K-pop girl group Brave Girls (Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, Yuna) has announced the release of a new song, "Goodbye," amidst rumors of disbandment. According to the results of a music review released on February 15th on the KBS official website, Brave Girls will be releasing the new song.

The song was written and composed by Brave Brothers, the head of the group's agency, Brave Entertainment.

The heart-wrenching title, "Goodbye," suggests that the group's recent disbandment rumors may have some truth to them.

Brave Girls is nearing the end of their contract this month, but Brave Entertainment has not released any official statement on the matter.

Brave Girls, who debuted in 2016 as the second generation of the group, celebrated their 7th anniversary this year.

Their song "Rollin'" released in March 2017 gained renewed popularity after a fan-made YouTube video went viral, resulting in the song topping music charts four years after its initial release.

However, the group has not achieved the same level of success with their subsequent releases.

With their solo concert indefinitely postponed, fans are paying close attention to the group's next move. Despite the rumors, the announcement of a new song gives fans hope that the group may not be disbanding after all.

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!
