• Actress Seo Hyun Jin on the "Unexpected Benefit" of Losing Weight

    The actress revealed the reason for her sudden weight loss.

    On July 22nd, Seo Hyun Jin revealed behind-the-scenes footage from the SBS drama "Why Her" on the YouTube channel Allure Korea.

    On this particular day, Seo Hyun Jin asked the head stylist, "What was the most challenging aspect of this shoot?".

    The head stylist responded, "Hyunjin lost a significant amount of weight during filming, so I had to change her size."

    Recent weight loss by Seo Hyun Jin has garnered much attention. The change in Seo Hyun Jin's body shape made it difficult for the stylist she worked with to find clothing that fit her.

    However, Seo Hyun Jin stated, "It was not intentional, but it was a change that fit the script exceptionally well." In the drama, Seo Hyun Jin plays Oh Soo Jae, a ruthless attorney who only pursues success in order to survive.

    She recalled the filming period by saying, "There was a line in the script that said, 'Look, she's lost her face'."

    She continued, "As I went back, there were numerous emotional scenes, as well as numerous scenes that drained my strength."

    She continued, "I believe I lost weight because I stayed up all night eating healthy foods."

  • 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!
