Netizens thought Lee Min Ho's foreign language ability was unrealistic at the same time.

Recently, an interview footage of Lee Min Ho and Kim Min Ha promoting the series Pachinko became viral on social networking platforms. The ability of the two main actors in the film to "shoot" in English has piqued the interest of netizens.

While Kim Min Ha consistently impresses by answering interview questions in English clearly and easily, like a native, netizens shake their heads in distaste whenever Lee Min Ho's turn comes up.

In the footage, Lee Min Ho's English speech is regarded clumsy and imprecise. With simple queries, the gorgeous actor had to seek the assistance of an interpreter.

This appears to irritate viewers because Lee Min Ho is one of Korea's top performers with a sizable film income. As a result, one of the skills that this actor needs to improve is his knowledge of a foreign language.

However, this is not the first time Lee Min Ho has been criticized for his command of a foreign language. Lee Min Ho's ability to "shoot" in English with his traditional Korean-lish standard as seen in the series "Legend of the Blue Sea" in conjunction with Jun Ji Hyun impressed fans.

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!
