• IVE's Jang Won Young reveals she doesn't check the delivery fee when ordering food online

    IVE's very own Jang Won Young recently spilled the tea on everything from her past allowances to her experiences with food delivery apps.

    On May 5th, a video titled 'IVE Jang Won Young is pretty' popped up on the YouTube channel 'Psick University'. The star of the day? None other than Jang Won Young herself, who guest-starred on the 'Psick Show', turning heads left and right.

    Jang Won Young wowed everyone with her fluent English and perfect pronunciation. Lee Yong Ju was so taken aback, he asked, "Why are you so good at English. Did you live abroad?"

    When asked if she ever sneaked into her parents' wallet, she responded, "No. They give it to me if I ask, why would I steal it. They gave me an allowance every time I asked."

    She further explained, "In fact, there was no concept of allowance when I was young. Whenever I wanted or needed something, my parents gave it to me anytime. So I didn't have an allowance."

    Min Soo chimed in, "I also understand my parents. If I had a daughter like Won Young, I could give her everything," causing everyone to burst into laughter.

    Jang Won Young admitted to the question 'Have you ever postponed what you have to do from the exact time?', "Yes. Doesn't everyone do that? I wait for the exact time and it's 10 minutes, 11 minutes. So I'm a little late because I have a lot to prepare for the pickup time."

    Finally, when asked if she ever sorted by delivery fee when ordering food, she confessed, "No. To make an excuse, I work so I ask the manager for delivery. I haven't been able to check the delivery fee."

    She added, "I don't have a delivery app. All the managers will have (delivery) benefits and coupons. They will be VVIP now."

    Jang Won Young revealed that coffee and steak are her go-to orders, saying, "I don't like gopchang. Steak is my favorite food."

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
