• "Unbothered Queen" Jessie Pulls Off Successful Performance Despite Repeatedly Hit In The Face With Water At 2022 WATERBOMB

    Singer Jessie was shot in the face during the performance of "Water Bomb 2022".

    On June 30th, Jessie posted a video on her Instagram with a message, "When they wet your face… but you play it off with style and grace… ? still love you".

    The released video was part of the performance presented by Water Bomb Seoul 2022 held on the 25th.

    Jessie, wearing a red cropped top, shot a water gun in her face as she stepped onto the stage.

    Jessie frowned slightly at the sudden water gun, and as if embarrassed, the song could not continue smoothly.

    Soon, however, she successfully wrapped up the stage by pretending to be okay.

    Earlier, (G)I-DLE's Shuhua was also shot by the audience on the stage of "Water Bomb 2022".

    At that time, Shuhua was attacked with a water gun on her face and said on Naver V Live, "Who shoots water in my face? I really couldn’t see. I had contact lenses on, and when I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see for like thirty seconds. I told you guys not to go overboard. Let's not meet on the street", she said with anger.

    As the water gun attack continued on Jessie following Shuhua, the controversy over the stage manners of "Water Bomb" is emerging as a hot topic again.

    The music festival "Water Bomb" is a festival that combines water gun fights and music festivals, and the audience enjoys water gun fights together while watching the performances of their favorite artists.

    However, it was controversial as it was seen indiscriminately shooting water guns at artists on stage recently.

  • 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!
