• Get To Know These 6 K-pop Idols Who Didn't Have Drivers License

    Under the current law, a driver's license can be obtained if you are over the age of 18.

    Therefore, many third-year high school students register for driver's license academies after the College Scholastic Ability Test.

    However, there are still stars who do not have a driver's license even though they are well over adulthood.

    From now on, six stars who are known as "hit song rich" and are likely to drive a "billion" sound supercar, but cannot drive will be introduced.

    Young Tak

    Trot singer Young Tak recently started challenging himself to get a driver's license for the first time in his life on Channel A's "Men's Life-Groom Class these days."

    Young Tak had not yet obtained a driver's license even though he made a big profit with the song "Jjiniya."

    Currently, he is widely known by appearing on various broadcasts.

    IU

    IU, who once pranked fans for getting a driver's license on April Fool's Day in 2020, is known to still not have a driver's license.

    Last year, she was surprised by mentioning that she did not know what type 1 and type 2 driver's license meant at the music video filming site of "Strawberry Moon."

    IU is set to release the movie "Broker" on June 8.

    WOOZI (SEVENTEEN)

    WOOZI, a "copyright rich" with more than 100 copyrighted songs, is also one of the stars without a driver's license.

    When he visited his hometown of Busan, he was surprised by confessing that he was going by train.

    SEVENTEEN, which includes WOOZI, will release "Face the Sun" on May 27.

    Young K (DAY6)

    Young K of DAY6, who made almost all of DAY6, also doesn't have a driver's license yet.

    He surprised fans by confessing that he did not have a license yet in MBC FM4U's "I'm Kim Shin-young, a song of hope at noon," in which he appeared just before joining the army.

    Currently, Young K has joined KATUSA and is fulfilling his national defense obligations.

    BTS RM

    RM, the leader of global idol group BTS, also has no driver's license.

    RM also said on V LIVE, which was held with fans in the past, that he was nervous at the thought of taking a driver's license test. 

    He also added that he was scared to drive. BTS, which includes RM, is scheduled to make a comeback on June 10 to meet fans.

    Jeon Soyeon ( (G)I-DLE)

    Jeon Soyeon, who has produced a number of title songs released by (G)I-DLE so far, is also one of the stars without a driver's license.

    Most of the members of (G)I-DLE, as well as Jeon Soyeon, do not have a driver's license. Mi Yeon is the only one among (G)I-DLE reportedly has a license.

    (G)I-DLE, which includes Jeon Soyeon, released "TOMBOY" in March and became very popular.

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
