• Super Junior's Kyuhyun opens up about the slump he faced after a deadly car accident in 2007

    Super Junior's Kyuhyun recently opened up about the terrifying car accident in 2007 that nearly took his life, saying, "I almost died."

    On June 21st, a video titled "Namuwiki Part 2 | ep.8" was uploaded to Kyuhyun's YouTube channel 'KYUHYUN.'

    In the video, Kyuhyun read through his profile on the information site 'Namuwiki' and checked the facts.

    However, the most gripping part of the video was when he discussed the car accident that happened on April 2007 while he was returning to the dorm after a schedule.

    Kyuhyun recounted, "I almost died. It's not an exaggeration to gain sympathy; all my ribs were broken. I was in a coma for four days."

    He continued, "It's amazing how my memory was gone, and when I woke up, I was in the hospital room. They told me three days had passed. The doctor said I was going to die. They tried to save me by puncturing my sides instead of my neck."

    In a 2012 appearance on MBC's 'Radio Star,' Siwon mentioned the severity of Kyuhyun's condition, saying, "He almost died."

    Despite the severity of his injuries, which typically require more than a year of rehabilitation, Kyuhyun resumed activities about half a year after the accident.

    He revealed, "I wasn't in a condition to do it, but I forced myself. I had joined late, and if I was absent until the second album, I felt like it wouldn’t be Super Junior."

    Kyuhyun's incredible recovery and dedication to his group demonstrate his unwavering commitment and strength, leaving fans deeply moved by his story.

  • 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!
