Yoo Jae Suk was uncomfortable with Ma Dong Seok's early morning call.

In the 164th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz'), which was broadcast on October 12, the filmmaker of 'Midas Hand' in Chungmuro, who hit the jackpot with the movie 'The Roundup' for the special feature of 'A Thousand Faces' CEO Jang Won-seok appeared as a guest.

Actor Ma Dong Seok also participated in the production of 'The Roundup'.

On this day, CEO Jang Won Seok said, "Ma Dong Seok is extremely passionate about making movies. He often texts me in the morning. If it's urgent, he calls me. It's an idea bank. I only think about movies for 26 hours. '"

However, Yoo Jae Suk, who heard this, did not have a very good expression. He said, "If the performance is good, it turns into a joke, but if the grades aren't good…"

Then, CEO Jang Won Seok explained, "It's not a bullying style. I'm not someone who gets annoyed because there is no answer. There are people like that, but senior Ma Dong-seok isn't like that. "The misunderstanding has been cleared up. If you send it at 4 or 5 in the morning, you don't check it right away. That's it."

CEO Jang Won Seok also drew attention by telling an anecdote that Ma Dong Seok said, "If you have a scenario meeting from the first episode, you act from start to finish."

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!
