Someone has made a claim that they witnessed TXT's Soobin and RIIZE's Seunghan together in Itaewon.

This claim was made by the account @BBOSONGEEEEE on X (formerly Twitter), who uploaded a short video showing Soobin hanging out with a man alleged to be Seunghan.

However, fans have doubts about the credibility of this witness and have found evidence to suggest that the man with Soobin is actually just one of his ordinary friends. On September 22nd, an anonymous account posted on X, saying that they had seen Soobin in Itaewon and initially didn't recognize him but found him to be quite handsome.

The anonymous OP mentioned that Soobin was spending his day off hanging out with a friend and described him as nice and liking the smell of his perfume. They further mentioned that they were at the cashier counter and saw him leave after trying on a beanie.

However, the OP did not mention any specific name of the friend. Additionally, in the comment section, another netizen attached @BBOSONGEEEEE's video and asked if it was taken on the same day, as they noticed the word "Itaewon" in the background.

The OP confirmed that it was indeed the same day and remembered that Soobin had a black jacket on but took it off because it wasn't cold. The OP also stated that in their memory, the friend with Soobin was just an ordinary person and mentioned that they appeared to be very close friends based on their interaction.

They also noted that their heights seemed to be different and that the friend was not a controversial male idol. Furthermore, on September 7th, a TXT fan posted a photo of Choi Soo-bin with a friend who had a similar appearance in the Amazon area of Everland. The fan emphasized that this friend was not RIIZE's Seunghan.

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!
