SHINee's Minho shared his secret to a short night's sleep.

In an episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' on May 25th, the members of SHINee joined the show as guests.

Yoo Jae Suk, the host, couldn't help but praise Minho for his dedication to both exercise and dancing. He mentioned, "Minho's commitment to his fans is remarkable. He's active on social media, bidding 'Good night' around 12:30 AM and rallying everyone with 'Let's cheer up today!' at 5 AM. And all this on just 4.5 hours of sleep!"

This sparked a curious reaction from Park Jin Joo, who jokingly asked, "Isn't that too intense?" Minho clarified, "It's not an everyday thing. I align my social media activity with significant dates like our debut anniversary and my birthday. But since I do it quite often, I end up sacrificing sleep."

Key chimed in, sharing a humorous insight, "While other idols share their meals, Minho prefers to post gym equipment like pull-up bars."

Yoo Jae Suk added, "Minho's dedication is admirable, but he's got a bit of an old-school vibe." Key followed up with a joke, "That's why I had to unfollow from his feed!"

Taemin joined the banter, saying, "Hyung, you're still following me right?" Key teased back, "When you message me like 'Sweetie, what are you doing~?' I just had to click 'unfoloow'!" The playful exchange brought laughter to everyone.

For those interested, 'Hangout with Yoo' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM on MBC.

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!
