• Jo Bo Ah Left A Strong Remarks On The Abuses That Happens In Korean Military

    Actor Jo Bo Ah, who showed a passionate performance in the drama "Military Prosecutor Doberman" set in the military, hoped that the tragedy in the military would never happen again.

    On May 4, Kookmin Ilbo released an interview with Jo Bo Ah, who played the role of military prosecutor Cha Woo-in on tvN's "Military Prosecutor Doberman," which recently ended.

    The "military prosecutor Doberman" tells the story of Noh Hwa Young (Oh Yeon Soo), the commander of the Army Division, who commits vicious crimes to protect power, collapsing due to the performance of Cha Woo In and Do Bae Man (Ahn Bo Hyun).

    This gave a strong catharsis to viewers who watched the broadcast.

    In addition, in "Military Prosecutor Doberman," there was a scene in which a soldier who could not withstand the abuse of his appointment went on a shooting spree following abuse in the military and abuse of military officers. They all took the motif from the actual events.

    In this regard, Jo Bo Ah said, "I was surprised that the shooting occurred several times in the actual military."

    She then said, "I was angry while watching the scene where the senior abused his subordinate."

    Jo Bo Ah raised her voice that she hopes that the tragic tragedies in the military will no longer occur in the wake of the "military prosecutor Doberman."

    "There are things that can only happen if not only the military but also members of society are gathered," Jo Bo Ah, adding, "I hope this drama will improve (the problem caused by the relationship)."

    Jo Bo Ah also said she sought advice from Ahn and others about the military culture and terms she needed to know for the postponement of military prosecutors.

    Jo Bo Ah said, "While acting in a military uniform for seven months, I naturally got 'Danaka' in my way of speaking."

    Meanwhile, the last episode of "Military Prosecutor Doberman," starring Jo Bo Ah, recorded its highest ratings of 10.1% based on Nielsen Korea, achieving a successful end.

  • 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!
