Former 2NE1 member Sandara Park, more popularly known as Dara, recently shared on social media that her longtime friend and fellow K-pop idol G-Dragon had sent her a special gift.

G-Dragon, who recently collaborated with Nike to release limited-edition clothes and shoes, gifted Dara with some of these exclusive items.

Dara took to Instagram on May 3 to share the photos of her gift and express her gratitude. She captioned the post with "Thanks GD" and included some photos of herself smiling brightly while showing off the clothes and shoes.

The post quickly garnered attention from fans of both Dara and G-Dragon, who were thrilled to see the two K-pop icons still maintaining their close friendship.

However, one of the photos Dara shared revealed a hilarious mistake on G-Dragon's part. In the picture, Dara showed off a jacket with her full name embroidered onto it.

However, the name was misspelled as "Sandari Park" instead of "Sandara Park". Dara playfully called out G-Dragon for the mistake, writing in the caption, "Jiyong-Ah…San…San Da Ri Park".

The post quickly went viral and sparked various reactions from netizens.

Here are some of the most notable reactions:

"This is the ultimate friendship goals! G-Dragon's gift to Dara shows how much he values their friendship."

"G-Dragon has always been known for his generosity and thoughtfulness towards his friends. It's no surprise that he gave Dara such a special gift."

"The fact that G-Dragon gifted Dara with limited-edition clothes and shoes shows that he knows her style so well. They truly have a strong bond."

"Dara's reaction to the misspelling on her clothes is so cute! It just goes to show that she appreciates the thought behind the gift more than anything else."

"It's heartwarming to see how supportive G-Dragon is of Dara's career. He's always been there for her, and this gift just proves it."

"I'm so excited to see what kind of collaboration Dara and G-Dragon will come up with in the future. They're both so talented, and I know they'll create something amazing."

"Dara is such a sweetheart, and she deserves all the love and recognition she's been getting lately. I can't wait to hear her new album!"

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!
