Song Hye Kyo opened up about a moment when she truly felt her seniority in the acting world, and fans can’t stop admiring her grace and popularity!

On the January 22 episode of the podcast "Song Eun Yi, Kim Sook’s Confidential Guarantee", Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Yeo Been shared heartwarming stories about their first meeting and mutual admiration.

Jeon Yeo Been started by recalling her first encounter with the veteran actress at the Blue Dragon Series Awards. "The first time I saw her was when she won the grand prize. My heart fluttered. It was amazing to see someone I admired so much," she shared, expressing her heartfelt admiration.

Song Hye Kyo responded warmly, saying, "It was the same for me. Yeo Been and I have mutual friends who spoke so highly of her. I already liked her so much and was curious about what kind of person she was."

Their connection grew even stronger at the awards show. Song Hye Kyo revealed, "When I saw Yeo Been, she was so beautiful. I wanted to greet her, but since we only knew each other through others, I hesitated. But then she came over and greeted me first, and I felt so grateful."

Jeon Yeo Been didn’t hold back in praising Song Hye Kyo’s incredible popularity. "That day, you won a big award, and I’m not exaggerating—people were lined up, waiting to greet you," she said, showing just how admired Song Hye Kyo is by peers in the industry.

Reflecting on this, Song Hye Kyo joked, "I’ve gotten older. Except for Choi Min Sik and Ha Jung Woo sunbaenims, I was the oldest among the women there. It didn’t hit me until I noticed juniors coming over one by one to greet me. I felt grateful, but I also thought, 'Wow, I’ve really aged!'"

With her timeless beauty and inspiring career, Song Hye Kyo continues to be a role model and icon in the entertainment industry! Fans are loving this sweet exchange between two amazing actresses.

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!
