IVE Jang Won Young has become a hot topic because of the comments she received on some of her solo advertisements.

On September 15, a critical post about Jang Won Young began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “INNISFREE, WHO FAILED AFTER HIRING MODEL JANG WONYOUNG“.

The netizen who posted said, "A major subsidiary, Innisfree, had sales of KRW 71.8 billion, which was 19.3% less than the same time last year“.

In addition, the netizen said, "It also had an operating profit of KRW 3.4 billion, which was 64.2% less than the same time last year. Amorepacific said, "We focused on growing high-functioning products like black tea and cica ingredients, but overall sales and operating profit fell because sales from duty-free channels fell"

The netizen then stated, "When they switched their model from Yoona to Jang Wonyoung, Innisfree stopped being popular. If you want to know why Jang Wonyoung's looks are bad, then you should ask how she can make a whole company fail."

Finally, the netizen said, "Let's compare the CF scenes of Yonna and Jang Wonyong."

The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

(Don't feed the troll) You're referencing an article from the first part of the year, when Jang Wonyoung became a model in the second half. And the fallout from Corona touched the entire world. Even China's sales have decreased, as reported in the media.

Why should a company's profits be blamed on the model? zz; because everyone now buys Olive Young products, other beauty salons have had poor outcomes.

Even though, Jang Wonyoung is now shooting ten solo CFs? Just attempt to hate on her; we won't be upset.

While you have an inferiority feeling over Pann, Jang Wonyoung is shooting Cfs and enjoying her virtuous life.

We are not insulted.

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!
