• Netizens Are Suspicious of Big Hit Music's Quick Response to RM's Marriage Rumors While Remaining Silent About V's Dating Rumors

    While Big Hit Music actively denied the dating rumors of BTS' RM, people's eyes are again on V.

    On June 24th, Big Hit Music, the agency of BTS, quickly released a statement when rumors spread through online communities that RM was about to marry a woman from a prestigious university.

    Big Hit Music said, "It is groundless, and we are continuously responding to malicious content".

    Thus, RM's dating and marriage rumors were closed.

    However, since then, the dating rumors of V, a member of the same group BTS as RM, are being re-examined among netizens.

    Big Hit Music immediately responded to RM's marriage rumors, but did not take any stance on V's dating rumors.

    In May, a photo of a man and woman presumed to be Jennie and V driving on Jeju Island was circulated online, leading to speculation that the two were on a trip to Jeju Island together, and even rumors of a dating relationship.

    In this regard, YG Entertainment, Jennie's agency, said, "We have nothing to tell you. If a different position emerges, We will pass it on to you".

    And Big Hit Music remained silent.

    Netizens are showing reactions such as "Is V and Jennie real dating?" and "For now, I'm on neutral gear".

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
