After testing positive for Type A influenza, actress Go Min Si can't do anything for now.

Since Go Min Si is a representative for a fashion brand, she couldn't make it to a photowall event that was set for December 15 at 11 a.m.

The PR firm said, "Because Go Min Si has been diagnosed with Type A influenza, she has had to cancel her trip to the photowall event."

We're sorry that this sudden change in the plan caused you trouble.

We need your help to understand.Type A influenza, which Go Min Si tested positive for, is a serious lung disease caused by the flu virus.

It's been getting worse lately.

Types A and B of influenza in humans are different, with type A having worse symptoms.

Headaches, fevers, chills, a runny nose, cough, sore throats, diarrhea, and stomach pain are some of the symptoms.

Type A influenza spreads very easily and can be caught from touching a sick person or from things that they touch.

It can also be spread by coughing, sneezing, or talking, which releases drops into the air.

Even though it's not required, after confirmation it's suggested that the person stay inside and not go outside for about 7 days, because of the incubation time.

With the flu getting worse, there are more documented cases in the entertainment business as well.

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!
