• NCT WISH Members Receives Laughter as Fans Notice They Splurged on Haribo Gummy Bear Bracelets

    Recently, fans noticed that the NCT WISH members had purchased adorable friendship bracelets.

    In an episode of ‘Wish List,’ the members set out on a mission and found themselves at a clothing store where they discovered adorable Haribo gummy bear bracelets.

    When they saw the bracelets, the members were drawn to the accessories and discussed among themselves whether to purchase them as friendship bracelets.

    The bracelets were being sold at a store for 28,000 KRW (approximately 20.41 USD) each. After some consideration, the members decided to buy 6 bracelets, totaling 168,000 KRW (approximately 122.45 USD).

    However, fans quickly noticed that the NCT WISH members might have overpaid for the bracelets.

    Netizens pointed out that the same bracelets were available online for only 11,000 KRW (approximately 8 USD) for adult-sized ones and 6,900 KRW (approximately 5 USD) for children’s sizes.

    Korean netizens and fans commented:

    “I thought the members purchased them for cheap, but it wasn’t.”

    “They overpaid, lol.”

    “They need to stop their impulse buying.”

    “They were scammed!”

    “They paid so much for them.”

    “Someone help.”

    “This is so cute.”

    “I guess they paid for the cute memory together.”

    “They should’ve checked the price beforehand.”

    “LOL, so expensive!”

  • 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!
