• Lee Kwan Hee from 'Single’s Inferno 3' faces backlash for disrespectful comments towards Yoon Ha Jeong

    Lee Kwan Hee from "Single's Inferno 3" is facing backlash for making disrespectful remarks recently.

    In a recent YouTube video featuring contestants from the popular dating show watching the episodes together, Lee Kwan Hee shared that it was the first time they had done so.

    Lee Kwan Hee expressed, "Since we haven't gathered in a while, and this is our first time watching the show together, I thought it would be different to review it together. Now that the last episode has aired, let's share our thoughts with the audience."

    During the video, Yoon Ha Jeong commented on Lee Kwan Hee's entrance scene, describing him as cocky.

    Yoon Ha Jeong remarked, "You're so full of it. You look like a jerk."

    In response, Lee Kwan Hee shared his thoughts about Yoon Ha Jeong, saying, "I felt it. I knew she wasn't easy. I thought I needed to push her down a bit."

    The term "push down" is akin to "bring down to earth" and can carry a chauvinistic undertone, especially when referring to women who are strong or outspoken.

    Netizens took issue with Lee Kwan Hee's choice of words, criticizing him for being careless. Comments like "Who are you trying to push down?" and "He needs to be more careful with his words" circulated online.

    This isn't the first time Lee Kwan Hee has faced criticism, previously being labeled a "walking red flag" by fans.

  • 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!
