She said a name that I knew.

Soloist Jeon Somi made her long-awaited comeback on August 7 with the EP Game Plan. Her lead track "Fast Forward" is already getting a lot of attention on social media for its catchy beats and dance moves.

On August 8 (KST), the singer was a guest on SBS PowerFM's Cultwo Show with Kwon Eunbi. The two artists used the show to promote their own comebacks. Somi played "Fast Forward" live, and the standard electronic music sound brought back memories of the Tecktonic dance from the early 2000s.

Somi joked that she wished she could have been a part of the early Tecktonic trend, but she was only eight years old when it took over the world in 2008. But now that she has her own dance challenge with "Fast Forward," she wants to dance with a certain person.

Somi said she wanted to do the dance challenge with Lee Do Hyun, who is a popular actor in Korean dramas.

Lee was first mentioned by the radio host, who said that Lee had done Tecktonik dance on a variety show before and asked Somi if she would like to do a dance video with Lee. Somi said that she had already asked the star for it.

When Lee was a guest on the famous JTBC variety show Knowing Bros in 2020, he surprised everyone with how good he was at dancing.

The actor said he had done some modern dance and acrobatics in the past, and he did some amazing things on the show.

But Tecktonik is his go-to dance, which he showed off on Knowing Bros and other entertainment shows. He often does a Tecktonik act to make everyone laugh.

So, many people would have loved to see Somi and Lee Do Hyun dance together on the singer's new song.

Somi said, though, that the actor is going to join the service soon, which makes the chance of it happening pretty low. But she hasn't given up yet. She said she will keep asking until she gets what she wants.

We need the biggest K-Pop and K-Drama fans to get to work as soon as possible.

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!
