Many people were critical of the actor's performance.

Kim Young Dae transformed from an unknown actor to a rookie sought after by many producers following the "Penthouse" fever.

At the moment, "Penthouse's son" has made an official comeback in the series "Shooting Star", co-starring with famous senior Lee Sung Kyung.

Despite only having two episodes, "Shooting Star" has gotten a lot of favorable feedback for Lee Seung Kyung's visuals, dress, and performance. Kim Young Dae, on the other hand, disappointed the viewers with his performance.

Having been criticized for his acting from the "Penthouse" era to "Shooting Star," his performance isn't much improved, with many segments retaining minor indications of his previous role.

There have been numerous unfavorable comments on this performance, the majority of which are negative.

Audience comments:

• The acting is like Penthouse, it's boring
• His performance seems dull in comparison to Lee Sung Kyung.
• Just trying to act cool and trendy, but it's all wrong; this man has to learn more about acting; why is he in such a rush to take on the role?
• The screaming scenes look weird, like the ones in Penthouse that you can't get out of, while the typical parts are simply plain boring.

"Shooting Star" is a new romantic comedy about those who work in the entertainment industry and "clean up garbage" for musicians.

Lee Sung Kyung will play Oh Han Byul, the PR team chief at an entertainment company, and Kim Young Dae will play her enemy, A-list star Gong Tae Sung.

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!
