The much-anticipated press conference for the movie It's a Fairy Tale but Rated R has been suddenly canceled!

On December 10, the production team revealed the shocking news: "The press conference for It's a Fairy Tale but Rated R, originally scheduled for December 12 at 11 AM, has been canceled due to internal circumstances."

It's a Fairy Tale but Rated R is a comedy film about a woman named Danbi, who dreams of becoming a children's book author but works as an adult content enforcement officer. She unexpectedly discovers her talent for writing provocative 19+ web novels.

Directed by Lee Jong Suk, known for his work on The Negotiation (2018), the movie features Park Ji Hyun as Danbi, making her comedic debut. Joining her is Choi Siwon, known for his comedic roles, playing Jeongseok, an officer dealing with a mid-life slump. Veteran actor Sung Dong Il plays Hwang, a key figure in the adult web novel industry.

But this isn’t the only movie facing delays. It's Okay, It's Okay, It's Okay! has also postponed its release. Distributor By4M Studio confirmed, "The film, which was supposed to premiere on December 24, has been pushed back to ensure it reaches audiences under better circumstances." As a result, the media screening and press interviews with stars like Lee Rae and Jin Seo Yeon, set for December 12, have also been canceled.

This situation seems to be linked to the ongoing political instability in South Korea. Recently, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, which was later lifted, but tensions remain high. As a result, some members of the film industry have called for drastic actions to resolve the situation.

The political climate is definitely affecting the entertainment world, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how this will impact the film industry’s upcoming releases. Stay tuned for more updates!

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!
