Singer Hwanhee revealed behind-the-scenes stories about the filming of "We Got Married," where script controversies arose until the end of the show.

On the 26th, Hwanhee uploaded a video on his official YouTube channel titled "Hwanhee's We Got Married Reaction and Comment Reading."

In the video, Hwanhee said he would review the broadcast of "We Got Married," which he filmed with Park Hwa-yobi in 2008, as it has recently been appearing in shorts and other YouTube algorithm recommendations.

Hwanhee said, "Many people have said while watching the video, 'Isn't this going according to the script?' I think I'm probably in the top three of Korean entertainers who can't follow the script. I don't know what happened later, but at that time, there really was no script."

If Hwanhee had to describe the script he received at the time, it would have been something like "Today, the dog poop couple have a housewarming party." Hwanhee said that they didn't know what to do, so the camera just followed the two of them.

"It was almost like reality. We only appeared in a Chuseok special once, and after that, we became regulars because the viewers found us entertaining," he added, emphasizing that "We Got Married" was the best among the broadcasts that were done without a script.

"We Got Married" has been surrounded by numerous script controversies even after its end. In particular, these controversies were even more intense when idol members appeared.

While Hwanhee expressed his confidence about the script, some argue that there may not have been a script in the beginning, or that the tension of the entertainers in the early and later stages of "We Got Married" were different.

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!
