• 'Ghost Doctor' Who Performed Surgery While Rain Pretended To Be Kim Beom Took The Highest Ratings Of 6.2% And Took The Top Spot In Monday-Tuesday Dramas

    The drama 'Ghost Doctor' starring Jung Ji Hoon (Rain) and Kim Beom is receiving a lot of love from viewers.

    According to Nielsen Korea, an audience rating research company on January 25th, tvN's 'Ghost Doctor', which aired the day before, recorded an audience rating of 6.2% based on paid households nationwide.

    'Ghost Doctor' took the top spot in the Monday-Tuesday drama, beating KBS2's 'Moonshine', which had an audience rating of 5.1%.

    Also, the record of 6.2% is the highest viewership rating of 'Ghost Doctor', exceeding the 5.7% achieved in the 4th episode.

    On this day's broadcast, Cha Young Min (Jung Ji Hoon) and Ko Seung Tak (Kim Beom) created a friendly atmosphere with their first collaboration, but then again quarreled.

    On the day of the operation Jessica (Ahn Hee-yeon), unlike Cha Young Min, who was fully prepared, Ko Seung Tak did not appear in the operating room, and there was an immediate situation.

    The moment the professor who performed the operation touched the artery and blood bled, Ko Seung Tak appeared dramatically, and Cha Young Min took possession of it and quickly solved the problem.

    At the end of the broadcast, Cha Young Min, who was trying to tell an anecdote about his internship, and Ko Seung Tak, who prevented the return of an emergency patient whose life was in danger, gave tension.

    Meanwhile, 'Ghost Doctor' depicts a medical story that takes place when an arrogant genius doctor of godly medicine, a golden spoon resident with no sense of duty, and two doctors with extreme backgrounds and skills share a body.

    'Ghost Doctor' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10:30 PM.

  • 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!
