Actor Lee Jung Jae shared a glimpse of his close friendship with fellow actor Jang Dong Gun.

On October 7, Lee Jung Jae took to Instagram to post about his attendance at the VIP premiere of Ordinary Family, directed by Hur Jin Ho. Along with a short caption, "At the 'Ordinary Family' premiere," he uploaded a selfie with the film's lead actor, Jang Dong Gun.

The photo quickly caught attention as it showed two of Korea's most famous "handsome" stars, Lee Jung Jae and Jang Dong Gun, side by side. Fans were excited to see them together again, as the two had previously worked together on the 2005 film Typhoon. Despite the years, their looks remain just as stunning.

In addition to Jang Dong Gun, Lee Jung Jae also took selfies with other celebrities at the event, like actor Lee Min Ho and Super Junior’s Choi Siwon.

But what really got fans talking was Lee Jung Jae’s relaxed approach to his selfies. Known for his "handsome guy" status, he didn’t seem to be trying too hard to get the perfect shot. The blurry camera lens added a humorous touch, leading netizens to joke about his casual attitude toward taking photos. Some left comments like, “Do good-looking people not care about selfies? Why take it like this?” and “Hyung, you need to wipe your lens.”

Despite the playful teasing, it’s clear Lee Jung Jae doesn’t need to put in much effort to impress. His natural charm shines through, even when the photos are far from perfect. It’s this carefree attitude that fans love, proving that he doesn’t need flawless selfies to show his cool and confidence.

Jang Dong Gun’s movie Ordinary Family is set to hit theaters on October 16, while fans can look forward to seeing Lee Jung Jae in Squid Game Season 2, which premieres on Netflix this December.

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!
