• AKMU's Suhyun tells funny story of brother Chanhyuk devouring her instant noodles

    Special DJ Suhyun from AKMU appeared on MBC FM4U's 'Kim Shin Young's Noon Hope Song' broadcast on November 22 KST.

    During the show, she interacted with listeners and shared a funny anecdote involving her older brother, Chanhyuk. In the latter half of the show, Suhyun introduced the topic of "A lie I've told at least once."

    She amusingly pointed out some common lies that many Koreans tell, such as sending a text claiming to be "just 5 minutes away" even when they're clearly running late or automatically saying "let's grab a meal sometime" when bumping into someone.

    One listener shared a relatable story about their younger brother, confessing, "When my younger brother makes ramen and asks me if I want some, I'll always say I don't want any. However, when I smell the boiling ramen, I can never resist."

    In response, Suhyun said, "I would never just ask for one bite. If I wanted one bite, I'd rather just make it myself in the first place."

    She then proceeded to share her own experience with her older brother, Chanhyuk. Suhyun explained, "When my brother was young, he would always ask for 'just one bite, just one bite.'

    But then he evolved and started saying 'I won't eat any' 'I swear I won't eat any' 'I get full just seeing you eat.' However, as soon as I finished making the ramen, I would hear him sneakily approaching with his chopsticks.

    He would then eat a bite without saying a word and leave. It used to make me so angry." Another listener joined in, relating to the amusing scenario and confirming that it's a common occurrence in many households.

    Suhyun concluded by humorously mentioned that now that they're independent, her brother regrets not being able to have a taste of the ramen she prepares.

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
