The story of a foreign fan who met Jungkook, a member of the boy group BTS, quickly went viral on the internet.

On May 27th, a Thai BTS fan posted a story of Jungkook's sighting on her SNS.

Jungkook was seen that day at the Seoul Jazz Festival. Thai supporters were seated far away from the stage, listening to the music.

A man sitting behind her was humming along to a song from the stage at the time, but he sang so well that she turned her head and glanced at him.

Thai fans knew at a glance that it was BTS Jungkook. Still, she checked the location of Jungkook's lip piercing by asking the friend next to her. The friend also looked back and was convinced by the tattoo on Jungkook's hand.

The fan said that she waited for Jungkook to get up before approaching him for an autograph to avoid interfering with his enjoyment of the festival. She also shared a photograph of Jungkook signing her tablet PC.

Domestic online community users who read this narrative reacted that it was more like a movie encounter in which she appreciated the voice she heard from behind and glanced, but the reaction was how likely it was to be Jungkook from BTS.

Furthermore, community members expressed envy, saying, "It's cool that he gets to enjoy daily life freely, and the fan who waits without interruption is cool", "That fan is cool too. Thanks to her, Jungkook was able to enjoy it well", "'I heard a hum with a beautiful voice and came back I saw that it was Jungkook. It's like a movie'", "Jungkook is friendly" and etc.

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!
