BIBI had everyone in stitches on Knowing Bros when she shared hilarious stories about how her family brags about her.

On the January 25th episode of JTBC’s Knowing Bros, BIBI appeared alongside Park Nam Jung, STAYC's Sieun, Shin Shin, and Kiss of Life's Bel, as well as Kim Na Kyung from tripleS. The episode was filled with laughs, especially when BIBI opened up about her family’s proud moments.

The conversation started with Kang Ho Dong bringing up BIBI’s hit song “Bam Yanggaeng,” which led BIBI to joke, “I only have 'Bam Yanggaeng.’” Min Kyung Hoon also mentioned her collaboration with Wooju Hipjjang in “Hanlyang,” and BIBI playfully admitted, “It really helped my career,” making everyone laugh.

When Kim Hee Chul recalled how he tried to book BIBI for a performance, BIBI humorously shared, “You didn’t need to do that. If you just said, ‘Come sing,’ I would have said, ‘Yes, of course,’ because I was really struggling back then,” which cracked up the cast.

Then came the fun part! Kang Ho Dong joked about BIBI’s growing fame, saying, “After ‘Bam Yanggaeng,’ you won’t be able to handle the popularity when you go back to your hometown.”

That’s when BIBI spilled the beans on her family’s proud reactions. She shared a funny story about her grandmother, who is very proper but can’t help but brag about her.

“When ‘Bam Yanggaeng’ comes out, she says, ‘I really like BIBI. Isn’t ‘Bam Yanggaeng’ hot these days?’” BIBI’s impression of her grandmother had everyone in stitches.

BIBI also revealed that her dad, who works at a travel agency, loves showing off her success to his customers.

She mimicked her father’s accent saying, “It’s Vietnam, but they want to hear BIBI’s voice,” and then added, “When there are customers, he says, ‘Our customers want to hear BIBI’s voice,’” causing even more laughter from the cast.

The conversation took a sweet turn when BIBI shared how her mom quietly asks for her autograph, and how people now call her BIBI instead of her real name, Hyungseo.

But the family bragging didn’t stop there—BIBI also revealed that her family talks about her younger sister, Kim Na Kyung, who is gaining popularity. Kim Na Kyung joked, “I do too. I’ve become a bit hot recently,” referencing her own rise in fame.

BIBI also mentioned that her dad is a huge fan of tripleS, the group her sister is part of. Kim Na Kyung shared with a laugh, “My dad talks more about the other members than about me,” revealing her dad’s “fan obsession.”

BIBI’s family moments and hilarious impressions had everyone laughing, making this Knowing Bros episode one to remember!

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!
