Amber, former member of the popular K-pop group f(x), recently shared a deeply personal story of how she narrowly avoided financial ruin due to gaslighting by her ex-boyfriend.

According to reports from Chinese media outlets like Sina.com on June 7th, Amber opened up about her past relationship during a recent live broadcast.

In her candid revelation, she disclosed, "I have had a history of dating bad guys since I was young. I'm relieved that they are all in the past now. It seems like I haven't found the right person for me yet, but I won't give up. While many people have lost faith in marriage, I still believe in finding the right person."

She went on to describe her ex-boyfriend as skilled in gaslighting, admitting that she was oblivious to his manipulative tactics at the time.

It wasn't until her friends pointed out that she should prioritize her own well-being that she realized she had been a victim of gaslighting.

Amber explained, "I was constantly spending money and burdened by guilt. Even in challenging situations, I believed I couldn't live without him. My self-esteem suffered, and I became a mess."

Expressing her frustration, Amber stated, "My ex-boyfriend was truly a terrible person. He took a substantial amount of money from me, pushing me to the brink of bankruptcy. While I used to strive to treat everyone well, I now despise that mentality. Nonetheless, I have resolved to become a better person."

Amber rose to fame as a member of f(x) when the group debuted in South Korea in 2009. Known for their catchy tunes and energetic performances, f(x) released numerous hit tracks including "Nu Abo," "Hot Summer," "Pinocchio," and "Red Light."

Additionally, Amber made appearances on various Korean entertainment programs, showcasing her versatile talents.

However, her activities became limited after her contract with SM Entertainment ended in 2019. Since then, she has focused primarily on her solo career in the United States, delivering albums like "Paradise," "White Noise," and "X."

Currently, viewers can catch her on the show "Real Men 4," where she is making her presence felt.

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!
