    ASTRO member Cha Eun Woo made news again by attending Psy's 'Summer Swag' show after his appearance at 'Waterbomb.'

    On July 24th, Cha Eun Woo shared photos from the event with the caption "Summer Swag." He joined Psy and actor Park Ji Hwan to support the show's opening video.

    The opening video featured Cha Eun Woo at the 'Summer Swag' event, participating in the countdown, which caught people's attention.

    Cha Eun Woo dressed in blue and wore transparent goggles to match the event's theme. He attended with ASTRO members MJ and Yoon San Ha, adding to the event’s lively vibe.

    Psy commented on Cha Eun Woo's post, saying, "If there’s a rescheduled show, you should come again!!" The comment was well-received by fans.

    Psy's 'Summer Swag' show, held on July 20th at Seoul Grand Park’s parking lot, was cut short after one hour due to heavy rain and strong winds. The bad weather caused stage banners and lights to fall.

    Psy's agency, P Nation, said they canceled the show to keep everyone safe. They will process ticket refunds through the booking agency and announce details about rescheduled shows for ticket holders soon.

  • 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!
