Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon couldn't properly check the KakaoTalk group room, so she appeared alone at the press conference wearing a pink outfit.

On August 5th, a press conference was held to commemorate the release of Girls' Generation's 7th regular album "FOREVER 1" at InterContinental COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Hyoyeon drew attention as she was wearing a pink setup alone.

The other members came out wearing black or white clothes.

Hyoyeon confessed that she did not fully understand the concept of the costume.

Sooyoung clearly revealed that she had previously announced in the KakaoTalk group room that the concept of the outfit was black and white.

Sooyoung added, "I clearly conveyed that the dress code is not pink, but Hyoyeon didn't read it properly".

The scene soon became filled with laughter as SNSD members started to accuse Hyoyeon of not properly checking messages in their chatroom.

Meanwhile, Girls' Generation will release "FOREVER 1" at 6 pm on the 5th.

In the title song of the same name of "FOREVER 1", which Girls' Generation released as a whole after 5 years, you can hear the members' unique cool singing.

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!
