The internet is once again abuzz, particularly within Korean online communities.

Following the recent dating rumors surrounding Joshua, yet another member of the group Seventeen has found themselves caught up in dating speculation.

A Weibo post on August 10 suggested that Hoshi and Red Velvet's Yeri might be dating, which sparked discussion in a number of online communities.

This unidentified post, which has been translated and circulated across different Korean online platforms, alleges that there are subtle concealed messages within Yeri's social media posts that were shared on Hoshi's birthday.

Additionally, the post puts forward the idea that these two idols went on a joint trip to Jeju Island and were spotted at the same events.

This round of speculation involving another pair of well-known idols swiftly propagated throughout the online landscape, captivating the interest of netizens.

Numerous Korean netizens remain dubious about these fresh rumors and have shared their thoughts:

"This seems like the imagination of an overseas fan."

"What's going on?"

"Isn't Jo In Sung considered Yeri's ideal type?"

"They should give Hoshi some space."

"I don't think it really matters if they're dating. Both being celebrities, they probably won't attend each other's concerts."

"Are they joking?"

"The attempt seems so contrived that it's hard to put any belief in it."

"Hoshi seems active on Weverse, while Yeri frequently engages on Instagram and Bubble."

"There are plenty more posts on Weibo that debunk this assertion, haha."

"They should present more substantial evidence to support the claim of their relationship."

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!
