Actor Kim Jun Han collaborates with Suzy in 'Anna'.

Coupang Play series 'Anna', which will be released on June 24th, is a drama depicting the story of a woman who started living a completely different life from a small lie.

'Anna' is Suzy's first solo lead role in a drama, and Kim Jun Han takes on the role of Ji Hoon, Suzy's husband. Ji Hoon is the representative of a promising venture company that was self-made at a young age.

He is a person who has extraordinary ambitions and pursues a goal-oriented life. He chooses to marry Anna (Suzy), who has similar aspects to him, without love.

In the published wedding photos, Jihoon and Anna are standing side by side with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Kim Jun Han explained about his role, "I went through a lot of trouble to three-dimensionally express the ironic and enigmatic side of Ji Hoon."

He then raised curiosity about their acting synergy by saying, "We got along so well with each other," about the other actor's Suzy.

In the play, Kim Jun Han is going to heighten the tension by driving Anna with ruthlessness that does not choose any means or method to realize his desire. 

'Anna' will be released through Coupang Play every Friday at 8 pm starting on June 24th.

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!
