Actress Goo Hye Sun recently shared her thoughts on wanting to be number one in everything. On the 24th, she appeared on the KBS 2TV variety show Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together, where she talked with Kim Mi Ryeo, Park Won-sook, and Hye Eun-hee about their personal concerns.

During the show, Kim Mi Ryeo expressed her worries, saying, "I have some realistic concerns. Since I have children, if I don't have work, it really affects me, even when I eat." She added, "If I were alone, I could just call a friend and ask for help. But with kids, it’s more complicated. I feel responsible for my family."

Hye Eun-hee responded by saying, "Thinking 'I have to be the one' can be very dangerous." Kim Mi Ryeo agreed, saying, "It's driving me crazy. I have so many thoughts like that."

Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun explained, "Actually, I need to aim for being number one to even get close to that level." She added, "If I set my goals too low, I end up giving up. I have to declare that I want to be number one to reach my goals."

Park Won-sook then shared her concern for Goo Hye Sun, saying, "You wouldn't realize this without going through some pain. It feels like being hit by the Emile Bell over and over."

She continued, "I can't speak about financial struggles, but I have faced the pain of losing a child. There were times I felt I wasn't a good actress, mother, daughter, or neighbor. I cried for days, feeling like a failure. But that pain helped me break out of my shell. Since then, I’ve found happiness and gratitude every day."

She sincerely advised Goo Hye Sun and Kim Mi Ryeo, saying, "I hope you both can find happiness and comfort instead of just aiming for number one or a doctorate. I say this because I see you both as daughters."

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!
