NCT is known for its many talented members, and among them is someone who was super popular in high school because of his handsome looks.

Before his debut with NCT 127, Jungwoo was already making waves among his female classmates due to his good looks.

During a recent interview on "The K-Star Nex Door," MC Jonathan uncovered some interesting facts about Jungwoo's past.

Jonathan shared, "When you were in high school, your high school Facebook was filled with girls asking you out."

Jungwoo's popularity was so intense that some of his classmates couldn't help but feel a little sad about it, realizing that dating him was a distant dream. But there's a twist to this story.

One of Jungwoo's classmates joked, "Kim Jung Woo from grade eleven studying engineering—why is he so popular? No."

Surprisingly, Jungwoo himself had no clue about all the attention he was getting back then.

He didn't even know about the high school Facebook page filled with girls trying to date him. It was NCTzens who eventually informed him about it.

Jungwoo's stunning looks didn't stop being a hot topic after high school. Once he debuted, he continued to capture hearts with his visuals, talent, and charming personality.

Fans are now learning more about their favorite idol's past, and it's safe to say that Jungwoo's popularity has only continued to grow!

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!
