• Jeon Mi Do Praises Ji Sung: "My Husband Can't Even Compare, It's Almost Religious"

    On July 5th, Jeon Mi Do shared some sweet words about Ji Sung. She said, "My husband can't even hold a candle to him."

    A video titled "Sizzling Talk with Perfect Actors Deeply Entwined with Ji Sung" was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen Nights.' In the video, Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do, who both star in the drama 'Connection,' had a heartwarming chat.

    Ji Sung shared, "I love eating. The best thing with Bo-young is finding yummy food. After having kids, I cook more. Our kids are 9 and 5 years old now," he added, "I can't diet. I cook for the kids and sometimes for myself. When I eat, I can't waste food, so I finish the leftovers."

    He continued, "I sleep at the foot of the bed with my wife and kids. That's just who I am." Ji Sung also told a cute story about his daughter, "My daughter likes to be with popular friends. Once, I used soap bubbles to help her join in. When the kids saw the bubbles, they all came running," he laughed.

    PD Na Young-seok joked with Jeon Mi Do, "Do you compare your husband to Ji Sung?" Ji Sung added, "She has a great relationship with her husband. It's nice to see the love she gets, and she has a lovely energy at work."

    Jeon Mi Do replied, "My husband is very kind too. But when I hear about Ji Sung, I go home and say, 'Ji Sung is like this.' My husband is domestic, but he can't compare to Ji Sung," she praised. "Once, I was having a meal with actors Yoon Na-moo and Jung Soon-won, and Ji Sung's name came up. It's rare to hear anything bad about him; it's almost religious. He is exemplary in every way."

    Ji Sung humbly responded, "I'm not exemplary; I just try harder because I have many flaws."

  • 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!
