Girls' Generation's Sooyoung recently opened up about the group's future activities, making fans excited!

On September 9, a video titled "30 Minutes of Nostalgia with SNSD & Super Junior" was posted on the YouTube channel Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk.

In the video, Sooyoung shared some fun stories and talked about the possibility of Girls' Generation coming back as a full group.

Sooyoung mentioned that the members got together to celebrate their 17th debut anniversary. Fans noticed how Yuri showed up in a different outfit than the rest of the group, and Sooyoung explained what happened.

"We always have a dress code when we meet," she said. "This time, it was for Tiffany's birthday, and we all agreed to wear white. Tiffany even sent us a picture from a Kardashian family party for inspiration. But Yuri thought it was black-and-white and just did her own thing," Sooyoung shared with a laugh.

During the conversation, Donghae asked, "Since you meet up so often, why not release an album every once in a while?"

Sooyoung responded, "Girls' Generation has always aimed for high-quality music. The time we spend together is special, and if the album doesn't meet our standards, we’d rather wait and prepare something better."

Fans also wanted to know if they could expect a 20th-anniversary album, and Sooyoung hinted at exciting plans. "Yes, there are only three years left until our 20th anniversary, and I really want to do a tour," she said.

However, she also mentioned that the members' busy schedules make it difficult to plan. "We’ve tried before, but it’s hard to match everyone's schedules," she added.

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!
