Since the news broke about Jang Won Young's older sister making her acting debut, Jang Da Ah has been a hot topic in various online communities.

Netizens have been actively discussing Jang Da Ah's performance in the series 'Pyramid Game.' Initially, before the series premiered, opinions were mixed regarding her acting skills.

Some netizens pointed out what they perceived as awkward mouth movements in the official trailers.

However, as the series began airing, opinions shifted, and netizens started viewing Jang Da Ah's acting more positively.

One netizen even commented that she perfectly portrayed the character of the youngest daughter from a wealthy family, capturing the essence of her role in the drama.

Other netizens commented, "She's so pretty," "She's so perfect for Baek Ha Rin's role. Ha Rin let's keep going down the path of downfall," "The first gif is so crazy," "She seems like the first daughter of a Rich family," "I don't think the youngest daughter, more like the oldest daughter of a rich family," "No, she doesn't give off youngest daughter vibes. More oldest daughter vibes, who is ambitious in a rich family," "She looks so luxurious," "She's pretty and her vibe is so crazy," "The way she talks and the way she presents herself is a very daughter-of-rich-family vibe," and "She is Baek Ha Rin."

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!
