The members of ITZY have been busy lately promoting the release of their upcoming EP, CHESHIRE, which will be out on November 30.

In the teasers that have been released so far, the girls look absolutely stunning. They give off an elegant and grown-up vibe that we wish to see in the title track of the album as well.

All the members have put out their solo teaser photos for the comeback so far, and they are perfect for the concept.

Fans have been talking a lot about Yeji's visuals, especially the bold bangs she wears in the teasers, which are causing a lot of buzz.

With such a feathery hat and kitty eye makeup, she looks just like the cat she is often compared to because of how she looks.

Her teasers have even inspired a post called "Yeji did f*cking well getting bangs" on a Korean online forum. The author just says, "It's perfect for her," and many of the comments agree with that.

"Yeji is at the top of her game"

"Her hair and make-up look just like mine… I hope to see people with hats and bangs on music shows."

"Freaking pretty".

"Please wear this bangs just once on music shows. It would be a shame to only use that perfect makeup and hair for photos".

"I'm glad that she has bangs now. Since her cover with Ryujin, I've loved them. I can't wait for the return. I think they're going back to the sound they had when they started".

"I see it more and more the more I look at Ragdoll cats".

There are some, however, who aren’t as big of a fan, not so much because of Yeji herself, but just because they don’t seem to like such dramatic bangs in general.

"I don't think she looks good with these bangs, they're too heavy for her."

"I think it looks a bit stuffy when idols have bangs like these."

"I hate to say this because Yeji is my QUEEN and she looks beautiful no matter what, but I don't think this looks good and she looks much better without them. To be fair, I hate this style of bangs in general and think they make everyone look bad, so maybe I'm not the most objective person for this."

Yeji has had bangs before. She and Ryujin both had them for their "MIX AND MAX" performance for Studio Choom in June.

No matter how you feel about bangs, but even so, we think Yeji's beauty shines through no matter how she's styled.

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!
