew a line saying, "If you make a rag or something strange again, I won't leave you alone."

After continuing the conversation for a while, her student Sejin said, "Are you sure you won't be embarrassed?" Then, suddenly, she kissed Ji-gu, a teacher and an adult, on the lips.

When Kang Ji-gu wiped her lips and asked, "What are you doing?" Sejin said, "Are you even more shy about this than a mop?"

Netizens who saw this were divided into two opinions. First of all, the one who said, "I inserted a kissing scene between the same sexes for the dramatic effect of the drama" showed positive reactions such as "The world seems to be changing more and more", "Scenes like this should also appear", "It was a fresh scene" and etc.

There were also opposing opinions. They raised concerns such as "It's a crime to kiss without the other person's consent", "It doesn't matter if they are of the same sex, but the problem is that they suddenly kissed in secret", "If you think about the real situation, the person being hurt will be very embarrassed" and etc.

The TV web drama 'Work Later, Drink Now' is co-starred by Lee Seon-bin, Han Seon-hwa, and Jung Eun-ji. The work is a full-fledged riding tactic drama depicting the daily lives of three women whose belief in life is a glass of wine at the end of the day.

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!
