Lee Hyori has become a hot topic because of former AOA member Jimin.

On September 15, news came out that Jimin would cover Lee Hyori's hit song "U-Go-Girl" on JTBC's "Another Universe". The reason for her choice is surprising netizens.

On the same day, a post about Lee Hyori began trending on Instiz's community board under the title, "Lee Hyori by AOA Jimin'S Side… A Story About How She Helped A Hoobae In Her Difficulat Times".

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "According to OSEN, Lee Hyori was the first person to message Jimin when she was going through her hardest time. Even though they didn't know each other before, Lee Hyori was sad for her hoobae and tried to help. Jimin dropped everything and flew to Jeju Island, where she lived with Lee Hyori and got back her strength".

Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with positive comments praising Lee Hyori for saving Jimin's life:

Wow… I knew that she didn't have a lot of close friends, but Lee Hyori reaching out to her first was such a sweet thing to do ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.

Wow, Lee Hyori is really cool.

Lee Hyori truly saved someone's life.

I hope that Jimin does well.

Even with Jimin's mistakes, Lee Hyori is by far the better person.

Putting aside the controversy, this action probably saved someone's life ㅎ..

Despite the positive comments, some netizens still have mixed reaction about Jimin receiving sympathy:

But…Why?

She has no reason to help her. Jimin has already become the bad guy in the entertainment business, and everyone knew it, right? Why wouldn't she just try to get in touch with her as someone who has been in a girl group before? If there are problems while promoting, it doesn't mean that one person has to be the aggressor and the other the victim.

Honestly, we could have ki*led someone. People did hurt her, that's true. People ganged up on her because they thought the other side was telling the truth. It's funny to see the general opinion suddenly change.

Huh…? But isn't Jimin the one who did this?

What are your thoughts on the post?

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!
