• AKMU's Chanhyuk Says 'No' to 'Sexy Concept' for Sister Suhyun

    In a recent 'UV Room' episode, AKMU's Chanhyuk wasn't happy about a new proposal.

    On May 31st, the YouTube channel 'UV Room,' run by comedian Yoo Se Yoon and singer Muzie, released a video called '[UV Recording Studio] AKMU vs. Devil Musician.'

    The video featured AKMU siblings Chanhyuk and Suhyun. Fans were surprised to see Chanhyuk in the studio, as it was believed Suhyun would be working solo with UV.

    UV members asked Chanhyuk, "Did you just stop by since we’re recording with Suhyun today?" and then asked Suhyun, "Are you preparing solo too?" Suhyun, caught off guard, asked Chanhyuk, "How did you get here? Did the manager tell you?"

    Chanhyuk made his feelings clear, saying, "It's not like you’re 'stealing' Suhyun, but she usually works only with me, and I wasn’t informed about this."

    He then asked, "Shall we listen to it? What is it?" Yoo Se Yoon explained, "It's a sexy concept that Suhyun hasn’t tried before."

    Chanhyuk, clearly unhappy, said, "I knew it. Sexy concept for my sister? No way. She’s still in her 20s." When Muzie's guide track played, Chanhyuk added, "Sorry, I really don't want to say this, but it's tacky," making everyone laugh.

  • 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!
