Ryu Jun Yeol, who had maintained silence throughout the dating controversy involving Han So Hee and Hyeri, has finally returned to social media.

On April 2, he shared a series of photos from his photoshoot with Noblesse Men Magazine on his Instagram. In the pictorial, Ryu Jun Yeol exudes charisma in various outfits, including a beige suit.

Following his post, Korean netizens flocked to his Instagram to leave comments regarding the recent dating controversy.

Some expressed understanding, stating, "I guess you have to make a living too," while others commended his choice to remain silent, saying, "I respect your decision to stay quiet." However, there were also critical remarks, with some labeling his post as "brazen" and expressing disbelief that he posted photos so soon after the breakup.

The dating rumors involving Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee emerged on the 15th of last month when they were spotted together in Hawaii.

Initially, both parties avoided confirming the rumors, citing their private lives. However, controversy arose when Ryu Jun Yeol's ex-girlfriend, Hyeri, posted "funny" on her social media, fueling speculation.

Despite Han So Hee's denial of the rumors and subsequent apology to Hyeri, the situation escalated when she once again targeted Hyeri.

Eventually, both Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol officially confirmed their breakup.

Han So Hee's agency stated that they recognized their roles as actors were more significant and vowed not to let personal matters affect their emotions anymore.

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!
