• “A Decade of Smiles”— SISTAR19’s Bora and Park Seo Joon's 10-Year Friendship Shines in Latest Photo

    Bora, who is making her comeback with the subunit SISTAR19, shared a bunch of photos on January 15. One of them was a picture she took at SISTAR19's return event.

    The picture that was leaked shows Bora with SISTAR's Soyou, as well as Starship Entertainment kids like Shownu from MONSTA X, Exy, Eunseo, Dayoung, Seola, and Yeoreum from WJSN, singer Yoo Seung Woo, Mad Clown, and others.


    Bora also shared pictures of herself with famous people, such as players from "Hospital Playlist 3" (Lee Sung-kyung, So Joo-yeon, and Oh Yoon-ah) and dancers Ivy, Honey J, and Aiki.

    There was also a picture of Bora with Park Seo Joon, Han So Hee, and others who were in the movie "Gyeongseong Creature" together not long ago.

    On the same day, Bora also shared a small video with Park Seo Joon on her Instagram story.

    They looked at the camera, yelled "Music Bank," and then laughed quietly in the video.

    Bora and Park Seo Joon worked as hosts on the KBS2 show "Music Bank" for about 18 months, from 2013 to 2015.

    Even though it's been almost 10 years since they were "Music Bank" MCs together, it looks like they are still very close.


    Because of this, fans wrote things like "Truly a mix of nostalgia" and "Neither of them has changed at all."

    On the other hand, SISTAR19 is coming back to the music business on January 16 with a new song called "No More (Ma Boy)." They are known for hits like "Ma Boy" and "Gone Not Around Any Longer."

  • 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!
