Rumors about IU and Lee Jong Suk getting married have been swirling around. And guess who’s adding fuel to the fire? None other than Jo Hye Ryeon, known for her heart-touching wedding tunes, who’s dreaming of serenading them on their big day.

On the 11th, a video titled "Riding Along with Jo Hye Ryeon, the Wedding Song Sensation" was dropped on Vivo TV.

In the video, Jo Hye Ryeon chatted with Song Eun-i during their car ride. Talking about her recent gigs, Jo Hye Ryeonspilled, “Lately, I've been hanging out at ‘Inkigayo,’ jamming with idols, and my TikTok and Instagram are blowing up. It’s a blast!”

Curious, Song Eun-i asked, "Is it different from when you sang 'Anakkana'?" Jo Hye Ryeon spilled the beans, “When I first sang 'Anakkana,' crickets. Released it in 2005, but it was a no-show. But when it turned into a wedding jam, bam! Suddenly everyone’s grooving. Next up, I’m singing at Kim Ki-ri’s wedding.”

Kim Ki-ri tied the knot with actress Moon Ji-in on May 17th, where Jo Hye-ryeon belted out a cheerful tune.

Then, Song Eun-i dropped the bomb, “Heard you’re aiming for Lim Ji Hyun and Lee Do Hyun’s wedding. True?” Jo Hye-ryeon chuckled, “Yep, that’s on my list. Also eyeing IU and Lee Jong Suk’s big day,” sending everyone into fits of laughter. She joked, “I’m ready to drop some cash, like 3 million won, for the gig. But they’d probably shut me down.”

In the meantime, IU and Lee Jong Suk went public with their relationship at the end of 2022. It all started when Lee Jong Suk, after bagging the grand prize for ‘Big Mouth’ at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards, hinted at his special someone during his speech.

By New Year’s Eve, they confirmed, “We’ve upgraded from colleagues to lovebirds,” with IU pouring her heart out on her fan cafe.

IU gushed about Lee Jong Suk, calling him her rock and showering him with praise. She spilled, “We’ve had each other’s backs for ages. He’s been my cheerleader, always boosting me up with his ‘You’re awesome’ chants. He’s dependable and adorable, flooding me with love,” promising to keep their romance low-key for their fans’ sake.

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!
