The recent influx of criticism towards LE SSERAFIM's live singing abilities seems to have sparked discussions within popular online communities.

Following their encore performance on 'M! Countdown' and their appearance at Coachella, where they faced further scrutiny, the group's vocal skills have been under constant scrutiny.

In response to the ongoing criticism, LE SSERAFIM member Kim Chae Won shared a performance clip of Doja Cat on her Instagram story.

In the video, Doja Cat is seen gesturing towards the crowd during her Coachella performance, which some interpreted as a reaction to the criticism they've been receiving.

The sharing of this video by Kim Chae Won has sparked speculation among netizens, with some believing it to be a direct response to the criticism, while others see it as a mere coincidence or an expression of admiration for Doja Cat.

However, the Instagram story was later deleted, leaving room for interpretation regarding Kim Chae Won's intentions.

Korean netizens commented, "Doja Cat is awesome," "Wow," "I don't think she should give people something to rip at," "I guess she thought that part of the performance was impressive. People should stop speculating," "She deleted that right away didn't she?" "Why did she share that part of the performance out of all others?" "Doja Cat is really good at singing though," "I don't think she posted without meaning, what is this?" "She's amazing lol," and "I really like Kim Chae Won but people's responses aren't that good so I think it's better if she stays still. I get what it means but everyone is thinking the same."

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!
