Im YoonA's flawless visual was revealed.

Im YoonA was recently selected as the cover model for the January issue of Allure Korea, a fashion lifestyle magazine, and took a photo shoot with 'liveliness and excitement only in January'.

In the published pictorial, Im YoonA fashionably digested the cool mood mix and match look, exuding various charms from chic to loveliness.

In an interview conducted together, Im YoonA said, "I like to do pictorial shoots where I try out various styles in a short time. When I look at the camera, a different energy seems to come out of me than when I am on stage or when I am acting. I wanted to show a new feeling in this shoot too, but it was fun because I was able to shoot freely.”

When asked about the movie 'Happy New Year' (director Kwak Jae-yong), which will be released on December 29th, she said, "In this work, there are more voices than faces. It's a role I've never played before, and the concept of non-face-to-face romance was really fresh and good. You will be able to feel the excitement of our couple alone,” she replied, raising expectations for the work.

On the other hand, the interview with Im YoonA's honest story and various pictorial cuts can be found in the January issue of Allure Korea, and video content will also be released through the Allure YouTube channel and SNS, drawing a lot of interest.

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!
