Jun Ho, who is active as a singer and actor, enjoyed the honor of winning the "Korea PD Awards" actor award for the first time as an idol.

On April 6, the Korea PD Association released the results of awards in each category of the 34th Korea PD Awards.

Jun Ho, who was loved by the MBC drama "The Red Sleeve," was selected as the winner of the talent category, drawing attention.

This award is given to only one actor, both male, and female, and it is more meaningful to be judged and selected by incumbent producers.

In particular, actors such as Cha In Pyo, Ryu Seung Beom, Song Il Guk, Kim Myung Min, Ko Hyun Jung, Shin Ha Kyun, Song Joong Ki, Kim Nam Gil, and Nam Gung Min have won the "Korea PD Awards" actor award.

Among them, Jun Ho became the first idol to win the award, making headlines.

In the drama "The Red Sleeve" which ended in January this year, Jun Ho perfectly played the role of Lee San and was recognized for his excellent talent as an actor.

He performed his lines with an attractive voice that captivated his ears and showed a desperate romance through delicate emotional acting.

Jun Ho, who properly impressed himself as a talented actor, received love calls in works, entertainment shows, and advertisements after "The Red Sleeve",

Meanwhile, Jun Ho debuted as a singer in 2008 through the boy band 2PM.

Jun Ho, who made fans excited by showing off his outstanding singing and dancing skills even when he was a singer, is now considered an "actor who can do everything" by proving his acting skills.

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!
