Actor Kwak Dong-yeon will be the main character of the drama 'Gauss Electronics'.

According to the news on November 15th, Kwak Dong-yeon recently decided to appear in 'Gauss Electronics', which is preparing to air next year. It is known that details such as schedule are being coordinated.

'Gauss Electronics' is based on the original webtoon of the same name by writer Kwak Baek-soo, which has been serialized for 4 seasons for 8 years since June 2011. The webtoon was popular with the multinational company Gauss Electronics as the background, depicting the sorrows of office workers.

In the play, Kwak Dong-yeon plays Lee Sang-sik, an employee at the marketing division of Gauss Electronics, a multinational corporation. He is simple and sincere, but he is a novice office worker who lacks insight.

He is so idealistic that he unwittingly becomes a troublemaker for the department. He is expected to show off his comical charm as he plays an active role as the central axis of the drama depicting the daily life of the marketing headquarters.

PD Junsu Park of Mnet's 'God of Music 2' is in charge of directing, and it will be produced by Fan Entertainment, which produced SBS 'Racket Boys' and KBS 2TV's 'When the Camellia Blooms'.

He is currently working on casting for the main and supporting roles, and has recently been aired on MBC.

As a result, Dong-Yeon Kwak will continue to present his works next year without a break. TVing's original series 'Ghost' and tvN's 'Big Mouse', which are currently being filmed, are also scheduled to be released next year.

He made his debut in the KBS 2TV weekend drama ‘My Husband Got a Family’ in 2012, and has shown various characters from villains to comics through more than 20 dramas. In May of this year, he showed off his presence with tvN's 'Vincenzo'.

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!
