Jeon Somi recently opened up about her hair care struggles.

In an episode of the YouTube channel 'Hyeri' posted on August 16, Somi shared her experience with unexpected hair loss during a candid chat. The video, titled "Getting Swayed by the Chaotic Flirting of an ENFP," featured Somi as a guest.

When asked about her scalp care routine, Somi revealed, "I usually take care of my skin and hair at home. I don’t go to dermatologists; I prefer doing basic care myself."

However, she admitted that her hair had gone through a rough time recently. "During one of my promotions, I had a lot of blow-drying and dyeing done. The dye job didn’t go well, and all my hair broke off," she shared.

The shocking part came when Somi mentioned, "Before that, I even had a bald spot at the back of my head. It was unbelievable, and I was the most depressed I’ve ever been."

Somi explained that the intense styling during promotions left her hair severely damaged. "My hair got so short, and I realized how bad it was. Even when I was running, my hair wouldn’t move. It was stuck to my head like choppy bangs," she said, recalling the difficult time.

To fix the problem, Somi revealed, "I ended up getting a hair extension procedure, which is usually for people with severe hair loss. They attach hair directly to your scalp. After my promotions, I went and got it done, and I also started taking scalp care very seriously."

She added, "I wasn’t the type to take supplements regularly, but after that incident, I knew I had to. Thankfully, my condition has improved now."

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!
