Red Velvet's Wendy recently talked about the fan protests involving trucks outside the company.

In a recent fancall, Wendy shared her thoughts, encouraging fans to think about different ways to show their support.

"No more trucks and emails," Wendy said. "We've been around for 10 years. We can handle things on our own. We've got some power too."

Speaking in a comforting tone, Wendy reminded fans that their efforts might be better used elsewhere. "Instead of spending money on protests, use that money to treat yourselves to some good food and drinks," Wendy suggested, emphasizing a more positive approach.

Wendy's straightforward comments have sparked mixed reactions. While some see protest trucks and mass emails as crucial for expressing fan concerns, others are starting to question if these methods could have negative consequences.

Wendy's disapproval of these approaches suggests a preference for resolving matters within the company, without external fan pressure.

At the same time, some fans argue that if Wendy supports these protests, it might strain her relationship with the company, while opposing them could disappoint fans.

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!
