Red Velvet's Joy has become a topic of discussion in various online communities due to her changed visuals.

Since the beginning of the year, Korean netizens and fans have been debating whether Joy has undergone plastic surgery on her eyes, as she appeared with more pronounced and thicker double eyelids.

There have been varying opinions, with some netizens suggesting that Joy had cosmetic enhancements and looked better before the alleged eyelid surgery.

Others expressed the belief that Joy's beauty would be restored once any puffiness subsided.

Joy continues to be a hot topic after recent photos revealed her with a completely changed vibe. The discussions around her appearance have sparked curiosity and opinions among fans and netizens alike.

While there are fans who supported the idol with comments such as "You're the best," "She's so pretty," and "Joy worked so hard." There are Korean netizens who are expressing dissatisfaction over Joy's latest visuals as they are stating she lost her unique beauty.

Korean netizens commented, "She looks like a Chinese influencer who got plastic surgery, how did this happen?" "Fans were shielding her saying it was just eyelid tape, lol," "Why did she get her eyelids done, she was prettier without them..." "Wow, did she get it from the same place as BoA? She used to be so cute and refreshing but now she suddenly became one of those cheap TikTok plastic surgery girls," "SM needs to change their plastic surgeon," and "She's gorgeous though, people are just jealous."

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!
