Actor Lee Do Hyun has made a surprise appearance in Belgium!

On October 3 (local time), Lee Do Hyun attended a military band performance in a park in Brussels. He is currently serving in the Air Force military band.

The event featured around 50 military band members and about 10 dancers from the National Heritage Promotion Agency, all set up as a busking performance. Despite not being heavily promoted, the show attracted around 300 people.

During the performance,Lee Do Hyun and the band played various genres, including traditional Korean music and K-pop, for about an hour. He didn’t just play his part in the band; he also co-hosted the event, showing off his hidden singing skills that impressed the crowd.

After the show, Lee Do Hyun shared with Yonhap News, "This is my first time in Europe. Although the performance content was scripted, I was genuinely worried whether the audience would connect with the music since I am not familiar with Belgian culture. However, I was surprised and grateful that they enjoyed our performance much more than I expected."

Lee Do Hyun was also invited to the international competition section of the Brussels International Film Festival this year for his movie The Burial, which attracted around 11.91 million viewers.

On October 5 and 6, he will take part in the 11th Belgium International Military Music Festival held in the port city of Ostend.

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!
