Actor Park Seo Joon has come up with a hilarious and innovative way to promote his upcoming film, 'Concrete Utopia'.

On July 21 KST, Park Seo Joon took to his Instagram story to "call out" an mysterious Instagram user. He posted the question, "Who on earth are you?", and tagged the Instagram page of a user named Minseong (@min_castle0809).

Now, let's unravel the mystery of Minseong.

Looking at his profile, it reads, "Nick and Judy couple's newlywed life."

In the description of his profile image, it says, "A cherry blossom date with Myunghwa in the neighborhood. Kekeke the way she's hiding behind me is kinda cute."

So, who is Minseong? Minseong is the fictional character portrayed by Park Seo Joon in the highly anticipated disaster film 'Concrete Utopia'!

In the movie's plot, Minseong is married to Myunghwa, played by actress Park Bo Young. It appears that Minseong's Instagram account was created as part of the movie's promotional efforts.

Whether a fictional persona or not, Park Seo Joon seems to take the existence of a doppelgänger quite seriously.

On Minseong's Instagram, he wrote, "I asked, who on earth are you. You know what, let's never meet in real life. Otherwise, one of us might be in real danger."

Meanwhile, 'Concrete Utopia' is set to hit theaters across South Korea on August 9!

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!
