Netizens were shocked to see TWICE's Jeongyeon in her recent Instagram photos.

After taking a break from activities owing to health worries, Jeongyeon, whose comeback sparked concern, disclosed her current health condition.

Previously, Jeongyeon, a member of Korea's premier girl group TWICE, was forced to postpone her activities on multiple occasions due to health issues. When she took a vacation from the entertainment industry due to a herniated disc in her neck and panic disorder, many fans missed her.

Lee Jin Ho, a former entertainment reporter and YouTuber, stated in 2021 that Jeongyeon gained weight because of the side effects of strong steroid medications.

Jeongyeon, who resumed her domestic activities with the release of TWICE's full-length album "SCIENTIST" on November 12, 2021, debuted with a complexion that was much darker than previously, prompting many fans to be concerned.

Since then, Jeongyeon appears to have exerted much effort to recover her health.

Jeongyeon recently revealed her current situation by posting multiple Instagram photos. In the published photos, Jeongyeon's slimmer appearance garnered attention.

In multiple photos, Jeongyeon, who wore a black suit and had short hair, has a petite face and beautiful features. In several instances, the female idol wore a black minidress and her slim legs and arms drew attention.

Jeongyeon's tennis coach uploaded a photo with good wishes on Instagram on January 8. "Let's play tennis for enjoyment in 2023," he said.

It appears that Jeongyeon has been maintaining her health through tennis and other sports.

Many fans were happy to see Jeongyeon looking much healthier and posted comments such as "I hope she never gets sick again" and "I want to see her in excellent health for a very long time."

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!
