Sisters Gong Seung Yeon, the renowned actress, and Jeongyeon from the popular K-pop group TWICE, have recently revealed that they’ve been living separately for about a year now.

In a video titled ‘Twice Jeongyeon and Seung Yeon fighting while talking about dogs’, which was uploaded on the YouTube channel ‘Kang's Dog Guest Show’ on April 13th, the sisters shared some insights into their decision to live separately.

The main reason behind their decision to live separately was revealed during a light-hearted moment in the video. When asked, “Do the sisters live together?”, Gong Seung Yeon responded, “We used to share a home, but now we live separately.”

Jeongyeon then added, “It’s been about a year. We had a disagreement and I decided I wanted to live alone. My sister was a bit tough on me.”

Gong Seung Yeon, taken aback, exclaimed, “Me?” to which Jeongyeon cheekily retorted, “You don’t even clean…” causing Gong Seung Yeon to burst into laughter.

This playful exchange between the sisters revealed that their decision to live separately was not due to any major conflict, but rather a desire for personal space and independence.

Despite living separately, the sisters continue to share responsibilities for their pets, Peanut and Yuki. Jeongyeon revealed that she’s currently looking after the pets, while Gong Seung Yeon added, “But since my sister has a lot of overseas activities, they often come to stay at our place,” indicating that the sisters still maintain a close relationship and support each other.

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!
