Will we ever get a picture of the two of them together?

People noticed a new Korean actor last year because she looked a lot like two beautiful K-Celebrities: Han So Hee and ITZY's Ryujin.

The actress was none other than Kim Ji Eun.

Im Si Hwan (also known as Yim Si Hwan) and Lee Dong Wook starred in the 2019 K-drama Hell Is Other People on OCN.

This was Kim Ji Eun's first major part. She played Im Si Hwan's girlfriend on the show.

But her career took off in 2021 when she played Yoo Je Yi, a NIS field agent, in the K-drama The Veil on MBC.

Soon after that, she became even more well-known for her role as a law trainee on the SBS show One Dollar Lawyer.

In April, Kim Ji Eun and Hyungwon from Monsta X became the new hosts of the SBS show Inkigayo.

Netizens were stunned by her looks and were happy to see her on the show. People couldn't stop talking about how much she looked like ITZY's Ryujin.

People have said for a while that Kim Ji Eun looked like Ryujin, so she talked about it. Hyungwon asked the Inkigayo MCs a question about how much Kim Ji Eun looks like Ryujin during an interview on SBS's main YouTube channel.

"A question to MC Ji Eun. You once said that you look like Ryujin from ITZY. Can we get a picture of the two of you together?"— Hyungwon

Kim Ji Eun said she heard this a lot, especially when her hair was short.

"I heard that I looked a lot like her, and in my last K-drama, One Dollar Lawyer, I had short hair, and we did look alike," he said.— Kim Ji Eun

Kim Ji Eun said that people even talked to her on the street because they thought she was Ryujin.

"When I walk down the street, some people say, "Ryujin unnie!" and others say, "You're Ryujin unnie, right?" Can you sign something?' It might have happened twice!" — Kim Ji Eun

The star then said that she would like to meet the singer from ITZY.

"One day I'd like to meet her in person."— Kim Ji Eun

People on the Internet reacted to the interview by saying that the two do look alike, especially in the movie "One Dollar Lawyer."

“Lol! Identical”

"Oh, I can't wait for the two-shot."

"As I watched the drama, I got confused"

"Of all the people who look alike, they are the most alike"

"She looks like Ryujin + Han So Hee (((my opinion)))"

"When Kim Ji Eun did a challenge, she danced well, so at first I thought it was Ryujin."

"She looks like Han So Hee, too! Haha. Please get Ryujin and Ji Eun together for a two-shot!!! lol”

"They do look alike LOL. They're both so freaking pretty; they could be sisters."

"Remember when there was a post asking if Ryujin was acting when 'One Dollar Lawyer' came out? Hahaha! I want ITZY to do a task with Ryujin when she comes back."

"Maybe she doesn't look like Ryujin in this video because her hair is long, but when it's short, she does."

We'd love for that to happen and for those two beautiful women to be in the same picture.

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!
