A recent post on an online community has caused a buzz, claiming that Sullyoon from NMIXX and Lee Know from Stray Kids might be in a romantic relationship.

This post, which included a video clip, was uploaded on August 26th and caught the attention of many.

The video comes from a fan who captured a moment at the '2023 Ulsan Summer Festival' on August 7th.

However, most of the comments from netizens suggest that they're not convinced by this alleged relationship.

Here are some of the top comments:

"They're both from the same label and even host 'Music Core' together. It's natural for them to be close!"

"Why would Sullyoon date someone around 160cm tall?"

"Don't people have friends of the opposite gender? They simply seem to be having a friendly conversation. This video doesn't really prove they're dating."

"They were clearly enjoying STAYC's performance, smh."

"Sullyoon is actually dating Kyungmun, lol."

"Could everyone please stop making up these stories?"

"No wonder idols don't interact anymore. People make sure the experience is as insufferable as possible for all parties involved."

"Idols can't even look at each other without people speculating they're into each other. No wonder some idols are awkward and don't give any reactions towards their fellow idols, even if they worked together."

"I thought they were at least out together or something, but they're on one of their schedules and just talking while watching a performance. No wonder idols don't interact publicly, no matter how close friends they are; if they breathe next to each other, they're suddenly dating."

So, despite the rumors, it looks like many fans aren't buying into the idea of Sullyoon and Lee Know being in a 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!
