• Netizens get in a heated debate over a moment between LE SSERAFIM's Sakura and Chaewon at 2022 KCON

    There are rumors that Kim Chaewon and Sakura, who are both in the girl group LE SSERAFIM, fought on stage.

    On October 14, an article called "LE SSERAFIM Kim Chaewon and Sakura's fight" was posted on Nate Pann.

    The article showed a scene of members of LE SSERAFIM accepting the Rookie of the Year award at the 2022 The Fact Music Awards, which were held at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium (KSPO DOME) on October 8.

    The person who posted this said that Kim Chaewon pushed Sakura with her shoulder after Sakura said what she thought at the awards ceremony.

    But when fans enlarged the video, they saw that Kim Chaewon and Sakura's shoulders never even touched. The uploaded video was also sped up, which added to the confusion.

    When other Netizens saw the article, they said:

    The LE SSERAFIM members are close to each other.

    This guy sped up the video on purpose and posted it. That's playing dirty.

    You think they would do that at a ceremony to give out awards?

    On the other hand, LE SSERAFIM will release their second mini-album, "Antifragile," at 6 p.m. on October 17th.

  • 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!
