The buzz around the thrilling reality dating show 'Single Inferno 3' has settled, leaving behind a mix of emotions for both contestants and viewers alike.

The third season of 'Single's Inferno' managed to create four successful couples, adding a touch of romance to the drama-filled journey on Inferno Island.

Viewers found this season to be the most captivating yet, with unexpected love connections unfolding, even in the final episodes.

However, not all contestants basked in the show's glory. Kim Gyu Ri, known for her beauty, faced criticism for her behavior in the last two episodes.

She drew attention during a love triangle involving Yoo Si Eun and Choi Min Woo. In the 10th episode, Min Woo started leaning toward Si Eun after a visit to Paradise Island with Kim Gyu Ri.

Feeling the shift in Min Woo's affections, Kim Gyu Ri decided to have a private talk with him. Unfortunately, her tone turned condescending, comparing Min Woo's actions to those of Gwan Hee, and she also expressed disrespect toward Lee Gwan Hee.

This led to backlash from both the show's panelists and Korean netizens. Kim Gyu Ri faced criticism for her disrespectful remarks and insulting comments.

Responding to the negative feedback, Kim Gyu Ri issued an apology on her Instagram on January 11. She expressed regret for her careless words and acknowledged the impact they had on viewers.

Here's how netizens reacted to her apology:

"People watch these shows for drama and then demand apologies for it?"

"She spoke the truth! If a guy can't wait one day, he's a jerk. This drama is why I don't watch reality shows."

"Where is Gwanhee's apology? He did worse than the girls combined."

"Her conversation with Min Woo was toxic, but people shouldn't overreact. 'Single's Inferno' is scripted."

"Waiting for Gwanhee's public apology. Funny how he got away with it."

"She spoke the truth. No need to apologize for that!"

"Why is she apologizing? Knetizens are on another level. Seriously."

"This sucks. She had no reason to apologize."

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!
