Comedian Ahn Young Mi shared her frustration with SHINee's Key.

On the August 3rd episode of tvN's variety show 'Amazing Saturday,' Ahn Young Mi and Ji Ye Eun appeared as guests.

During the show, Ahn Young Mi said, "I'm here to scold Key." She claimed that Key had interfered with her efforts to popularize her signature 'chest dance.'

Ahn Young Mi explained, "I've been promoting the chest dance for over 10 years. Taeyeon even copied it, and I was so honored. How amazing that K-pop star Taeyeon did the chest dance. But then Key stopped her. I was so angry and wondered what he was doing."

Key responded, "I do the chest dance too. But I wanted to protect Taeyeon a bit as her junior. I'm open-minded. I even danced the chest dance with Ahn Young Mi noona at a wedding 10 years ago."

Ahn Young Mi added, "Key and I danced together at a wedding. Then he stopped Taeyeon, which made me feel betrayed," and continued, "I wish 50 million Koreans would do the chest dance together like in an Indian movie. Let's do a chest dance flash mob," surprising everyone.

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!
