JYP Entertainment's rookie girl group NMIXX members Jinni and Bae radiated a mysterious atmosphere as if they were swimming in a dream.

JYP is sequentially releasing teaser contents for the first single 'AD MARE' of the new girl group NMIXX, which is scheduled to debut on February 22, through the official SNS channel. On February 13, a second personal teaser photo of Jinni and Bae was posted. Jinni and Bae gave off a fantastic feeling in an unrealistic space where they visualized the sea where the transparent jellyfish and coral reefs danced in purple. Jinni boasted her distinct features and conveyed a unique charm in her eyes.

Her bob haircut showed off an elegant pose reminiscent of her mermaid princess. In the first teaser image, the two members showed a special presence with a unique face chain and anti-war beauty that goes back and forth between urban charm and innocence. In addition, in the 'QUALIFYING' series, dance and vocal cover content released as part of a pre-promotion last year, it proved infinite possibilities and foreshadowed the emergence of a newcomer with both visuals and skills.

NMIXX, the group that will decorate the finale of the K-pop 4th generation girl group lineup, is throwing a ticket to the music industry with the title song 'O.O' of their debut single 'AD MARE'. The name of the song was completed by embodying the eyes widened in surprise and the exclamation “Oh!”, and contained the confidence to prepare to be surprised by seeing something new. JYP revealed the famous composers in Korea and abroad, such as THE HUB and Dr.

NMIXX members Lily, Haewon, Seolyun, Jinni, Bae, Jiu, and Gyujin have all-rounder capabilities that are not limited to specific positions such as dance, vocals, and visuals. In the group name, the word 'MIX', which symbolizes combination and diversity, is added to the letter 'N', which means now, new, next, and unknown n, to convey the aspiration of 'the best combination to take responsibility for a new era'.

NMIXX will make its debut with the release of its debut single 'AD MARE' on February 22, 2022, at 6 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!
