• SEVENTEEN's DK And Joshua Touches Fans’ Hearts With Their Kind Actions Towards NewJeans at the “37th Golden Disc Awards”

    One of the first big award shows for K-Pop idols in 2023 was the "37th Golden Disc Awards". J-Hope from BTS, TREASURE, LE SSERAFIM, Stray Kids, (G)-IDLE, IVE, and many more stars were at the show.

    One of the many winners that night was the new group NewJeans, whose single "Attention" won the award for "Best Digital Song (Bonsang)."

    The win was a special moment for the group and their fans, but there was also a funny thing that happened with DK and Joshua from SEVENTEEN at the same time.

    DK and Joshua were in the foreground when the award winner was announced and the live broadcast cut to a shot of the members of NewJeans.

    The two wanted to give their favorite junior group a standing ovation, but they had to get back to their seats quickly.

    One Netizen said, "When NewJeans won, DK tried to give them a standing ovation, but he quickly sat back down so he wouldn't block the camera. That's so f*cking cute and polite."

    The video of the moment quickly went viral, and people on the internet praised DK and Joshua for how kind and gentlemanly they were, but also laughed at their facial expressions and sharp responses.

    In just three hours, the video was watched more than 200,000 times.

    Even during an award show, the members of SEVENTEEN were aware of their surroundings. This shows that they are the most professional people in the world!

  • 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!
