K-pop star HyunA recently got real about her weight loss journey and its impact on her health.

On May 2, HyunA graced the 28th episode of ‘Season B Season 4’ as a special guest and had a heart-to-heart with Rain over a meal.

The episode saw HyunA opening up about her weight struggles in a candid conversation.

The chat kicked off with Rain complimenting HyunA, saying, “You’ve become even prettier since the last time I saw you.”

HyunA responded, “I’ve gained some weight now,” to which Rain replied, “But you look so much better now.”

Rain expressed his concern about HyunA’s past thinness, saying, “There was a time when I hadn’t seen you for many years. When I saw you again, I thought, ‘How can she be so thin?’”

HyunA then confessed, “I was only 40kg (88 lbs) back then.”

HyunA went on to share, “During that time, I would only eat one piece of Kimbap while on my schedule. This led to a drastic decline in my health starting at age 26. I wanted to perform well on stage, but I couldn’t.”

She added, “When that moment came, I asked myself, ‘Is this the happiness I wanted?’ Starting last year, I began to appreciate the little things in life.”

This candid revelation from HyunA gives us a glimpse into the struggles faced by our favorite stars. It’s a reminder that they, too, are human and face their own battles.

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!
