Actor Son Seok Koo, who reached his heyday with the movies 'The Roundup' and JTBC's 'My Liberation Notes', is very popular.

Son Seok Koo captured the public eye by exuding different charms to the extent that it is hard to believe that they are the same person in both works.

Son Seok Koo, who played the villain in 'The Roundup', was the end of 'Scary Sexy', and 'Tsundere' itself in 'My Liberation Notes'.

In the midst of applause pouring in for Son Seok Koo's acting ability with high suction power, the fact that he even sang well was re-examined and became 'popular'. 

In 2020, Son Seok Koo performed live on KBS Cool FM's 'Raise the volume of Hanna Kang'.

Son Seok Koo selected the famous song 'Around Thirty' left by the late Kim Gwang Seok and sang quietly without accompaniment.

There was no special technique, but Son Seok Koo's tone, which was comfortable to listen to, made my eyes close.

DJ Kang Na Na was also mesmerized by Son Seok Koo's voice, which perfectly matched Kim Kwang Seok's lyrics, and listened with her hands together.

Netizens who saw Son Seok Koo's version of 'Around Thirty' responded enthusiastically, such as "What's the thing you can't do?" and "It's a voice you wanted to keep hearing."

Meanwhile, 'The Roundup' starring Son Seok Koo has surpassed 6.5 million viewers for the first time this year, continuing its unparalleled box office dominance.

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!
