• Choi Ji Woo Jokes About Daughter's Looks, Says "She’ll Have to Get Pretty" on 'The Return of Superman'

    Choi Ji Woo made a funny and somewhat blunt comment about her daughter’s appearance on the latest episode of The Return of Superman.

    On November 13th, the episode featured golf legend Park In Bee, who shared her hopes for her daughter to follow in her footsteps and play golf. This led to Park Soo Hong asking Choi Ji Woo what she would do if her child wanted to become an actress.

    Choi Ji Woo responded with uncertainty, saying, "I don’t know," which made Park Soo Hong ask if acting wasn’t something she liked.

    Choi Ji Woo then jokingly said, "Acting is great, but she’ll have to get pretty, right? Is acting for just anyone?" This caused everyone to laugh, and Ahn Young Mi jokingly called her "Choi Tiwoo" in response to her blunt remark.

    When Park Soo Hong, hoping for the best, said, "She has her mom’s genes," meaning her daughter would resemble Choi Ji Woo, the actress humorously replied, "Will she be better than me? Should we hope for that?"

    Ahn Young Mi also chimed in with, "Beauty standards are different," supporting Park Soo Hong’s hopeful comment about her daughter’s future.

  • 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!
