• Hyoyeon Talks About Possible Girls' Generation Comeback, The Boyz's Younghoon Reveals He's a Big Fan

    The Boyz’s Younghoon asked Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon about their future activities.

    On the June 27 episode of tvN's 'Bobhanjan,' a surprise meeting was held in Incheon, featuring Hyoyeon as Lee Soo-geun's friend.

    During the show, Lee Eun-ji discovered that Hyoyeon has been living in Songdo New City for 18 years and asked, "Why did you choose Songdo?"

    Hyoyeon explained, "We used to live in Namdong-gu. The real estate agent suggested that Songdo would develop. My mother chose the house after seeing it. I was also born in Incheon."

    Lee Eun-ji added, "I was born in Incheon too, at Kim Man-seong Obstetrics and Gynecology in Yonghyeon Market," to which Hyoyeon responded, "That's amazing. I was also born there." Lee Eun-ji joked, "We are all connected by the umbilical cords cut by Dr. Kim Man-seong."

    Kim Hee-sun chimed in, "I watch your dancing videos every day on Reels. I don’t think there's any female idol who can keep up with your dancing." Hyoyeon replied, "If you're interested, I can teach you. I really wanted to meet you, Hee-sun unnie," showing her admiration.

    Lee Eun-ji asked, "When did you become a fan of Kim Hee-sun?" Hyoyeon answered, "A long time ago. Whether it’s now or then, she has this lovely aura that's always the same."

    Lee Eun-ji praised Hyoyeon, saying, "What’s amazing about you is that you took on dance sports in 'Dancing With the Stars Season 2,' did waacking on 'Hit the Stage,' and mastered all dance genres."

    Hyoyeon reminisced, "I was really happy during 'Hit the Stage' because I could show all the genres I could do."

    Younghoon confessed, "When I was young, the only girl group I liked was Girls' Generation. There was no other group, only Girls' Generation."

    He asked, "When will Girls' Generation come together again? Everyone is hoping for it." Hyoyeon responded, "I'm curious too. I want it as well. It's great that all the members are doing well in their respective fields, but aligning our schedules is hard since we're all at different companies. I'm really grateful that SM brought us together last time."

  • 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!
