BTS's Jin is not only known for his charming looks and cooking skills but also his playful humor that keeps fans laughing.

On the 21st, during episode 18 of BTS’s self-produced variety show Run, Seok Jin, Jin teamed up with model and broadcaster Hong Jin Kyung to prepare a special New Year’s lunchbox. But things took a hilarious turn when Jin revealed a funny situation involving Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter, who happens to be a huge fan of Jin.

In the episode, Jin mentioned that he had agreed to a secret shoot, and joked about being ready to “cut ties” with Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter because of her admiration for him. Of course, Jin quickly corrected himself, making the entire crew burst into laughter from the very start!

The pair had a blast cooking traditional Korean dishes like japchae, galbi, and kimchi, all while introducing them to international ARMYs. Jin, who revealed that he cooks 80% of his meals, took charge of the kitchen, showing off his impressive culinary skills. When Hong Jin Kyung playfully asked, “Is it fun to be born this good-looking?” Jin responded with his signature humor, saying, “Yes, it’s fun!”

The laughs continued in a silly game where they mimed animals like a magpie, hamster, and gorilla, leaving everyone in stitches. But what really melted hearts was when Jin decided to give his game winnings to Hong Jin Kyung’s daughter, along with a sweet letter. It was such a thoughtful and touching moment!

Once the lunchboxes were ready, they were delivered to Jin’s close friends, chef Baek Jong Won and actor Lee Yi Kyung, who posted photos and videos to show their appreciation for Jin’s hard work.

It was clear that the lunchboxes were made with love and laughter, leaving fans and friends alike in awe of Jin’s talents and kindness.

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!
