    Mino, the winner, read a letter from a young fan.

    On May 20th, Mino shared a photo on Instagram. Mino is seen holding a letter from a fan at her elementary school in one of his published photos.

    A handwritten letter from an elementary school fan wrote, “Hello? I got my first autograph today".

    "I saw it on 'I Live Alone,' thank you for the autograph; I'll look after it." The letters are well-written, with adorable character illustrations. Love for Mino is particularly noticeable in the heart paintings.

    In addition, "I'm Oppas's fan" and "Oppa is great" were written in the letter by elementary school fan.

    To this, Mino read the cute letter saying, "I'm excited too" and showed a heart-fluttering reaction.

    Meanwhile, Mino released his solo album "TO INFINITY" in December of last year. Mino, who was active in JTBC's "Singer Gain 2" and Mnet's "Show Me the Money 10", recently appeared on MBC's "I Live Alone" and revealed his daily life.

    At that time, Mino received a warm response by revealing his familiar daily life, such as drawing a picture using his excellent art sense in "I Live Alone" and going camping with Gian84.

  • 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!
