Actors Jung Hae In and Jung So Min proved just how close they are.

On August 13, they appeared on the web variety show 'Salon Drip 2' alongside their co-star Kim Ji Eun from the tvN drama "Love Next Door".

Jung Hae In shared that he quickly became informal with the cast from the start. When host Jang Do Yeon asked if he ever crossed the line with his co-stars, he confidently replied, "Never."

Jung So Min jokingly shot back, "Isn't crossing the line something others should decide?" Jung Hae In laughed and responded, "But you often cross it on set," making everyone chuckle.

He went on to describe a recent moment on set, saying, "Yesterday, it felt like our roles switched. There was some intense physical contact, like a leg being thrown over."

Jung So Min quickly defended herself, "That happened because you made the first move, and you're intimidatingly tall," even demonstrating a krump dance move to lighten the mood.

Jung Hae In responded, "When did I do that? You started it with your words, and when I came closer, you started kicking," leaving Jung So Min a bit flustered.

"Love Next Door" is a romantic drama about a woman trying to start over after many mistakes and the unpredictable journey she shares with her mother's friend's son, who reminds her of her past. The show is set to premiere on August 17.

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!
