• TWS's First U.S. Visit a Hit: 'Global Spin Live' Tickets Sell Out Fast

    TWS (TOURS) has made a big splash with their first U.S. visit, selling out tickets for the 'Global Spin Live' event in record time.

    On July 19th, Pledis Entertainment announced that tickets for TWS's performance at the GRAMMY Museum's 'Global Spin Live Series' sold out quickly after going on sale. The event will take place on August 1st (local time) at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles.

    'Global Spin Live' is a series that features global artists at the GRAMMY Museum, with performances and interviews. TWS will be performing their hit songs like 'First Meeting Doesn't Go as Planned' and 'If I'm S, You Be My N'. They'll also share their thoughts on their first U.S. visit.

    The performance will take place on the rooftop (Ray Charles Terrace) instead of the usual Clive Davis Theater, making it a unique event.

    TWS will also attend the pre-opening of the 'HYBE: We Believe In Music, A GRAMMY Museum Exhibit' at the GRAMMY Museum on the same day. The exhibit, running from August 2nd to September 14th, will showcase HYBE and its artists' musical achievements from the American music industry's perspective.

    Fans can catch TWS's 'Global Spin Live' performance later on the GRAMMY Museum's website and YouTube.

    With their U.S. debut, TWS is set to connect with music fans around the world through this exciting event.

  • 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!
