Even though NewJeans just came out a month ago, they are already making a big splash.

Not only do they have Min Hee Jin in their name, but they have also shown off members like Minji, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, and last but not least, Hanni, who are all talented and beautiful.

Not only that, but it looks like she was born beautiful. Considering how young she is, that could be a given.

But Hanni's natural beauty shines through even when she doesn't look her best. Her pictures from before her debut were posted on an online community.

On August 19, a post about Hanni began trending on Instiz's community board the title, "Hul It looks like this was Hanni's NewJeans audition video".

The netizen who posted wrote, "This was her before she started her career, and she was already gorgeous. I bet the audition team gave her a standing ovation. Here it is…! When I saw the ELLE interview, I found out about this".

Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

We can't wait to find out what NewJeans and Hanni have in store for us! Congratulations on your debut.

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!
