SHINee's Minho shared a funny story about his social media followers during a recent appearance on KBS 2TV's The Seasons - Lee Young Ji's Rainbow.

On the November 8 episode, Minho and other guests, including Tomorrow X Together, Touched, UV, Yoo Byung Jae, and Jonathan, discussed their lives and experiences. When asked about his social media habits, Minho explained, “I do the 'Ounwan' (Today’s workout complete) challenge every day. When I don’t have a schedule, I even do it twice or three times a day.” He went on to say, “Some fans followed me out of love, but they got tired of seeing only workouts and unfollowed me," which made everyone laugh.

Minho also opened up about his time in the military. When Lee Young Ji asked if it was hard for someone as passionate as him to endure military life, Minho admitted, “Honestly, I wanted to go through proper training and experience a place where I could burn with passion. But by the second day, I regretted it. I wondered why I chose to suffer through something so difficult. However, it became a precious and valuable experience because I worked hard there.”

Reflecting on his journey, Minho shared, "I thought I had run a long way, but when I look back, I feel like I’ve walked slowly but steadily. I want to continue walking healthily and become an artist who can keep going at my own pace.”

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!
