Netizens on various online communities have recently been debating the resemblance between aespa's Karina and (G)I-DLE's Soyeon.

One user initiated the discussion by posting a comparison of both Karina and Soyeon, titled, "I think Karina looks really like Soyeon for real."

Accompanying the post were photos of the two celebrities to facilitate the comparison.

The original poster admitted, "I didn't think that they looked alike, but seeing their pictures like that, I can understand why people think they look alike."

Here are some of the comments posted by netizens in response:

"Looking at it that way, they really do not look alike. Their facial features are completely different."

"As a fan of another idol, I don't really care about Karina or Soyeon, but if you believe they look alike after seeing this, don't you have facial recognition impairment…?"

"Wow! I'm shocked at how different they look."

"It seems like trolls are trying to gaslight people into thinking Karina looks like Soyeon. They keep writing these posts, but people aren't reacting the way they want. Let's leave both Karina and Soyeon alone ^^ and maybe show us your face instead."

"Honestly, seeing them side by side, they don't look alike at all. The OP must have been working hard every day to claim they look alike. It's kind of pitiful, really, because they just don't look alike…"

What are your thoughts?

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!
