He's a great fit for the role.

Lee Jun Ho of the group 2PM has been getting noticed for his part as Gu Won in the show King The Land. In the play, he plays the son of a wealthy chaebol who falls in love with an employee.

Fans couldn't help but notice that he was Gu Won when he went to pick up a schedule for jtbc's Newsroom on July 6, 2023.

Even though he was dressed up, his shyness showed through.

He also made fans laugh by doing a move from the movie King the Land.

His smile was as bright as it had ever been. This might be one of the ways he was different from Gu Won.

With the suit, he looked even more like his role in the play. Gu Won would never be caught giving away hearts, of course.

Now, this is more like Gu Won.

Lee Jun Ho looks exactly like his character. This is a fact.

He's a picture of him from the play so that you can compare!

He looks so good in the sun. Even though they were taken by journalists, he looks good in every single one.
Wow. He even dresses like Gu Won.
It's dead on, Gu Won!!!
Waaaaah, pretty. Fcking handsome. It's just Mr. Gu Won, the general manager. LOL. Fcking handsome.
F*cking handsome.
Mr. General Manager Gu Won…

We can't think of anyone else to play the role.

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!
