Actor Ji Chang Wook opened up about his kiss scene with singer BIBI (Kim Hyung Seo).

On the August 12 episode of "Jjanhyung," featuring the cast of the movie "Revolver," including Ji Chang Wook, Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Jong Soo, and Kim Jun Han, the conversation turned to Ji Chang Wook’s on-screen kiss with BIBI.

When asked if he had grown close to anyone recently, Ji Chang Wook shared, "I’ve become really close with the people I worked with on 'The Worst of Evil.' We’re all about the same age, so we hang out a lot."

Jung Ho Cheol then brought up that Ji Chang Wook was BIBI’s first kiss scene partner, saying, "It looked pretty intense." This led Lim Ji Yeon to curiously ask, "Did BIBI say she liked it?"

Ji Chang Wook honestly replied, "Rather than enjoying it, filming these kinds of scenes is actually pretty tough. Scenes with physical contact, especially ones that require a certain level of intimacy, make you more nervous and stressed."

Shin Dong Yup jokingly added, "Isn’t method acting necessary? The audience should really feel it." To this, Ji Chang Wook responded, "With method acting, it’s not like you actually commit a crime when filming a murder scene. It’s just acting. We all understand it’s part of the job."

Lim Ji Yeon continued, "BIBI hasn’t acted much, and this was her first kiss scene, right?" Ji Chang Wook, a bit surprised, responded, "So, should I have asked BIBI, ‘Did you like it?’"

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!
