Actor Choi Daniel recently found himself in a funny yet unexpected controversy after revealing he considered selling a gift from a friend on a secondhand market.

On February 13, a new episode of the YouTube channel 뜬뜬 (Ttunddun) featured Yoo Jae Suk, Han Sang Jin, Jo Se Ho, and Choi Daniel in a candid conversation.

During the talk, Jo Se Ho brought up how Han Sang Jin is famous for giving generous gifts. Han Sang Jin agreed, saying he once bought a friend a padded jacket just because they liked his. Yoo Jae Suk, surprised, joked, "Do you have that much money?"

However, things took a turn when Choi Daniel suddenly said, "But I’ve never received anything." Han Sang Jin was shocked and quickly corrected him.

"What do you mean? I gave you an expensive sofa!" But what came next surprised everyone. He then revealed, "I found out later that he put it up for sale on a secondhand market!"

Yoo Jae Suk was just as stunned and jokingly scolded him, "That’s not okay. How could you list that for sale? I won’t let this slide!"

Looking flustered, Choi Daniel tried to explain, "I did get a sofa worth over 1 million won as a housewarming gift, but I haven’t actually listed it for sale yet." Han Sang Jin quickly interrupted, "But you did ask for my permission to sell it."

Choi Daniel went on to share his side, "I lived in Yongsan for two years, and my house got too cluttered. The sofa is really comfortable, but it’s huge. I thought, ‘Maybe I should sell it and treat him to a nice meal.’"

Yoo Jae Suk was unconvinced. "Do you really think that makes sense?" Han Sang Jin also chimed in, "I bought that for him with a lot of thought."

Trying to clear up the misunderstanding, Choi Daniel added, "I haven’t sold it yet. I’m actually thinking of giving it to a younger colleague because I don’t have space for it."

Jo Se Ho sided with him, saying that sometimes people just need to reorganize their space. Choi Daniel admitted, "That’s true. I was really grateful and used it well, but my new place is smaller. Right now, it’s out on the balcony, and my dogs use it to rest."

Han Sang Jin, still in disbelief, revealed another shocking detail, "It’s only been two years since I bought that sofa. It was basically brand new. But when I visited his house, I didn’t see it anywhere. Turns out it was on the balcony, and his dogs had chewed it all up!"

The unexpected twist had everyone laughing, turning what could’ve been a tense moment into a hilarious one!

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!
