TWICE's Chaeyoung opened up about her changing double eyelids.

On July 13, Chaeyoung appeared in a video titled "A Message from Strawberry Princess Chaeyoung to ONCE?" on Esquire's official channel. ONCE is the name of TWICE's fan club.

Esquire mentioned her "big, round eyes and the double eyelids that create a unique look." Chaeyoung explained, "As I get older, the fat on my eyelids is decreasing, making my eye hollows more noticeable. People say I look more like my mom now."

Chaeyoung even measured her eyes, saying, "The left one is 14.6mm," and confirmed that the right eye was the same length.

Agreeing with the description of having a "mole that creates an ethereal atmosphere," Chaeyoung added, "My signature look includes my lips and a mole." She also noted that her lips are 21.7mm thick.

Chaeyoung shared updates on her recent activities, saying, "We're getting ready for our Japan concert tour in July. I'm trying to eat well and work hard."

TWICE started their fifth world tour, "READY TO BE in JAPAN SPECIAL," with concerts at Osaka's Yanmar Stadium Nagai on July 13 and 14.

The tour will continue with performances at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium on July 20 and 21, and Kanagawa's Nissan Stadium on July 27 and 28. TWICE will be the first overseas female artists to perform at Nissan Stadium.

Before their Nissan Stadium shows, TWICE will release their fifth Japanese studio album, "DIVE," on July 17. This will be their first Japanese album since "Celebrate" almost two years ago.

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!
