In the February issue of 'Marie Claire', an interview with Seo Kang Joon, who played the role of 'Kim Sae Ha' in the Disney Plus original series 'Grid' scheduled to be released in February, was released before enlistment.

In the pictorial, Seo Kang Joon completed a pictorial with a cool yet soft winter atmosphere by stylishly digesting suit setups, knitted sweaters and checked pants.

In the following interview, Seo Kang Joon felt "unusual" when he started reading the script about his first impression of "Grid." It was an unsimple structure in which various materials and events were arranged as the story unfolds." In addition, he said that he worked hard to find the real appearance of Kim Sae Ha in the "Grid", which focuses on a more dramatic situation than his daily life, adding that "Sae-ha has only one important purpose and runs while looking at it."

He, who has been working steadily since his debut, said, “My love for acting is getting bigger and bigger. As I learn more about acting, I feel that I am lacking, but as I go through this process, I can see that I have grown at some point”,

More pictorials and interviews of actor Seo Kang Joon can be found in the February issue of 'Marie Claire' and on the Marie Claire website.

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!
