• LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eunchae draws attention for her uncanny resemblance to Red Velvet's Joy and Yeri

    Even though the worlds of K-Pop seem to be very different, they sometimes mix in the best ways.

    Well, recently, netizens have noticed an idol who looks like both Joy and Yeri of Red Velvet. That idol is Hong Eunchae of LE SSERAFIM.

    Netizens recently posted photos of the idol on a forum, and it is clear that there is a similarity. Hong Eunchae has some of the same traits as both Joy and Yeri. From far away, it can be hard to tell who is in the pictures.

    Fans seemed to be especially confused by three photos of the stars wearing masks. Their eyes and faces almost look the same in all three photos.

    When the photos came out, Korean netizens couldn't get over how much the three stars looked alike. Most of them saw a striking similarity, but they pointed out how much Hong Eunchae and Yeri were alike.

    In response, netizens were surprised at how much she looked like Red Velvet members Joy and Yeri.

    Netizens commented:

    On a cell phone camera of Eunchae, she looks like them.

    Since Eunchae gives off the same vibes as NewJeans, she would fit in well with them. But she is also perfect for LE SSERAFIM.

    I like Yeri and Joy, Eunchae and Yunjin are my top choices in LE SSERAFIM. They have the same feel.

    I understand what you mean. She's pretty as hell.

    70% Yeri and 30% Kim Sook.

    She looks like the very definition of a maknae, so she's cute.

  • 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!
