K-pop girl group NMIXX recently faced criticism for their stage outfits during their performance of "Love Me Like This" on SBS's 'Inkigayo.'

The members were seen wearing relatively casual outfits, including a zip-up hoodie on top of a dress and a set of gym clothes.

The outfits quickly became a topic of discussion among netizens on various online forums. K-netizens expressed their shock and disappointment, stating that the outfits looked like something they would wear in elementary school. Many criticized the stylist, saying they would fire them if given the chance.

International fans also joined in the conversation, sharing their desire to see the girls in better clothes.

They expressed their dissatisfaction with the outfits and hoped that the group's management would provide them with better styling in the future.

Here are some reactions from netizens regarding NMIXX's stage outfits:

"If they wanted to dress casually, they could have picked something other than that navy set."

"Haewon's clothes are the worst. They make a strange optical illusion."

"Oh my god, Sullyoon has a hoodie that zips up…"

"Other groups are busy making themselves look stylish. Why should NMIXX girls only be remembered as "the talented ones" and not as "the stylish ones"…T_T"

"All of their clothes in the official music video are bad, too."

"They look like they just got up on stage while going for their daily walks."

"They look like those people who have to wear funny outfits as punishment on a variety show."

"They are good at live performances, but it looks like they were just told to wear whatever casual clothes they wanted."

"That thing that looks like a dress and has stripes looks like maternity clothes."

"Why do they have to wear those weird pants under the dress?"

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!
