aespa's Winter spills the beans on her family's 'small appetite' gene: 'We can't even finish a whole chicken!'
In a recent episode of the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun', aespa's Winter and Karina spilled some fun facts about their eating habits.
Karina kicked off the conversation, confessing, "Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a big appetite." Winter, on the other hand, had a different tale to tell. "My family? We're not big eaters at all," she revealed.
Winter explained, "They're not really into food. They eat just enough to fill their stomachs."
She went on to share a story from her trainee days. "Once, I came home craving fish cake soup. But my mom only prepared one skewer for each of us," she said, leaving everyone in shock.
Winter further added, "Even a whole chicken is too much for the four of us. And pizza? There's always some left over. Before I joined the company, I'd be full after just one or two slices and wouldn't eat any more."
Karina lightened the mood with a witty remark, "If you get full, can't you just split it in half?" The room erupted in laughter at her comment.
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!
