• Daesung Reveals His First Drink Experience on Family Outing: "I Vomited Five Times and Burst a Blood Vessel"

    Daesung opened up about his first experience with alcohol on Family Outing.

    On November 8, Daesung shared a funny yet shocking story in a video on the "Jib Daesung" YouTube channel. During the chat, Ji Chang Wook, Jo Woo Jin, and Ha Yoon Kyung joined as guests.

    The conversation turned to drinking alone when Ha Yoon Kyung shared how she celebrated turning 20 by having her first drink. He recalled, "It was because I could finally go to bars. But I was really nervous. They were checking IDs, and I wasn’t doing anything wrong, but I was still scared. I remember nervously saying, 'I'm an adult.'"

    In response, Daesung admitted, "My first drink was on Family Outing. I drank a lot that time, vomited five times, and even burst a blood vessel. I realized, 'Wow, alcohol can be this scary.' But now, I've grown and I dance while drinking alone. I even talk to myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth."

    Daesung also warned that drinking soju alone can be dangerous, which led to Ji Chang Wook joking, "Isn’t this a bit more dangerous than soju?" Daesung explained, "I talk to myself in the mirror because it makes me feel good."

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
