Lee Na Eun, a former member of the group April, made a new nest in Namoo Actors.

According to the Herald POP report on June 2nd, Namoo Actors announced the news of an exclusive contract with Na Eun.

As a result, Na Eun became family with Yu Jun Sang, Lee Jun Ki, Park Eun Bin, Koo Gwa Wan, and Seo Hyun.

Previously, it was rumored that Na Eun had contacted Namoo Actors in April to become an actress. However, Namoo Actons side said, "It is true that I had a meeting with Na Eun, but nothing has been decided regarding her exclusive contract." 

However, recently, Kim Jong Do, CEO of Namoo Actors, followed Lee Na Eun's SNS account, and the transfer rumors were once again raised.

A transfer was confirmed a few days after the transfer rumors surfaced. 

Meanwhile, Na Eun debuted in April 2015. Since then, she has appeared in the web drama 'A-Teen' series and the MBC drama 'Extraordinary You', and received favorable reviews. 

However, last year, Lee Hyun Joo, a former member of April, was engulfed in controversy when rumors of bullying were raised. In the end, April officially disbanded in January. 

At the time, April's agency DSP Media said, "After a long discussion and deliberation, we and the members have decided to disband the team and go their separate ways." 

Currently, the former members of April disbanded without renewing their contract with DSP and are walking their separate ways.

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!
