• LE SSERAFIM's Sakura Impresses Fans with Professionalism and Experience in Providing Feedback to Fellow Member During Rehearsals

    Even though she moved so quickly, she still caught it…


    Sakura is the oldest member of LE SSERAFIM, and she is also one of the idols with the most experience in the business. She has been doing this job for over 10 years, so she knows how to do it better than most.

    A video of the members of LE SSERAFIM watching their stage rehearsal for their "The Boys" show came back to light recently.

    The group sang the song, which was originally by Girls' Generation, on SBS Gayo Daejun in December 2022. \

    Everyone was paying close attention to the video, but Sakura was the first to notice that Kazuha was looking sideways when the camera moved to her face.

    She had a lot of experience being in front of the camera, so she gave Kazuha firm and careful advice."But Zuha, shouldn't you be looking at the camera? You're being filmed."

    Kazuha thought about what Sakura said right away and practiced moving her head so she could look straight at the camera when it moved to her face.

    In the end, the small change ended up making the performance better.

    At the time this article was written, the video had already been watched more than 4.1 million times on YouTube.

    Even though the original video had a caption saying that Sakura gave Kazuha "sharp" feedback, netizens thought it was very professional and wise.

    People thought it was impressive that Sakura caught such a small mistake and gave her opinion on how to fix it to make the performance better.

    "As expected…this is what 12 years of experience has taught us."


    "This may seem small to some, but it's things like this that make a performance better…
    "


    "I respect Sakura a lot."


    "But you should be thankful for this kind of feedback. Sakura is only giving you advice for your own good. If she hadn't said anything, it wouldn't have changed anything for her. So, we should be grateful that she did."


    "It's great that the members get along well and are close, so that the feedback doesn't hurt anyone's feelings."

  • 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!
