Internet users who claim to have been sued by JTBC drama "Snowdrop" have appeared.

On April 6, on the online community Clian, 'JTBC was sued for strengthening the snow. I ask for your help,' a post was posted.

The author of the post, A, posted a capture of some of the links and contents of the posts he posted on the community in the past.

At that time, A posted an article titled "Strengthening the Lunar New Year, which is also hit by Dispatch."

A said, "I'm summoning you again after posting a message in favor of strengthening the Lunar New Year. Stargazing things, let alone reflection, stir up anger. NO JAPAN NO JTBC," he said, adding some articles from the entertainment media Dispatch.  

The Dispatch article contained voices criticizing "Snowdrop," which has been embroiled in controversy over history distortion.

A said, "I was sued by JTBC and Drama House in the above article," adding, "My contact information is said to have been found out by sending a seizure warrant to Cliang."

A then said, "I avoided direct mention of being careful, but it is ridiculous. I wonder if that is a cause for complaint.

"I ask for your advice on how to deal with it in the future," he added.

JTBC's "Snowdrop," which was embroiled in a controversy over history distortion earlier, announced a legal response to the spread of false information related to the drama. 

In a number of online communities, the full text of the e-mail sent by JTBC saying, "The request to stop the distribution of false information related to the strengthening of the drama was posted.

According to the full text of the mail, JTBC said, "In the early days of production, synopsis was leaked, malicious edits with a plot were circulated, and until now, public opinion is misleading by packaging clear false facts as if they were true."

In the meantime, JTBC warned, "We plan to respond strongly to groundless slander and fabrications that are not related to the setting of this drama, so please refer to it."

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!
