A kiss photo featuring Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook from the upcoming tvN drama My Dearest Nemesis has been leaked, and fans are going wild!

On January 15th, the My Dearest Nemesis team explained to My Daily that the photos weren’t part of any official promotion.

They clarified, "This is not a promotional poster we released. The vendor uploaded it", adding, "It’s true the photos were leaked, but we can't get into details. They are part of the broadcast content".

The photos in question started making waves online on January 14th when a netizen shared them on social media.

The user wrote, "I saw the four photos of Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook in Sinchon! How can they be this cute?! Their chemistry is amazing. I’m so excited!"

The post included a poster with the four images showing the couple looking absolutely adorable in matching all-black outfits. The most talked-about shot is of the two sharing a kiss, sparking even more buzz.

The netizen also mentioned that My Dearest Nemesis would premiere in February, which led many to believe the kiss photo was part of a promotional campaign for the drama.

However, the My Dearest Nemesis team quickly cleared up the confusion, confirming that the photos were not meant for promo and were instead leaked by the photo booth vendor.

My Dearest Nemesis is an upcoming romantic fantasy based on a popular webtoon by Hye Jin Yang. The story revolves around Baek Soo Jung (Moon Ga Young), a "head of the department killer" struggling with her past, and Ban Ju Yeon (Choi Hyun Wook), a chaebol heir with a mysterious black dragon in his heart.

The drama will premiere on February 17th at 8:50 PM.

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!
