IVE's Jang Won Young, the born entertainer, recently revealed that she's never felt a hint of nervousness in her life. How cool is that?

She made this revelation during her appearance on the web show 'Salon de Lip 2', which aired on May 7th.

Talking about her personality, Jang Won Young shared, "I'm super outgoing and love making friends. I'm naturally affectionate, especially with my mom. We're super close. When I see her, I just run up and give her a big hug. I don't say much, but I make these cute 'uh uh' sounds. That's just how I am when I'm comfortable with someone."

She went on to say, "I'm not the type to shy away from people I don't know. I've never felt embarrassed or awkward about approaching others or speaking in front of a crowd. I guess I'm just a natural when it comes to being in the spotlight."

When asked by Jang Do Yeon if she ever had a recording that didn't go as planned, Jang Won Young confidently replied, "If something like that happens, I just tell myself to do better next time. I don't dwell on it or have any regrets." Jang Do Yeon was so impressed that she jokingly asked to see Jang Won Young's ID.

Jang Do Yeon also asked about her experience as an awards ceremony MC, to which Jang Won Young responded, "I honestly don't get nervous. I can't remember ever feeling nervous," she said.

Even her debut stage at the tender age of 14 didn't faze her. "I was too young to be nervous. It was all just fun and exciting. I don't think I've ever been that nervous in my life."

When asked about her fears, she admitted, "Ghosts and bugs really freak me out. After watching a horror movie, I have to turn on all the lights when I go to the bathroom and I can't close my eyes, even for a second, while washing my face." This confession had everyone in stitches.

And that's our Jang Won Young - a natural-born entertainer who's not afraid to be herself!

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!
