Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri Showed off Their Unique Chemistry

Fashion magazine 'Cosmopolitan' unveiled the pictorials of Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri, the main characters of KBS2's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Moonshine', which will be aired for the first time on the 20th, through the January 2022 issue.

In the published pictorial, Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri showed off their glamorous couple wearing uniform black outfits.

Lee Hyeri is seen wearing a black sleeveless dress adorned with sparkling crystals and held in the arms of Yoo Seung Ho in a sleek black suit.

Yoo Seung Ho created a strong mood with a hairstyle that slightly covered his eyes with bangs.

In another pictorial, Hyeri and Yoo Seung Ho are seen side by side with an object in between.

Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri said, "It's awkward to see the two of us dressed properly after only seeing ouselves in hanbok for 7 months," but quickly resolved the awkwardness and completed a warm couple visual.

The drama 'Moonshine' is a fusion historical drama inspired by the Joseon Dynasty, when the prohibition of alcohol was imposed. . The drama depicts the process of two people meeting like fate and accepting each other.

Yoo Seung Ho said, "Hyeri's personality makes it easy to open people's hearts. I don't speak first, so Hyeri's (friendly) personality helped a lot."

He expressed his gratitude, "Starting with "Has Hyeri eaten every day?" and she asks me about this and that, so I can have something to say and continue the conversation."

Unlike Yoo Seung Ho, who has participated in historical dramas, Lee Hye Ri, who is challenging for the first historical drama this time, said, "I made a confession, (not a literal confession), when I was reading the script. I was a senior for a while, so I asked for help. It helped me a lot by telling me that if I have a little more time, a good work will come out.”

Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri had been living together for 7 months, so they asked each other questions not only on the set but also during the interview, creating a perfect 'chemistry', and the laughter did not stop on the set.

Lee Hyeri shared, "Some people find it annoying when I keep asking about trivial things, but (Seungho) oppa is very good at it. Did you answer honestly?"

Then Yoo Seung Ho responded, "(When Hyeri's eyes shine) It's time to joke with me.. Even though her face doesn't seem to be smiling, there is already a smile in her eyes. It seemed like it," he said, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, the interview and pictorials of Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Hye Ri, who played 'Nam Young' and 'Kang Roseo' in 'Moonshine', and pictorials can be found in the January 2022 issue of Cosmopolitan and the Cosmopolitan website.

'Moonshine' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 pm.

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!
