On the upcoming 134th episode of Dasi Gal Ji Do, which airs on November 14, Nichkhun was asked to pick the most visually appealing person at JYP Entertainment. Without hesitation, he chose Park Jin Young, sparking a mix of shock and admiration from the cast and crew.

The special episode, titled "Super Low-Cost Travel Destinations Around the World", features a travel competition between various celebrities.

However, Nichkhun surprises everyone when he declares Park Jin Young as the top visual at JYP, explaining that "personality is what's most important in a person," and that’s why he picked him. His perfect answer leaves the cast amused, with Lee Seok Hoon joking, "This always happens with good-looking people," and Choi Tae Seong agreeing, "He's got everything, so he can say that."

In addition to the fun discussions about Park Jin Young, the episode also features exciting low-cost travel tips, such as a "Lake View" apartment stay in Europe for just 50,000 won, as well as an unbelievable fruit priced at only 1,000 won per kilogram.

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!
