Jung Woo Sung’s heartfelt apology at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards has become a hot topic, not just for his words but for the contrasting reactions of actors Lim Ji Yeon and Hyeri during the event.

On November 29, Jung Woo Sung joined 12.12: The Day co-star Hwang Jung Min to present the Most Popular Film award.

When their film won, Jung Woo Sung took the opportunity to address the ongoing controversy surrounding his out-of-wedlock child.

In his speech, Jung Woo Sung said:

"I apologize for causing disappointment and concern. I will accept all criticism and fulfill my responsibilities as a father."

The audience responded with warm applause, including many stars in attendance. Cameras caught Im Ji Yeon, who works under the same agency as Jung Woo Sung, clapping enthusiastically. However, Hyeri, seated nearby, appeared more reserved, with her reaction sparking debates online.

Some netizens supported Im Ji Yeon’s show of encouragement, while others felt Hyeri’s composed response was more appropriate.

Comments flooded social media, with fans divided over whether Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction was too supportive or Hyeri’s too cold.

Jung Woo Sung’s personal life has been under scrutiny since he acknowledged having a child with 35-year-old model Moon Gabi without being in a relationship or married.

The controversy deepened with leaked photos, rumors of a secret long-term relationship, and allegations of sending flirtatious DMs.

While Jung Woo Sung’s bold acknowledgment and apology have earned respect from some, the ongoing debates prove that his story continues to divide opinions.

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!
