• Netizens found AKMU's Chanhyuk "head shaving performance" interesting and acknowledged him as a unique artist

    Netizens are talking about how AKMU's Chanhyuk shaved his head on stage.

    On the most recent episode of "Inkigayo," a member of AKMU sang his solo song "Panorama" while his head was being shaved live on stage.

    Chanhyuk later said that the performance was about rebirth, just like the story of the first song on his album, "Eyewitness Account."

    On online community discussion boards, netizens talked about his style of performance and gave their thoughts on how good they thought his art was.

    Almost everyone agreed that this is more "performance art" and that the focus is on his freedom to express himself.

    Some people praised Chanhyuk for being brave and creative, but others said that he should "saved this level of personal performance for something like a solo concert."

    Most people on the Internet thought his performance was interesting and said he was a unique artist.

    Reactions include:

    People do it on stage, so I don't see why this is a problem.

    Wow, he really is a talented artist.

    We also need artists like him. We're so sick of doing the same old things.

    I'm for him.

    I thought the way the song was played went well with the performance.

    It seemed like I was watching a show from Hollywood.

    I can't believe this is a domestic TV show.

    I think it's a little too extreme.

    I don't like it by my own standards lol. I don't think the general consensus that it's okay because he's not hurting anyone applies here lol. People are too easily swayed either way.

    What are your thoughts?

  • 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!
