The movie Love in the Big City is gaining attention for its memorable quotes from the character Jae-hee, played by Kim Go Eun. These lines are inspiring fans to watch the film again. The story follows Jae-hee, a free-spirited woman who doesn’t care what others think, and Heung-soo (played by Noh Sang-hyun), who prefers to keep his distance from the world.

One standout moment happens when Jae-hee responds to Heung-soo's question about love. She says, “Honestly, I don’t know how much I have to like someone to call it love. But I want to see you.” This honest and simple expression of longing reveals her pure feelings. Jae-hee adds, “Love is too abstract and difficult, but ‘I want to see you’ is very clear,” showing the complexity of love in a way that resonates with many viewers.

Another powerful line comes when Jae-hee reflects on her past while talking to Heung-soo. He shares a story about his high school crush and how his mother reacted when she found out. In response, Jae-hee talks about her own experience of being bullied for being “different,” saying, “People feel comfortable thinking that what’s different from them is inferior. They don’t even realize that it’s their own inferiority complex.” This critique of societal prejudice against individuality strikes a chord with the audience.

In a final impactful scene, Jae-hee stands up to a coworker who makes a joke at a work event. When the coworker says, “You seem gay,” Jae-hee boldly replies, “What does being gay even mean?” This confrontation challenges the casual discrimination in the remark. When the coworker brushes it off, saying it’s trivial, Jae-hee responds, “Can’t you just think that it might mean everything to him?” Her assertiveness highlights the importance of acknowledging issues related to the LGBTQ+ community, providing a powerful moment for viewers.

Love in the Big City is currently in theaters nationwide, captivating audiences with its heartfelt messages and strong performances.

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!
