Jang Nara confessed that she made the first move on her husband, who is six years younger than her.

On the June 30th broadcast of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy', actress Jang Nara appeared as a guest.

Shin Dong Yup joked with Jang Nara, saying, "You need to take care of your health since you married a husband six years younger. Isn’t he adorable? He was born when I was in kindergarten?"

He added, "SBS played matchmaker for this marriage." Jang Nara explained, "I met my husband while working on the drama 'VIP.' We met there, the drama did well, and we ended up dating and getting married." She mentioned that her husband was the cinematographer.

Jang Nara admitted she made the first move. Shin Dong Yup asked, "What made you want to get closer to him on set? What was it that captivated you?"

Jang Nara replied, "It was clear. He was really good at his job. It was attractive. Even if it wasn't his department, he would rush to help if there were any issues or if extra hands were needed."

Seo Jang Hoon added humorously, "We say this all the time, but there are a lot of hardworking people on set. Among them, something about him kept catching your eye. All the other cinematographers and crew members work hard too," making everyone laugh.

Shin Dong Yup asked about her husband's appearance, "As a celebrity, who does he resemble?" Jang Nara couldn't think of a similar celebrity. When Seo Jang Hoon asked, "Does he have a certain look?" Jang Nara described, "He looks a bit like a handsome donkey."

Jang Nara also shared how she made the first move: "After filming, there were photos taken. I sent one that was at the end of the roll and asked if he had appeared in it. He replied with a question for the first time, asking how I was doing. From then on, I told him I was doing well and enjoyed working with such great people, and that he seemed like a really nice person. Then I just confessed, 'I just like you.'"

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!
