In "Yumi's Cells 2", actor and Block B member P.O. (Pyo Ji Hoon) makes a special appearance.

On June 20, still cuts from TVING's original series "Yumi's Cells 2" showed actors who will make a special appearance. One of them was Block B's P.O., who is now joining the Marine Corps and will serve there.

Episodes 7 and 8 of "Yumi's Cells 2," which will come out on July 1, will continue to show Yumi (Kim Go Eun) and Babi's (Got7's Jinyoung) relationship and Yumi's struggle to become a writer, which is her dream. At the same time, there will be new characters who will stir things up in the cell village.

P.O plays the part of the artist Control Z, whose smile can make people angry. But he can quickly win people over with his unique charm and friendliness.

Control Z had long hair in the original webcomic. In the still cut, P.O. gets people's attention by saying that he is 100% in sync with his long, wavy-haired webtoon counterpart.

Shin Ye Eun and Jeon Seok Ho will also make guest appearances in "Yumi's Cells 2," along with P.O. Shin Ye Eun plays Yoo Da Eun, an intern at Babi's company, and Jeon Seok Ho plays Ahn Dae Yong, the editor-in-chief of Yumi's books.

On July 1, at 4 p.m. KST, new episodes of "Yumi's Cells 2" will air on TVING, with these new characters.

P.O., on the other hand, joined the Marine Corps on March 28. P.O was in the musical "Playback", on the talk show "Amazing Saturday" on tvN, and he finished filming his parts for "Yumi's Cells 2" before he went into the military.

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!
