As a fan of Lee Juck, Ji Chang Wook made a surprise cameo on "Immortal Songs".

On June 11th, KBS 2TV's "Immortal Songs" aired the "Lee Juck" episode, in which Ji Chang Wook featured.

Lee Juck had no idea Ji Chang Wook had entered the stage that day. Lee Juck leaped out of his chair in disbelief when Ji Chang Wook showed up out of the blue.

There were other artists in the waiting area who were astounded by Kim Joon Hyun's very lengthy legs. Astonished, they exclaimed, when Ji Chang Wook performed "Laundry".

When the song concluded, Ji Chang Wook, who had dazzled the audience with his powerful vocals, grinned shyly. Lee Chan Won complimented him on his good looks and said, "Don't smile!"

"I'm an admirer of Lee Juck," Ji Chang Wook admitted. "For me, he's the best artist working today. As a huge admirer, I've listened to all of his songs and even read the fairy tale book he wrote. I was asked, but I had to decline because of conflicting commitments. Ultimately, I made there on time and appeared in this manner on the show because I truly desired to do so".

That's why he almost kissed Shin Dong Yup: "He's so attractive up close".

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!
