Lee Jun Ho has made history as the first and only Korean Piaget Global Ambassador, marking the occasion by co-hosting the prestigious Piaget 150th anniversary gala dinner in Seoul.

On November 26 and 27, Piaget held its high jewelry event, Essence of Extraleganza, to celebrate 150 years of the brand. The event took place at the Korean Furniture Museum and the Grand Walkerhill Hotel Seoul. On the 26th, Lee Jun Ho shared the stage with Piaget's global CEO, Benjamin Comar, to host the gala dinner, making a memorable impression as Piaget’s first-ever Korean ambassador.

At the event, Lee Jun Ho looked stunning, wearing a timepiece and a sapphire brooch that caught everyone's attention. His elegant presence and relaxed charisma stood out, and he even took the time to approach fans at the event, snapping photos with them as a thank-you for their support.

Earlier this year, Lee Jun Ho attended Piaget's 150th anniversary event and gala dinner in Paris in June, and his return for the Seoul event further spotlighted his growing global presence.

Looking ahead to 2025, Lee Jun Ho will continue his global journey with his fan concert tour, 2025 Lee Junho FAN-CON . The tour will kick off in Incheon on January 25-26, 2025, followed by stops in Tokyo on February 8-9, and São Paulo on March 1-2 (local time).

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!
