After the finale of 'Single's Inferno 3,' where Lee Kwan Hee chose Choi Hye Sun, fans were curious about their offscreen relationship. Amid ongoing speculation, Lee Kwan Hee decided to clear the air himself.

On January 20, the professional basketball player used his personal YouTube channel to share that he and Choi Hye Sun are not a couple.

He explained, "I usually don't post on YouTube during the basketball season, but I wanted to address this. I want to make it clear that I'm not in a relationship with Choi Hye Sun."

Lee Kwan Hee added, "I did communicate with Choi Hye Sun right after the show, and we met at a dinner, but for a relationship, I need someone I can see every day.."

He continued, "In reality, Hye Sun has to go back to England soon, and I have training in Changwon. Considering all this, I didn't see us being a couple. That's why I only kept in touch with her occasionally".

Addressing rumors about gifting flowers on Choi Hye Sun's birthday, he clarified, "I've never been to that florist, and I never gave her flowers," denying social media speculations.

Netizens shared their thoughts:

"All this drama for what? Just for our entertainment, I guess ?."

"Good! She deserves better!"

"Okay then! Profile successfully raised, rumors debunked, back to the day job."

"We all knew they weren't going to work out; the show is pure publicity."

"No wonder I sensed a romantic chemistry between Hye Sun and Won Ik in the recent vlog post. There seems to be a special connection between them with a romantic undertone."

"Not surprised at all. Kwan Hee is so indecisive. He never made up his mind. Women hate that. Hye Sun probably just went along for the show, but she was never going to take Kwan Hee seriously."

"Well, there we have it. Straight from the horse’s mouth."

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!
