Kim Min Ju recently faced unwarranted body-shaming comments from a hater, but netizens quickly stepped in to support her.

On January 13th, a post surfaced on a popular online community, claiming that Kim Min Ju had gained weight.

The post included pictures from her fan sign event held on the same day.

Despite the negativity, Kim Min Ju is set to grace the big screen in the movie 'Hear Me: Our Summer,' a remake of the 2009 original.

In response to the body-shaming post, netizens defended Kim Min Ju with comments like:

"Weight gain? Where? lol, Having wide hips doesn't mean she's fat. Seriously."

"It's probably just her wide hips, and Thom Browne's clothes often fit that way."

"This post is clearly just trolling. It follows the same pattern every time."

"I looked it up online and found similar posts in different communities with the same title and pictures. Is this negative viral marketing?"

"Her face looks the same. It's probably the pants' shape."

"She attended year-end award shows recently, so she couldn't have gained weight so quickly."

"Netizens, please share how you're insecure about yourselves a bit louder!"

"The issue seems to be with the outfit."

"She looks fine, but the entire outfit doesn't fit right, making her look strange."

"It's just the unflattering fit of the clothes and a bad angle. Nothing more."

"It's literally just a bad angle."

"She looks healthy. Haters need to focus on themselves."

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!
