"People feel sorry for me…"

Lee Seung Gi recently talked about his new hairstyle, which is short.

At the 2022 KBS Drama Awards on December 31, Lee Seung Gi turned heads when he showed up with his head shaved.

Lee Seung Gi is in a legal battle with his former agency, HOOK Entertainment, and it was thought that he had cut his hair because of this.

When Lee Seung Gi was called to the stage to accept his "Best Couple Award," he was quick to address the rumors.

Lee Seung Gi said why he cut his hair during his acceptance speech.

"Before I give my speech of thanks, I'd like to tell you quickly why I cut my hair. Many people are making assumptions (I cut my hair) because of how they feel. I am making a movie right now. I'm a monk in the play." - Lee Seung Gi

Lee Seung Gi then said that his new hairstyle had nothing to do with what he was going through at the moment. He shut down all rumors.

"I hope you don't get the wrong idea. People look at me with pity, which I don't think is fair." - Lee Seung Gi
Lee Seung Gi ended his speech by giving HOOK Entertainment a warning by saying that the star had "plans to promote (as an artist) and plans to fight" in 2023. (HOOK Entertainment). Since you already know, I won't say anything else."

Lee Seung Gi is in a legal battle with HOOK Entertainment, which was his home for a long time.

When it came out that the CEO of the agency, Kwon Jin Young, had stolen millions of dollars from the star and lied to him to make him think he wasn't a good singer, the fight began.

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!
