In the bustling world of K-pop, Red Velvet's Joy has recently become the center of a heated discussion among Korean netizens.

The buzz started when Joy made a public appearance, her eyes noticeably different, sparking rumors of cosmetic enhancements.

The speculation about Joy's altered appearance began a month ago when photos surfaced, hinting at a possible eyelid surgery.

As the initial swelling seemed to have subsided, the debate has only intensified, with netizens voicing their opinions on her decision to possibly undergo plastic surgery.

Here are some of the comments from the online community:

"She's still stunning."

"The swelling has significantly reduced."

"Wasn't it just eyelid tape before? What swelling?"

"It's obvious it's eyelid surgery… Eyelid tape doesn't give that effect."

"I recall her mentioning it was just tape."

"There's a noticeable change in her eyes."

"She had a unique charm before… It seems to have faded."

"She was already beautiful, no need for enhancements."

"Her eyes were more captivating before."

"Despite claims of it being eyelid tape, it's clear she had her eyes done. She was more attractive before."

"Regardless, she's beautiful."

"Why does it matter? It's her body, her life. Criticisms like these are why idols feel pressured to get surgery. Please stop."

"I never knew what a double eyelid was until K-pop."

"The fact that they complain about everything baffles me"

"Find something productive to do, leave her alone."

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!
