• Former T-ara Member Ahreum Speaks Out About Boyfriend’s Physical Abuse: "I Won’t Stay Silent Anymore"

    Former T-ara member Ahreum has opened up about her struggles with her boyfriend, Mr. Seo, through an emotional series of posts on Instagram.

    On December 3, Ahreum shared, "I’ve been hit multiple times, and despite that, I endured for the child’s sake and withdrew complaints countless times. The assault footage is still with the police, and it’s a situation where everything can be proven. But I won’t stay silent anymore."

    Ahreum also revealed that she is pregnant. She wrote, "Because of you, I can’t see my children whenever I want. It breaks my heart that there’s another life with your blood inside me, but what can I do? It’s life."

    She expressed frustration about the lack of support during her pregnancy, saying, "You’re the kind of person who would criticize me for taking a break when I’m struggling with morning sickness. I’m filled with guilt toward the baby. Do your best, because I will do everything in my power to bring you down. Not that there’s much more to destroy, but I have nothing left to lose."

    Ahreum also posted screenshots of threatening messages she claims were from Mr. Seo, writing, "You paid a fine because you threatened me like this. Go ahead, try to kill me. Tomorrow, I’ll file a complaint against you for threats. You’ll face judgment in death. Live knowing that. It’s pathetic."

    Ahreum originally joined T-ara in 2012 but left the group in 2013. She married a businessman in 2019 and has two sons. However, she announced last year that she was undergoing a divorce and later revealed her relationship with Mr. Seo. She recently gave birth to her third child.

    Fans are sending messages of support to Ahreum, praising her for speaking out and hoping she finds peace and safety for herself and her children.

  • 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!
