• 'Singles Inferno' star Lee Kwan Hee wants to date Yoon Ha Jung again, but this time without cameras

    Lee Kwan Hee, a professional basketball player for 14 years, had a sweet phone call with his Single's Inferno 'former love interest' Yoon Ha Jung.

    On the 29th, the 305th episode of MBC's variety show 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' showed Lee Kwan Hee's off-season life. He has gained popularity through 'Single’s Inferno 3.'

    While heading to the gym, Lee Kwan Hee called Yoon Ha Jung, his former love interest from 'Single’s Inferno 3.' Before the call, he joked, "Even the ringtone is outdated," making viewers laugh with his playful comment.

    When Yoon Ha Jung said she had slept in until 11 AM, Lee Kwan Hee teasingly replied, "You drank again last night," to which Yoon Ha Jung responded, "I can't believe this. Does it seem like Ha Jung hasn't gotten over me?" referencing a surprising remark Lee Kwan Hee made about her before.

    Lee Kwan Hee, unfazed, said, "It's true. If you weren't over me, why do you call me every night?" This unexpected comment made Yoon Ha Jung flustered.

    She retorted, "When did I ever call you every night? That's a problem you have," and Lee Kwan Hee, playfully apologizing, said, "Sorry, I shouldn't say things like that. Let's go on a proper date without cameras," before ending the call with a flirtatious note.

    Later, Lee Kwan Hee had a workout session with former mixed martial artist and broadcaster Choo Sung Hoon, Kim Dong Hyun, and Amoetti, the winner of Netflix’s 'Physical 100' Season 2.

    Lee Kwan Hee's off-season manager, Baek Jong Ho, explained, "We often gather to work out together. Sweating together helps us bond quickly, so members of the same agency often have these workout gatherings."

    During the workout, Lee Kwan Hee shared that he had recently started boxing. He boasted, "After about a week of training, I sparred and defeated people who had been training for years, almost causing the gym to close down," making everyone laugh.

    Choo Sung Hoon then asked for a demonstration of shadow boxing, and after watching, humorously asked, "Which gym did you learn that from?" prompting more laughter from everyone.

  • 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!
