GFRIEND's Yuju narrowly avoided a dangerous moment on stage, and it left everyone in awe!

On January 9th, GFRIEND appeared on Mnet’s M Countdown to perform their new title track "Season of Memories" from their 10th-anniversary special album.

The group stunned with their powerful and graceful performance, dressed in beautiful white outfits that matched their signature style.

But right after the stage ended, Yuju surprised the audience by showing them her broken high heel. She held it up and joked, “Do you see my fighting spirit?” It turned out that the heel had snapped during the intense performance.

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Yuju handled the situation like a true professional, continuing the dance without missing a beat.

She explained what happened, admitting, “I felt like there was a cliff while I was dancing. Suddenly, I started falling backward.” But thanks to her quick thinking and experience, she saved herself from a serious accident.

The other members praised her, saying, "What would we have done if we had to record again?" and “That was amazing. GFRIEND’s main vocalist can dance even without heels!”

GFRIEND’s Season of Memories album carries a beautiful message that their story will never end. The album includes the title track "Season of Memories" and the B-side "Always".

The members were deeply involved in creating the album, from song selection to themes and choreography, with support from Source Music and HYBE.

It was a performance to remember, and Yuju showed just how strong and skilled she really is!

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!
