As Cha Jun Hwan, who wrote a new history in Korean male figure skating, is gaining popularity, his ideal type is also being re-examined.

Cha Jun Hwan appeared on MBC every1 entertainment program "Video Star", which aired in 2020, and revealed that actor Song Ji Hyo is his ideal type, expressing his firm fan sentiment.

He, who was 20 at that time, shyly said that she looked beautiful when Song Ji Hyo was active in variety shows with a bubbly personality.

In the episode, Cha Jun Hwan also revealed that he had never been in a relationship.

Viewers were surprised by his confession that he was "no girlfriend since birth" with his outstanding figure skating skills as well as his beautiful appearance and gentle personality.

He added that he had trained figure skating since elementary school and had never been in a relationship because he graduated from boys' middle and high school.

This was not the first time Cha Jun Hwan picked Song Ji Hyo as his ideal type.

When he attended the "SBS Entertainment Awards" in 2018 as a Rookie of the Year award presenter, he chose actress Song Ji Hyo as his ideal type.

At that time, Cha Jun Hwan looked at Song Ji Hyo, who was at the awards ceremony, and confessed with a trembling voice that he had been his ideal type since childhood.

Thanks to the popularity of Cha Jun Hwan, who rose to national prestige, the fact that his ideal type is Song Ji Hyo was re-examined, and netizens expressed their envy towards Song Ji Hyo. 

Meanwhile, Cha Jun Hwan scored a total of 282.87 points in the '2022 Beijing Winter Olympics' and received a lot of support and love, ranking 5th in the history of Korean men's skating.

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!
