• Stray Kids Jokingly Teased JYP Entertainment Founder J.Y. Park During Manic World Tour Concert in Australia

    Wasn't that funny?


    Stray Kids from JYP Entertainment are currently on the latest leg of their Manic world tour, where they are putting on shows for their fans. Their most recent shows were in Australia, where Bang Chan and Felix live.

    As expected, the group's first night of concerts went well, and their performances impressed their fans.

    During the show, the group also got a lot of attention for making fun of JYP Entertainment founder J.Y. Park.

    First, while the group was performing, Bang Chan and Han took a dance break and did the steps from "Groove Back," J.Y. Park's most recent song.

    This was cute and funny, but later in the show, they took the playful roasting a step further. I.N danced to NewJeans song "Hype Boy" in the style of JYP after being told to do so.

    J.Y. Park went viral in November 2020 when he danced to "Hype Boy" to promote "Groove Back."

    People on the Internet were impressed by his dance moves, even though he said he only had a short time to learn the steps.

    Fans thought the playful roasting was right on, and even posted a side-by-side comparison.

  • 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!
