• 4 Female Stars Who Rebuilt Their Careers Following Serious Scandals

    Unfortunately, because they were embroiled in a scandal, these Korean celebrities struggled to find a way to hide.

    For a long time, these celebrities avoided attending events and rarely posted on social media. As a result, their return always draws a lot of attention.

    Several of them made a strong impression in it due to their spectacular comeback.

    Song Jia

    Although she is not a Korean idol, Song Jia (also known as FreeZia) is a well-known and popular figure. Her recent return continues to garner attention, despite the numerous criticisms she has received for allegedly using counterfeit goods.

    In May of last year, Song Jia volunteered again. In June, Song Jia's series of "comeback" photos received numerous compliments from netizens. After the event, it is widely known that the famous model and YouTuber has lost quite a bit of weight.

    The 26-year-old woman stands out for her lean, toned abdominal muscles and lack of excess fat. In addition, the facial contours are becoming increasingly elegant and harmonious.

    Before Song Jia's luxurious style and error-correcting personality, people "turned the car" immediately.

    IU

    IU, also known as the "national little sister," has a large fan base both inside and outside of South Korea.

    Her career has experienced many ups and downs after many years in the industry, despite being extremely successful. The release of the album containing track number 23 is regarded as one of IU's biggest scandals.

    In particular, in 2015, people noticed the similarities between the songs 23 and Gimme More by Britney Spears.

    IU received "stones" from the audience despite the fact that she played only the role of lyricist and did not participate in the production. Later, she issued a public apology.

    Seo Ye Ji

    After starring as the female lead in "It's Okay Not to Be Okay," Seo Ye Ji became a well-liked public figure.

    However, when she was at the height of her fame, she faced a number of controversies. Then she chooses to remain hidden for a moment.

    After a year of silence, Seo Ye Ji officially announced her return with the female lead role in the new drama "Eve."

    Seo Ye Ji did not reclaim her position until after the first episodes aired. Her visuals have significantly improved, and her acting has left a lasting impression on the audience.

    Red Velvet's Irene

    Irene also had difficulty due to a string of "unfortunate" scandals. On October 22, 2020, Irene was accused of being rude and disrespectful.

    The public was then made aware of the controversies surrounding Red Velvet's eldest sister. After only a few hours, Irene expressed her regret.

    Despite receiving severe criticism, Irene's reputation was quickly restored. In her recent comeback with the song "Feel My Rhythm," the female idol's magnificent and regal appearance caused a frenzy. Red Velvet's monumental comeback aids in the gradual forgetting of past controversy.

    Experiencing a difficult time because of the scandal, Korean beauties have successfully revived their careers. In a tight time, they gradually improve themselves from appearance and personality.

  • 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!
