Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon recently opened up about her concerns.

In a video posted on June 19th titled "Hyoyeon's Level Up" on her YouTube channel, Hyoyeon had announcer Kang Ji Young as a guest, and they had great chemistry.

During their chat, Kang Ji Young asked Hyoyeon, "As a host, what's your biggest worry?" Hyoyeon replied honestly, "I host shows where I treat my juniors to meals. I want to give them advice, but I fear sometimes I might come off as old-fashioned. Even if others don't see it that way, I worry I might."

Hyoyeon added, "I often think, 'Was that too old-fashioned?'" Kang Ji Young reassured her, saying, "With your experience, it's natural to be seen that way, even if you don't feel old-fashioned yourself."

Reflecting on her own journey, Kang Ji Young shared, "When I give advice based on my experiences, like 'When I started out…' it might sound old-fashioned to some. It's something you have to accept with time."

She continued, "Instead of pretending otherwise, just acknowledge it. After all, surviving in this industry for over 10 years isn't easy," emphasizing the challenges of staying relevant.

Hyoyeon's candidness about her concerns resonates with many in the industry, showing her dedication to staying current while sharing her wealth of experience.

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!
