• Single's Inferno 3' Star in Hot Water —Fans Slam Contestant for Trying Too Hard to Mimic Song Jia

    The newest season of "Single's Inferno 3" came out just now, and it's already causing a lot of debate.

    People think that Song Jia (Freezia), one of the most memorable contestants on the hit dating reality show, is the most famous.

    When she first showed up, she went popular because of how she looked, how she behaved around other people, and her style.

    Contestant Kim Gyuri has gotten a lot of attention this season 3 because she seems to want to be like Song Jia.

    She isn't getting as much praise as Song Jia did, though.


    Kim Gyuri was the first cast member to walk on stage, and she quickly showed how confident she was in her looks and beauty.

    Even though she said she was lively, she admitted that she seemed cold at first.

    This apparent coldness became more clear, though, when she met contestant Choi Hye Seon.

    Choi Hye Seon told Kim Gyuri she looked great, and Kim Gyuri didn't seem to care.

    Later, Kim Gyuri was sure that she was the best choice.

    She even said that one contestant was too bubbly and another wasn't influential enough.

    Despite this, her trust was hurt when she didn't get any votes in the first pairing.


    Fans of both Kim Gyuri and Song Jia couldn't help but see similarities between the two.

    In Kim Gyuri's case, though, it seemed like she was trying too hard to be like Song Jia, which made her seem cocky.


    Song Jia was sure of herself, but she did it in a pretty way, and she never put other contestants down.

  • 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!
