Thai singer-songwriter and ex-TREASURE member Bang Ye Dam talked about his friendship with Lee Chan Hyuk of AKMU.

Bang Ye Dam guested on "Kim Shin-young's Noon Song of Hope" on December 14th, just a few days after making his solomusical return.

According to Bang Ye Dam, he chose the songs for his album from 38 songs he wrote and composed himself. He was very happy with the outcome of the album.

"Because I have to promote the album, I need to be 100% sure about it," the male singer said.

He also said that tracks 1, 2, and 3 were all possible choices for the title song. His favorite song was "Not At All."

During the speed quiz, Bang Ye Dam said that writing music was easier than writing lyrics, but that lyrics were more important.

He said this about writing songs: "When I had an idea, I would take a voice note and then write a song based on that."

"The Frog Prince" was what Bang Ye Dam said to describe Lee Chan Hyuk in five letters.

"At some point, he began to like frogs," he said when asked why.

He gets ideas from the green frog.

He gets ideas from green frogs.

"That's cool," I said, adding, "We talk music a lot."

Someone wrote to the radio show and asked, "Lee Chan Hyuk is mean to only one person."

Lee Soo-hyun is her name.

"Lee Chan Hyuk loves Lee Soo-hyun the most," Kim Shin-young said next.

They will not talk about each other if they really don't get along. Instead, they will act like they do.

The fact that they trust and love each other shows that they are related.

When Bang Ye Dam heard that, he said, "Of course."

Because he loves her a lot.

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!
