BTS's V left a video message for the new intern, Go Min Si.

On the June 28th episode of tvN's 'Jinny's Kitchen Season 2,' fans got to see V's appearance before his enlistment.

With only 10 days left before enlisting, V shared, "I have a dream for when I come back. I want to live a healthy lifestyle. I want to be healthier in body and clearer in mind."

PD Na Young Seok praised him, saying, "Your mindset is really good," but Park Seo Joon responded realistically, "So I told him. That lasts just a month."

V continued, "Still, I'm really looking forward to 'Jinny's Kitchen Season 2.' I'm getting a new junior." When asked to leave a video message for the new intern, V made everyone laugh by asking, "Can I fold my arms?"

V then said, "First of all, you can't be slow. I hope you show a quick and energetic side that suits the youngest member. When I come back, I hope you're used to it. I don't know who you are, but see you then."

Park Seo Joon looked at V fondly and said, "I wonder when this will be used."

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!
