Park Hae Rin is making waves as the "female catfish" in Netflix's popular reality show Single's Inferno 4!

In episodes 5 and 6, released on the 21st, Park Hae Rin joined the cast as the show’s ultimate game-changer. Her appearance turned heads and stirred up excitement among the contestants.

Introducing herself, Park Hae Rin shared, "If I had to describe my personality in one word, I’d say I’m cool and quick to accept things. But I also have a lot of aegyo (cute charm) and a sweet side. My attractive points are my tall height and incredible proportions."

She continued, "I’m very outgoing, so on the outside, I might seem like a bulldozer. But when I’m around someone I like, I get really nervous and clumsy. When I flirt and see the other person blush, their face turning red, it makes my heart race."

Her charms didn’t go unnoticed. Male contestant Kim Jung Soo couldn’t hide his admiration, saying, "She looks exotic and truly beautiful. Isn’t she the most stunning?" Even MC Dex commented, "She brings a vibe that the previous participants didn’t have."

But who is Park Hae Rin beyond the show? She’s not just a captivating presence on Single's Inferno — she’s also a former idol trainee who transitioned into acting.

In 2017, Park Hae Rin appeared on JTBC's audition program MIXNINE, where she caught attention for her resemblance to the late actress Olivia Hussey. Although she didn’t make it far in the competition, she was set to debut as part of FAVEGIRLS before the group’s plans fell through.

Since then, she’s focused on acting, appearing in dramas like Tarot: Seven Stories (also known as Tarot) and When Silver Bells Ring. Fans of Tarot might remember her performance in the episode titled "Please Throw Me Away," where she acted alongside Dex, showing off their on-screen chemistry.

From her idol trainee days to becoming a rising star in the acting world, Park Hae Rin is a name you won’t want to forget!

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!
