EXO's Suho is having a fantastic time on his first solo Asia tour!

After his Seoul show in May, Suho continued his tour with concerts in Manila on June 22, Hong Kong on July 6, Taipei on July 13, and most recently, Bangkok on July 20. His tour is called '2024 SUHO CONCERT .’

At these concerts, Suho performed all the songs from his third mini-album, including the two title tracks 'Dot Line Surface' and 'Cheese (Feat. Wendy),' as well as 'Mayday,' 'Wishful Thinking,' 'Moonlight,' 'Alright Alright (Feat. Giriboy),' and 'Zero Gravity.'

Suho also showed off his guitar skills, playing electric guitar on 'Morning Star' and 'Decanting,' and acoustic guitar on 'Love, Let's Do It' and 'O2.' The final song of the encore, 'Made In You,' where Suho sang with his fans, got a great reaction.

For each concert, Suho had fans dress in specific colors: Blue in Manila, Red in Hong Kong, White in Taipei, and Purple in Bangkok.

Fans stuck to these colors and even organized slogan events with messages like 'Thai EXO-Ls will be forever by Suho’s side for 12 years and beyond,' 'With SUHO, this is our HOME,' and 'Joonmyun is our harvest happiness,' which touched Suho deeply.

Suho's Asia tour will keep going with upcoming shows in Kuala Lumpur on July 28 and Jakarta on August 10.

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!
