• Red Velvet's Joy says she and her pet dog Haetnim have a similar MBTI?

    Red Velvet's Joy says her dog, Haetnim, has a personality quite similar to hers. The idol recently appeared on the November 26 episode of SBS's 'TV Animal Farm,' where the cast discussed the DBTI (Dog Behavior Type Indicator) test.

    The show's host Shin Dong Yeop explained, "People who have dogs might have tried this test at least once," referring to the DBTI, a MBTI personality type test for dogs. "

    It categorizes a dog's personality type," he continued. "Just like people, dogs have different personalities, so through this test, you can determine if your dog is E (extroverted) or I (introverted). It's said that their play style and friendships differ based on their personalities."

    Tony Ahn, who also appeared on the program, joked, "I don't even know my own MBTI." He then went on to describe his dogs, saying, "Even when I call, they don't come easily. They have a certain aloofness and lack enthusiasm for everything, even playing, it's too bothersome."

    Hearing this, cast member Jung Seon Hee joked, "Wow, incredible! They're eerily similar to their dad," eliciting laughter. Joy then revealed that her own MBTI is INFJ and her dog Haetnim has a similar personality.

    She said, "I'm the homebody style who is only really active when I'm at home, and Haetnim is also introverted.

    When we go out for a walk, she wants to go back home quickly." Joy then expressed surprise, adding, "Come to think of it, it seems like dogs and their owners have similar tendencies." Continuing the conversation, Jung Seon Hee added, "We have a multi-dog household, and they're all different by breed," while Shin Dong Yeop added humorously, "Our dog, Cream, is definitely a capital 'E.' Her DBIT is just four Es."

    Meanwhile, Joy and the rest of Red Velvet are currently promoting their new album 'Chill Kill,' which dropped on November 13.

  • 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!
