Most people think that if you want to be an idol, you have to look and act a certain way at all times. For many people, idols are the best examples of what it means to be a role model, and it can feel like they are made to be a certain way to do that.

Most people want their idols to be perfect, and LE SSERAFIM’s Hong Eunchae does that every day.

On October 17, a post about Hong Eunchae began trending on Nate's community board under the title, "LE SSERAFIM DID WELL BY PUTTING IN EUNCHAE".

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Since there is a big age difference between the maknae and the unnies, they all take care of Eunchae. Eunchae herself is super bright and confident, she's straight up a maknae".

The netizen added, "She's also influencing the team's atmosphere positively. The picture is so cute so I'm putting it here".

Recently, when LE SSERAFIM had a fan meeting for their "ANTIFRAGILE" album release, that was on perfect display.

As soon as the members went out to meet their fans, they showed how playful they could be. Eunchae, in particular, was seen having a lot of fun and shining with her charming and playful personality.

People on online communities couldn't get over how playful Eunchae was and how she could still have fun and let her hair down even though she was one of the newest idols.

Many even liked that other people seemed to want to try, but when they saw Eunchae's huge amount of energy, they gave up.

Other netizens quickly responded with comments and shared their opinions about Hong Eunchae, such as:

I agree, that's true. It's such a cute picture.

They need Eunchae for sure.

She fits in perfectly with how the team works.

In fact, she looked even younger and brighter.

Seeing the promotion this time, she's really a good dancerㅋㅋㅋ I was surprised by how much power she has, and her voice is also very appealing. I'm excited to see how much she can get better over time.

She is a true maknae, and her nickname, Manchae, fits her perfectly.

Eunchae is a gift from God… The baby is so adorable and bright.

She is so sure of herself and full of life, and she is also very bright.

The picture is just too cute. She is the brightest of the bright.

She wasn't part of the debut unit?
> She was the last person to join, and if LE SSERAFIM's project didn't go well, she might not have made it to the debut unit.

What are your thoughts?

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!
