HyunA and Yong Junhyung, openly a couple, were spotted enjoying a street date in Thailand. The Taiwanese media outlet 'ETtoday' reported on the couple's trip to Bangkok, where they were seen strolling together.

During their street date, Yong Junhyung wore a short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts, while HyunA donned a flower-patterned dress.

The couple held hands tightly, creating a cozy and affectionate atmosphere as they walked the streets of Bangkok.

A netizen who witnessed the couple's outing shared a brief video, expressing excitement about the chance encounter and their reluctance to ask for a photo.

HyunA and Yong Junhyung publicly confirmed their relationship in January through social media, sharing a photo of them holding hands while walking.

HyunA tagged Yong Junhyung in her post and asked for positive support. Yong Junhyung also confirmed their relationship through a fan communication platform, expressing hope for warm support from fans.

The couple's public relationship comes about a year and two months after HyunA ended her six-year relationship with Dawn.

While some fans expressed concerns, referencing Yong Junhyung's past controversy related to the 'Jung Joon-young chatroom,' the couple continues to date confidently and enjoy their time together.

Yong Junhyung withdrew from the group Highlight in 2019 after admitting to having seen illegal videos shared by Jung Joon-young in 2015.

Although not a member of the 'Jung Joon-young chatroom,' his involvement in inappropriate conversations led to criticism.

After a temporary hiatus, Yong Junhyung returned to the entertainment industry in 2022 through the independent label 'Black Made.'

HyunA is currently preparing for a comeback, while Yong Junhyung is set to release a new EP, 'Beautiful Dystopia,' on the 25th through various online music platforms.

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!
