Actor Lee Jong Won opened up about his dating life and role model during a recent appearance.

On November 4, Lee Jong Won and Kim Sejeong were guests on the show Jjanhan Hyung, where they promoted their new drama Brewing Love on ENA.

When asked by host Jung Ho Cheol if he would go public if he were dating, Lee Jong Won confidently said, "If I were, I would make it public." He then shared his unique take on dating, explaining, "I don’t go all out and shout about love. That’s just not me."

Lee Jong Won revealed that his last relationship was two years ago. He admitted, "I never thought I would feel this way. I found myself wondering, 'How do people do this?'"

He added, "In truth, I haven’t really taken a break from dating in the past two years. While being with someone you love fulfills something, being alone is surprisingly comfortable."

The actor also shared that Mick Jagger, the legendary frontman of the Rolling Stones, is his role model. He said, "The fashion I aim for is similar to that of Mick Jagger from the 60s and 70s. Excluding his private life, he is my role model."

Fans are excited to see more of Lee Jong Won in Brewing Love, which promises to be a fun new drama!

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!
