During a news show on December 21, Yang Won Bo, the host of JTBC News's "Scandal Supervisor," told G-Dragon they were sorry for how they covered his recent drug incident.

The news anchor admitted that the first reports, which were shown during the early stages of the police probe, had things in them that G-Dragon might have thought were wrong or inappropriate.

As soon as the anchor realized how their reporting had affected G-Dragon and his fans, they apologized for any grief or trouble they had caused.

In the past two months, JTBC has spread fake information about G-Dragon (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), including claims about his behavior and drugs, as well as making fun of him.

When G-Dragon went to the police station, JTBC anchors criticized his actions and said he should say sorry to everyone.

The network's coverage also included harsh comments about what he did, with headlines like "Snoring, stretching…

"G-Dragon, is this a sign that you are not guilty?" These comments made it sound like they didn't like how he behaved during the probe.

G-Dragon announced on December 21 that he had signed an exclusive deal with Galaxy Corporation, which meant he would no longer work with YG Entertainment.

At a press conference that morning, Jo Sung Hae, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, made it clear that he would do everything he could to protect G-Dragon's image.

The CEO said that the company would take strict legal action against anyone who wrote or posted anything bad about G-Dragon that was meant to hurt his reputation.

They gave everyone one week, until December 28, to get rid of all the false information about G-Dragon.

The agency also asked the media to be careful about how they reported on G-Dragon's drug incident, stressing how important it was to let him get back to making songs without any extra problems.

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!
