Kim Jung Hyun To Sing A Christmas Carol After Recovering From His Past Controversies
Actor Kim Jung-hyun, who is caught up in the controversy over being gas-lighted by his ex-girlfriend Seo Ye-ji, to sing a Christmas carol.
According to his agency, Story J Company, on December 5th, Kim Jung-hyun will participate in the 2021 carol project 'Merry Merry Christmas Day'. Together with Aer Music, the song will be released on music sites such as Melon on December 10th at noon. All of his proceeds will be donated to those in need.
Kim Jung-hyun moved to Story J in September after being caught up in controversy that he was gaslighted by his ex-girlfriend Seo Ye-ji. Gaslighting is the act of reinforcing dominance over others by cleverly manipulating the psychology or situation of others to make them doubt themselves.
In addition to the line-up Kim Tae-hee and Lee Wan, Seo In-guk, Oh Yeon-seo, Lee Si-eon, Kim Seong-cheol, Go-jun, and Kim Da-som from the group 'Sistar' also participated in the caroling project.
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!
