• (G)I-DLE's Soyeon: "My Dream is to Get Married and Become a Mom. A Man Without Money? Even Better."

    Soyeon from (G)I-DLE shared her big dream of becoming a mom.

    On July 9, a video titled "(G)I-DLE's Drinking Interview" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Insaeng84'. In this video, Soyeon and Miyeon from (G)I-DLE talked about various things.

    Kian84 asked Miyeon if she thought about acting. Soyeon said, "We'll work as a team. It would be great if my sister acts while we're still a team." Miyeon replied, "I'm the main vocalist, and I love singing."

    Soyeon also said, "I write songs, so I want to produce in the future. I want to stay an idol for as long as I can. If I don't have to make way for younger idols, I want to keep going. My ultimate dream is to be a mom. I wanted kids at 28, but time flies." She added, "My ideal type is someone without ambition and greed. I like someone who looks for happiness. It's better if he doesn't have money. I'm very ambitious and greedy, so we can't both be like that."

    Miyeon added, "I can't say if I'm dating or not, but there is no dating ban in our contract. My ideal type is a perfect person because I am a perfect person." Kian84 commented, "No one is perfect. Even if Miyeon seems perfect outside, there might be something inside."

    About making hit songs, Soyeon said, "It's like a regular job. You do what you have to do. When lyrics flow, I don't feel like I'm in a slump. Most of the time, I'm in a slump. But if you keep writing, a good song will come out."

    Miyeon talked about her school days, saying, "I was quiet and wore green glasses. Popular people don't know they're popular. I decided to be an idol because I was good at singing. I used to record myself with a microphone on the computer and thought I was good."

    Soyeon added, "I was good at dancing since I was young. I got eliminated from 'Produce 101', but thanks to that, I met (G)I-DLE members, so I have no regrets."

    On July 8, (G)I-DLE released their 7th mini-album 'I SWAY'. This new album came out six months after their 2nd full album '2' in January. It has four songs: the title track 'Klaxon', 'Last Forever', 'Bloom', and 'Neverland'.

    (G)I-DLE worked on all the songs, showing they are a 'self-producing idol' group.

  • 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!
