Go Min Si made a big impression as a new intern

On the June 28 episode of tvN's 'Jinny's Kitchen Season 2', Go Min Si joined as a new intern.

When she arrived, CEO Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yumi, Park Seo Joon, and Choi Woo Shik were surprised. Lee Seo Jin asked Jung Yumi, "Who is she? Where is she from?"

Choi Woo Shik, who was waiting for the new intern, joked, "Shall we start the interview?" Lee Seo Jin then asked Go Min Si, "Have you ever thought, 'I could do well if I went there'?"

Go Min Si shared her experience, saying, "I can serve and wash dishes well. I've worked part-time at a barbecue restaurant and a café. Before debuting, I attended an acting academy while working part-time at a café."

Producer Na Young Seok added, "She actually worked at a company before becoming an actress." When Go Min Si mentioned she had worked as a wedding planner, Na Young Seok said, "She was very suitable for organizational work and was the fastest to get promoted in that organization."

Choi Woo Shik asked, "Do you cook?" Go Min Si replied, "I've been practicing cooking recently. I don't think you'll make me cook; it will likely be done by the director or manager." Lee Seo Jin, impressed by her social skills, smiled broadly, surprising Park Seo Joon with his rare expression.

Choi Woo Shik, worried, said, "If she got promoted the fastest, what should I do?" Lee Seo Jin pointed at Choi Woo Shik and said, "He is the one who gets promoted the slowest in this group."

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!
