BIBI is returning with a new single that blends boldness and emotion!

The talented singer has confirmed that she will release a double single on November 14. This will be the third chapter in her “Love Era” series, following hits like Hongdae R&B and Bamyanggaeng from last year. Fans can expect a mix of bold sounds and emotional depth from the new tracks.

The title track, DERRE, is an R&B song with a catchy beat and BIBI’s distinctive voice. The song explores the emotions of a "tsundere" character—someone who seems cold on the outside but cares deeply inside.

BIBI worked with FRNK, the producer behind NewJeans' hits like OMG and Cookie, on this track. The collaboration resulted in an exciting, youthful sound that perfectly matches BIBI's unique style. The music video is also expected to show off her energetic vibe and emotional acting.

The second track, BURN IT, is another R&B tune, this time featuring DEAN. The romantic track captures the emotions of wanting to hold onto love and is performed with heartfelt emotion.

BIBI was involved in both writing and composing the songs, further highlighting her creative presence. Fans are eagerly awaiting her first new music in 9 months since the success of Bamyanggaeng.

In other news, BIBI will be attending the 9th Asia Artist Awards (AAA 2024) on December 27, held at the IMPACT Challenger Hall in Bangkok, Thailand. The event is hosted by Starnews and Motive Production.

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!
