The Glory actors Lim Ji Yeon and Lee Do Hyun are dating, according to Dispatch.

Dispatch has a report that Lim Ji Yeon and Lee Do Hyun have been seen on multiple dates together over the past four months. They also said that everyone on the staff and in the cast of The Glory knew about their relationship.

It was foggy in Korea on December 15, 2022. Even though it was cloudy that day, Lim Ji Yeon could still see Lee Do Hyun in front of her. The snowy and foggy day was fun for the two of them at Lee Do Hyun's apartment in the Geumho neighborhood of Seoul. Together, they made a snowman and took pictures with it. On top of Lee Do Hyun's car, they put a small snowman.

The next day, they both went to the Yongin Nature Recreation Forest, and Lee Do Hyun brought them both coffee.

While they were working on The Glory, Lee Do Hyun and Lim Ji Yeon started to like each other. In a lot of scenes, both actors were in the same shot. By the time they were done making The Glory, they were very close. Dispatch thinks that the two got very close during a workshop for The Glory that took place in the summer of 2022.

The actors and staff who worked on The Glory all knew that Lim Ji Yeon and Lee Do Hyun were seeing each other.

The Glory's team had the best teamwork I've ever seen. A lot of the time, the actors would go out to eat together. I think the dinners helped them get to know each other, and that led to them getting together. — Drama Official B

Lee Do Hyun was busy making the K-drama Bad Mother and the movie Graveyard at the same time in January 2023. Even though he had a lot going on, he made sure to go to the The Glory team dinner. The team dinner was seen by the people at Dispatch. Author Kim Eun Sook, actresses Song Hye Kyo, Yeom Hye Ran, Jung Sung Il, Kim Hieora, Park Sung Hoon, Cha Joo Young, Kim Geon Woo, and others were there.
After the second round of drinks, Lim Ji Yeon's manager picked up Lee Do Hyun and drove him to Lim Ji Yeon's house in her company car. The two people then talked all night long.

On March 14, which is called "White Day" in Korea and is when men usually give women gifts, the two went on a chocolate date in the Geumho neighborhood of Seoul. This was only four days after the second part of The Glory came out.

Both Artist Company, which represents Lim Ji Yeon, and Yuehua Entertainment, which represents Lee Do Hyun, have said that they are looking into Dispatch's report.

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!
