• NewJeans’ Minji Shares Her “Cute Worry” About Age Gap with Eunwoo: “Should I Be Called ‘Aunt’? I Thought About It for a Month”

    NewJeans' Minji recently shared a "cute worry" about her age gap with Eunwoo, sparking laughter and warm moments on The Return of Superman.

    In the November 27th episode, Minji met Kim Junho’s two sons, Eunwoo and Jeongwoo, and helped them prepare kimchi. During the segment, Minji shared her dilemma about the 17-year age difference with Eunwoo, revealing, "I’ve been thinking about it for a month before the shoot. Should I be called 'noona' (older sister) or 'imo' (aunt) by Eunwoo?" Her funny concern got a laugh from everyone around her.

    Thankfully, Eunwoo quickly put her mind at ease. When Kim Junho asked him, "Do you want to call her noona, or do you want to call her imo?" Eunwoo answered right away, "Noona!"

    Eunwoo then asked Minji, "What’s your name?" and when she told him, "I’m Minji," he excitedly called out, "Minji noona!" showing off his sweet charm.

    The cute moments didn’t stop there—Eunwoo and Jeongwoo instantly sat on Minji’s lap when she invited them, surprising Kim Junho, who said, "They usually have a bit of stranger anxiety and don’t go to people easily at first..."

  • 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!
