The lively whale CG in the ENA drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" was reportedly created using a paper model.

Paper artist Seoyoung posted on her Twitter on the 30th of last month, "People in the world, the model I made came out on TV. It's on 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'".

Then, on the 6th and 7th of July, when episodes 3 and 4 of ENA's "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" aired, Seoyoung posted an Instagram photo of a paper model whale she had created.

By adding the caption to the photo of the blue whale artwork, she expressed his affection "I was looking forward to its release date, but I had no idea it would be today. This is my "favorite" blue whale".

Seoyoung also described the work's specifics, saying, "The stripes on that ship each have their own points."

In addition, she posted a picture of the dolphin's work, exuding excitedly, "Did you see a dolphin on today's broadcast?"

In this drama, the main character, Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin), is depicted as a "whale enthusiast" who knows the species and characteristics of whales in order. Therefore, whale center of gravity is also a significant factor.

When it was revealed that the adorable whale CG in the play was actually created using paper art, many viewers were astounded.

In addition, netizens are expressing admiration for the paper artist Seoyoung's adorable whale artwork and requesting that it be produced as merchandise.

In the meantime, the ENA drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" surpassed the Nielsen Korea rating of 5.2% (based on paid households nation-wide) within two weeks of its premiere, demonstrating its continued popularity.

Audiences are extremely interested in the drama's leading actors and whale characters, as well as its various components.

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!
