Actor Jung Ho Yeon's 'Squid Game' global promotion behind the scenes has been revealed.

On February 10, 'Saram Entertainment Login' YouTube channel, uploaded a vlog of Jung Ho Yeon digesting the 'Squid Game' global promotion schedule between LA and NY for 29 days.

Despite her busy schedule, Jung Ho Yeon not only did lose her bright appearance but also professionally took care of herself and digested the schedule slowly. The released video contains an interview with major US media and moments of Jung Ho Yeon, who is busy preparing for the 'Gotham Awards' from the moment of attending the 'CFDA Fashion Awards'. In particular, Jung Ho Yeon's playful side of her, which was not usually seen in the video, was revealed and attracted attention.

Jung Ho Yeon cheerfully colored the scene by exchanging puns in English with actor Park Hae Soo, who participated in the global promotion of 'Squid Game'. She also said that she played a role as a mood maker on site, such as Jung Ho Yeon greeted the staff brightly first and sang, "Let's not be burdened, no need to be burdened!" .

The staff, who had no choice but to accumulate fatigue in the busy schedule, praised Jung Ho Yeon's appearance, saying, "It's great to work with (Hoyeon)" and "It's so comfortable and nice". Fans, enthusiastic about the completely different appearance from Dawn in 'Squid Game', said, "Do you think Dawn has such a charm in 'Squid Game'"?, "It makes me feel good just looking at it", "The body of Dawn is so bright", " You've had a busy day after 'Squid Game' "and "I like Jung Ho Yeon's bright energy."

Previously, Jung Ho Yeon attended the 'LACMA Gala' and 'CFDA Fashion Awards', followed by decorating the US cover of Vogue with 'Asia's first solo', continuing an unprecedented global step. Not only that, Jung Ho Yeon made her strong presence at the Gotham Awards, where she appeared as her sole presenter, and her debut feature film earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 28th Annual American Actors Guild Awards (SAG).

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!
