Wheein from 'The Oppa at the Tteokbokki House' honestly confesses her first impression of her best friend Hwasa.

Wheein, a member of Mamamoo and recently succeeded in standing alone as a solo singer, will appear on MBC Every1's entertainment program 'The Oppa at the Tteokbokki House', which will be aired on the 24th.

Mamamoo members Wheein and Hwasa are known to be best friends. It's never easy to get a lot of love while we're friends, having the same dream, and working together as a group.

At this, Wheein opens the door saying, “I’ve been friends with Hyejin (Hwasa) since middle school.” She continued, "When I first joined the class, I hated Hyejin. I thought, 'I never would be friends with her,'" she reveals, surprising her brothers.

I wonder why Wheein hated Hwasa when she was in middle school and how they became close and became Mamamoo together.

On the other hand, on that day, Wheein also recalls her trainee days with Hwasa. Wheein said, “Hyejin and I have been trainees for three and a half years. It was a lot of hard work, but I remember not having too much money. She lived on the allowance she received from her parents,” .

Afterward, Wheein surprised her older brothers by saying that she "never thought of giving up" and that she "thinks about how she's going to get through it."

On this day, Wheein also revealed the story of how she first dreamed of becoming a singer when she was in the 3rd grade of elementary school, and the memories of her grandmother who supported her dream of becoming a singer. Meanwhile, 'The Oppa at the Tteokbokki House' will be broadcast on May 24th at 8:30 PM.

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!
