Former Miss A member Min recently gave an update on her current activities. YouTuber Mingoy (Yaman) uploaded a video titled 'Miraculous New York Travel with Legendary Girl Group Member,' where he shared details about his trip.

In the video, Mingoy starts off by saying that he is enjoying life in New York and mentions having a close Noona (older sister) who hangs out and eats with him regularly.

He reveals that she goes to a gym in Manhattan and mentions that she has arranged a gym class for him to experience what a Manhattan gym is like.

Mingoy goes on to share that she is currently at a salon getting her hair done, so he plans to meet up with her once she finishes and then head to the gym together. Eventually, Mingoy meets up with Min at the salon and they proceed to the gym.

Mingoy asks Min to introduce herself to his viewers, and she greets them as Mingoy's 'NNN' Min, which stands for 'New York Neighborhood Noona.' She announces that they will be going to work out and do yoga.

Mingoy expresses surprise when he finds out that Min signed him up for a yoga class. However, Min assures him that it will be easy.

On their way to the class, Mingoy explains that Min left Korea and has been living in New York for a year, fully embracing the New Yorker lifestyle. Curious about Min's perspective, Mingoy asks her to share the pros and cons of living in New York.

Min responds by saying that the pros include experiencing different cultures, while the cons are the city's dirtiness and unpleasant smells. After their yoga class, Min and Mingoy have dinner at a taco joint where they discuss Min's time in Miss A.

Mingoy recalls that in 2010, when he was in high school, Miss A was at the top of their game. He mentions that Min had a chic image back then, but now she scurries across the street, worried about the traffic lights changing, which makes Min laugh.

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!
