• BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Reveals What She Would Have Done If She Didn’t Become a Singer—And It's Not What You Think

    BLACKPINK’s Jisoo made an exciting confession during her recent appearance on Yoo In Radio—she revealed that if she hadn’t become a singer, she would have followed a completely different path and pursued a career as a writer!

    On February 13th, the popular online channel Yoo In Radio released an episode featuring Jisoo as a guest. She chatted with host Yoo In Na about various topics, and one question quickly sparked the curiosity of fans.

    When Yoo In Na asked, “If you weren’t a singer, what do you think you’d be doing now?” Jisoo gave a thoughtful response: "I’ve always said I would have been a writer because I think a lot.”

    She even shared that her dream was to become a novelist, admitting she’s always wanted to write stories.

    But when fans joked about her possibly pursuing both singing and writing at the same time, Jisoo laughed and humbly replied, “But there are experts in that field.”

    Fans also asked if Jisoo would ever publish a book, and her response was equally intriguing. Jisoo shared, “Actually, Park Jungmin oppa runs a publishing company, so I jokingly asked him, 'Boss, how about me?'”

    However, she added with a laugh that she wasn’t sure whether she could come up with something creative enough for a book. If she did, she joked, it might be published under a pseudonym!

    The conversation also touched on other fun topics, like Jisoo’s thoughts on superpowers (she would love to have a door that opens to anywhere, just like Doraemon), and her thoughts on canceled plans (she loves when schedules are canceled, especially with friends!).

    Jisoo is gearing up for her big return to music with her new mini-album AMORTAGE, set to drop on February 14th. Fans are eagerly awaiting her solo comeback!

  • Lee Kyung Gyu secretly helped Hong Jin Kyung debut on TV and she didn’t even know for years

    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!
