Netizens could also see how talented these girls were and gave them praise for how they kept getting better and better, such as:

ITZY are really all so good, and Yuna is just too cute.

ITZY are so good.. Yeji was daebak when she bent her waist during Dalla Dalla and did live moves at the same time. How is she able to breathe? Loco really did look like a lot of fun. I hope they will be able to do Loco at Hanyang.

This is a live performance at a college festival… Wow, ITZY's dancing is really intense, and they're such nice people.

ITZY are impressive and they're too good. I'm going to look for all of their lives.

In all honesty, this is crazy. Really, they are so good.

I became interested in them when I saw IU perform. They're really good.

Singers should be like this… They pay a lot of money to have these people at university festivals, and you're just going to lip sync? That's really not good…

Their dances are very intense. And they're doing it liveㄷㄷ.

They are dancing so hard that they might break their bodies… They're seriously so likable.

If you haven't already, watch their full shows below.

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!
