Season 2 of the drama "Yumi's Cells," which has been loved by many people, will be next to us this summer.

On April 26, Tving officially announced that "Yumi's Cells Season 2" will be released in June.

In addition, a teaser poster for "Yumi's Cells Season 2" was introduced to announce the pink return of Yumi (Kim Go Eun). 

There were phrases that amplified expectations, such as "The Second Story of Yumi and Cells," "Yumi is Back," and "Cell Stimulation Empathy Romance," all over the poster.

In particular, Yumi's mature visuals with long hair caught the eye after saying goodbye to her trademark bobbed hair.

Yumi showed off her beautiful appearance by wearing long hair.

On top of that, it was also interesting to see the existence of the writer's cells that launched along with Yumi's prime cells (cells representing people).

The love cell of the center of the still-brilliant and lovely cell village, the writer cell where Yumi will develop her dream that she has folded for a while, and the appearance of Yumi smiling brightly between the two cells further raised questions about the second story of "Yumi's cells."

In "Yumi's Cells Season 2," Kim Go Eun's trustworthy performance, which maximizes the character's charm and completes the "real-life version of Yumi," continues.

In the last season, Yumi, an ordinary office worker, grew up through dating and parting with Koo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun), and she was encouraged by her co-worker Bobby (Jin Young) to try new things. 

In the second season, the story of Yumi and cells on the border of dream and love is expected to be depicted.

Meanwhile, Yumi's Cells, which were released simultaneously on TVing and tvN in September last year, drew great attention by portraying Yumi's story of eating, loving, and growing with cells in a pleasant and realistic manner.

The combination of live-action and 3D animation, which was attempted for the first time in Korea, received favorable reviews not only for upgrading the charm of the original webtoon but also for making use of reality.

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!
