• Lee Seung Gi and MC Mong Make Surprise Appearances in BE’O’s ‘Criminal’ MV

    Singer BE’O has just dropped his latest song, “Criminal.” On July 2 at 6 PM, BE’O released his digital single album “Criminal,” along with an accompanying music video.

    In the MV, BE’O stands out as he struggles to fit in among a group of formally dressed people, feeling isolated.

    Amidst cold glares and mockery, it’s MC Mong who extends a comforting hand to BE’O. As they share a drink, BE’O opens up, breaking free from his constraints and embracing his true self. Inspired by BE’O’s courage, others remove their metaphorical masks and join the celebration.

    What’s particularly eye-catching is the cameo appearance by singer and actor Lee Seung Gi at the end of the video.

    Interestingly, Lee Seung Gi recently joined Big Planet Made Entertainment, the same agency as BE’O. In the music video, Lee Seung Gi acknowledges MC Mong, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the storyline.

    Big Planet Made Entertainment, home to BE’O, also represents other talented artists like Taemin, Lee Mu-jin, VIVIZ (Eunha, SinB, Umji), Ha Sung-woon, Ren, Huh Gak, performance director Kasper, Kani, singer and actor Lee Seung Gi, entertainer Lee Soo-geun, and the rookie girl group BADVILLAIN.

  • 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!
