• Netizens defend Jang Won Young against hate posts saying that she is manipulative to all other IVE members

    Gaeul and Wonyoung who romantically selected

    IVE's content required them to divide 3 by 3. They chose groups to take the canoe or the cable car.

    At first, she was picked for the canoeing team, but it was clear from the way she looked that she didn't like it.


    Liz then said she wanted to try canoeing, but she quickly took it away and changed her mind.

    But are we really going in the water for the canoeing?
    *depressed*


    Yujin, on the other hand, said that the teams were the same as before, so they should switch teams again.


    So the staff walked in and were again startled and shook.


    She watched as the staff moved around and chose the person she wanted right away.

    "But I actually want to try something romantic"
    "Huh? Then swap with me"
    "Ahn PD team VS Gaeul writer team"
    *Eyes shaking*
    *the youth feeling anxious premonition*


    In the end, she chose the cable car, which was the one she liked best.


    And when she picked it up, she said things like "I'm trusting my fate" and other such things.

    Other netizens then commented:

    *the youth feeling anxious premonition*
    "I'm going to trust my fate"

    I don't think she's trying to trick people. I think she just wants to be in charge. When things don't go her way, she will avoid them like the plague. She probably doesn't want to canoe because it might get her hair wet or mess up her makeup. Or she might not have wanted to do it that day… But it's not like she's whining or making Liz do it. She just seems to want to be in charge, so it's a bit harsh to call her manipulative.

    I watched because I was interested. But Liz said "I want to do that romantic thing," so Wonyoung said, "Huh? Then let's switch with me," she said. Liz asked, "Can we switch?"" "If we can change, let's change," said Wonyoung. "How about this?" "I want to take the canoe," Liz said to the staff. "Then you guys can change," said the staff. Liz and Wonyoung were holding each other's paddles, but it didn't last more than a second before they switched. Wonyoung: "Thank you Liz-yah!" Liz: "I wanted to go canoeing." What's wrong with that?

    But she only wants to do things that are easy and make her look good while she does them, which is making her less likeable. She wants to be treated like a princess, and it's so clear

    You're trying too hard to hide your low self-esteem in this post.

    She doesn't try to trick people; she just does what's best for herself.

    "I'm going to trust my fate"
    *noisy*

  • 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!
