The girl group KISS OF LIFE, made up of Juli, Bell, Natti, and Haneul, is back with a new album, and they couldn’t be happier! On October 15, they held a showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their third mini-album, Lose Yourself, which dropped on major online music platforms at 6 PM.

During the event, Juli shared her thoughts, saying, "This summer, we received so much love for 'Sticky,' so we prepared this album with even more gratitude." It’s clear that the group's recent success has inspired them, and they are excited to give back to their fans with this new music.

Lose Yourself explores the theme of finding freedom and connection, a journey that ties together their music from their debut until now. The album features seven tracks, including the title song "Get Loud." This catchy track mixes hip-hop rhythms with Latin vibes and is filled with powerful guitar riffs. The members' strong vocals and rap shine throughout the song, which tells the story of artists chasing their dreams and discovering new sides of themselves.

What’s even more exciting is that member Bell took part in writing the songs, showing off her growing musical talent. Fans have loved her previous work, including their hits like "Shhh," "Hello, Neverland," and "Te Quiero," and now she’s ready to take them on another musical journey.

The album also includes the dreamy pre-released track "R.E.M," along with the groovy "Chemistry," and the edgy "Igloo." Each song highlights the group's charm and musical diversity, covering genres like R&B, hip-hop, and EDM dance-pop. The emotional rock track "Back To Me" and "No One But Us," which reflects on memories and longing, add depth to the album.

As KISS OF LIFE prepares for this comeback, their excitement is contagious. They hope fans will feel their passion and gratitude through their new music. With Lose Yourself, it’s clear they’re ready to show the world just how much they’ve grown as artists. Are you excited to listen to their new album?

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!
