    (G)I-DLE is getting ready to come back with a brand new concept, and fans love every single teaser that the girl group has put out so far.

    For their album "I Love", which will come out later this month, (G)I-DLE put out some bold, retro teaser photos that show off their charms and charisma. In this set of concept photos, the members show off their sensuality even more.

    On the same day, a netizen posted some photos of the concept and said how great it was for the girl group.

    The netizen who created the online post explained, "I thought this was the best concept photo (G)I-DLE had ever made. What's going on with my heart?".

    Other netizens quickly responded with comments and expressed their excitement such as:

    I can't tell you how excited I am about this!!!!!

    Is that a Marilyn Monroe concept?

    Jeon So-yeon seriously ate this concept up.

    Minnie seriously looks like a Barbie doll with that hair.

    She looks like someone who lived in that generation. It looks like a beauty's picture taken in 1950 restored.

    Shuhua really dyed her hair???? For real???? I saw a few interviews of her saying she won't dye her hair, anyways, she's so pretty

    Seeing the styling like that, Yuqi and Shuhua really look alike. Not lookalikes, but Shuhua has Yuqi's vibe.

    They're always legendary everytime.

    No but what's up with Jeon So-yeon's ability to pull off concepts? For real, she reminds me of Monroe..

    Wow their visuals are insane.

    Just when in the world is this dropping!!!?

    Wow how did they pick such good pictures? I know exactly what they're trying to express. The vibe is daebak.

    Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE will return with the 5th mini-album "I Love" on October 17 at 6 PM KST. How are you liking their comeback concept?

  • 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!
