The Korean entertainment industry has been buzzing with news of weddings and engagements of some of its biggest stars in recent years.

From Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon to Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, it seems like love is definitely in the air.

And with the recent announcements of Song Joong Ki and Lee Seung Gi's marriages, the K-drama world has been full of love and excitement.

However, one person who keeps getting mentioned in every piece of wedding news is actor Lee Min Ho.

He's been given the nickname "Cupid" due to the strange coincidence that every time he's close to someone or works with them, they end up getting married.

This includes Park Shin Hye, Son Ye Jin, and Lee Seung Gi, who all ended up tying the knot.

Not only is Lee Min Ho known for being friends with some of the most romantic K-drama couples, but he's also known for his hilarious reactions to their wedding announcements.

When Lee Seung Gi announced his marriage on February 7, Lee Min Ho commented, "What? Is this a situation where Lee Seung Gi sings 'Will You Marry Me?'," and Lee Seung Gi even asked him if he would be interested in rapping in a duet.

Fans have also been entertained by Lee Min Ho's reaction to Park Shin Hye's wedding, where he posted images from the event and had netizens laughing with his caption, "Do I like you?" which is a nod to a line from "The Heirs".

So, will Lee Min Ho be next to tie the knot? Only time will tell, but for now, he remains the Cupid of the Korean entertainment industry, spreading love and laughter wherever he goes.

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!
