• When K-Netizens condemn Chen for self-promotion under EXO, his international fanbase steps in to defend him

    On the tenth anniversary of his debut, EXO Chen shared his thoughts.

    At 11 a.m. on November 14th, Chen hosted a media conference for his third mini album, titled "Last Scene," online.

    When asked how he felt on the tenth anniversary of his debut, Chen replied, "A lot of these things have happened over the years."

    And then, with a grin, he recalled, "I remember the embarrassing encounter the first time I met the members."

    Chen later admitted, "Certainly, I desire to go to that time."

    He continued, "I'm curious about whether I will be clearly distinct from what I am now if I return to my debut and start over."

    At 6 o'clock that evening, Chen will release his new album in its entirety across multiple music streaming services.

    However, some of the netizens are upset and rushed in the comment section:

    Please leave

    I'm crying again, Jongdae-yah. Quit prefixing your name with "EXO."

    What's the status of his popularity, if any?

    Holy cow! I think he just upset both parties with that statement.

    I've liked EXO for a decade, but everything that anyone was trying to rely on has crumbled because of you. Don't bother coming back to us… Please, I beg you…

    It sounds like he's gunning for a group promotion.

    Is he implying that if he could change the past, he wouldn't want to become a parent so much as to keep pursuing his career as an idol?

    Don't rush to judgment….give it some more thought.

    I was taken aback by the headline and decided to check it out; seriously, this is ridiculous.

    For what possible reason would he make such a remark?

    Fans then quickly defended Chen and said:

    He only said he wants to go back to his debut days, but netizens are making it sound like something else. If you don't care about him as much as you say you do, please leave him alone.

    I would never understand what happened between him and knetz. Dude didn't do anything bad; he just took care of his family. Then he'll have to deal with stupid comments and insufficient support.

    All these women are mad at him because he found love and had children. Just because no one wants to carry your children doesn't mean you should take it out on him.

    If these knetz are still upset about jongdae getting married and having kids, they must have a bad love life.

  • 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!
