Attention is being drawn to the older works of actor Kang Tae Oh, who appears in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo".

On 1 July, images of Kang Tae Oh from his previous roles in "The Tale of Nokdu" and "Running Man" were uploaded to the online community TheQoo.

Kang Tae Oh portrayed Cha Yool Moo in the 2019 broadcast of KBS2's "The Tale of Nokdu". Cha Yool Moo is a virtuous man who only looks at Dong Joo, the female protagonist (Kim So Hyun).

However, from Prince Neungyang, King Injo would emerge as the main antagonist.

Additionally, Kang Tae Oh performed a popping dance in "Running Man", which caused the audience to erupt in laughter.

Netizens who saw the actor Kang Tae Oh's past left comments such as "I immediately recognized him because he's clearly etched in my memory as Injo", "I liked his acting in 'Run On' other than that", and "It's a shame that he's joining the military soon".

In "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," Kang Tae Oh portrays Lee Joon Ho, a member of the legal team at the law firm Hanbada where Woo Young Woo works.

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!
