Popular actor Kang Ha Neul recently appeared on 'The K-Star Next Door,' a famous YouTube show, alongside his co-star Jung So Min from their upcoming movie '30 Days.'

The show's host, Jonathan, joined in on the fun, creating lots of laughter.

During the show, Jonathan surprised Kang Ha Neul by sharing old pictures and untold stories from their past. That's when Kang Ha Neul spilled the beans about kissing actor Ji Chang Wook!

Jonathan asked directly, "You kissed Ji Chang Wook?" At first, Kang seemed a bit confused, but then he remembered the moment.

He casually revealed that he had kissed Ji Chang Wook multiple times during their work together in a musical called 'Thrill Me.' In fact, they kissed "2-3 times" during each performance!

Surprisingly, Kang Ha Neul mentioned that Ji Chang Wook holds the record for being the co-star he's kissed the most in his career so far.

But the story didn't end there. Kang Ha Neul shared an interesting lesson he learned from these intimate scenes with Ji Chang Wook: "I realized why men have to shave before kissing."

It turns out this experience was almost like an acting training session and helped him improve his skills.

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!
