(G)I-DLE member Yuqi and GOT7 member Jackson were caught up in absurd dating rumors.

On February, a number of posts were posted on Weibo in China saying that Yuqi spent the night at Jackson's house.

According to reports, after checking in at a hotel in Beijing, Yuqi got out of the hotel and got into a car driven by a driver, and returned to the hotel the next day with a bouquet of roses.

A netizen ignited a dating rumor, claiming that the driver was the same person as Jackson's driver and that the neighborhood where Yuqi stayed was the same as Jackson's.

Such claims are spreading rapidly in China and are receiving a lot of attention as they occupy the top search terms on Chinese portal sites Baidu and Weibo.

However, some suggested that the length of time the two stayed in China was different, and they responded that the dating rumors were like a patchwork.

While the relationship between Jackson and Yuqi, which is spreading on social media, is known to be unclear, the two agencies have not expressed any position regarding the dating rumor.

Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE is scheduled to make a comeback with a new album in March, and Jackson established the label Team Wang in 2017 to conduct domestic and Chinese activities at the same time. 

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!
