Actress Lim Ji Yeon caught everyone’s eye at the media premiere of the movie 'Revolver' on July 31 at the Megabox COEX Dolby Cinema in Gangnam, Seoul.

Known for her roles in dramas like 'The Glory' and 'Lies Hidden in My Garden,' Lim Ji Yeon is making a buzz with her return to the big screen.

At the premiere, she wore a white lingerie dress that perfectly balanced innocence and sensuality, grabbing everyone’s attention.

'Revolver' is about 'Soo-young' (played by Jeon Do Yeon), a former cop who takes the fall for crimes and ends up in prison. After her release, she has one goal in mind. Lim Ji Yeon plays Yoon-sun, a character whose true intentions are unclear.

Talking about her role, Lim Ji Yeon said, "I wore flashy clothes to contrast with Soo-young’s character. I didn’t set a specific tone for my acting and reacted based on how I felt in the moment. This helped highlight Yoon-sun’s charm, which is different from Soo-young’s."

Lim Ji Yeon, who has worked with stars like Song Hye-kyo and Kim Tae-hee, was asked about her chemistry with Jeon Do Yeon. She said, "Most of my roles have been antagonistic, but with Soo-young and Yoon-sun, I hoped we would seem like 'fantastic partners.' Don’t you think we matched well?" she added with a smile.

The premiere was attended by Lim Ji Yeon, Jeon Do Yeon, Ji Chang Wook, and director Oh Seung Wook. 'Revolver' is set to be released on August 7.

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!
