EXO Chen is drawing attention as he heralded his full-fledged activities after being discharged from the military.

On April 25, SM Entertainment released a post photo of the faces of singers appearing in the concert on the official Twitter account, along with the news of holding a performance of "SMTOWN LIVE 2022: SMCU EXPRESS @ TOKYO" at Tokyo Dome on August 27 and 28.

The released photos included a number of famous singers from SM Entertainment, including Kangta, BoA, Super Junior, and SHINee.

At this time, Chen, who stood side by side with EXO members Suho and Kai, caught the eye.

While much attention is being paid to Chen's future activities, who was discharged from the military on April 25, attention is focused on the news of Chen's participation in the SM Town concert, which is known for the first time since his discharge.

Chen is expected to quickly return to his singing career as soon as he is discharged from the military.

Fans are also cheering enthusiastically on Chen's news that he will resume his activities in earnest.

Netizens are raising expectations by suggesting that they are looking forward to Chen's performance on stage for the first time in a long time.

Meanwhile, Chen announced the news of pregnancy in January 2020 along with the news of his marriage to the general public and the news of his daughter in April of the same year.

Fans were surprised and congratulated when they heard the sudden news from Chen.

Later, Chen, who joined the army in October 2020, said he had a second daughter while serving in January this year.

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!
