Lovelyz member Lee Mi Joo has seemingly confirmed her breakup with soccer player Song Bum Geun, and fans are noticing how she’s dealing with it in her own way!

On the February 14 episode of KBS Joy’s 20th Century Hit Song, the theme was "Let’s Break Up! The Most Decisive Breakup Songs."

While discussing the topic, Lee Mi Joo shared, "I can’t break up decisively. I feel like all the songs today will be ones I can’t relate to."

Her words caught attention, especially since rumors about her breakup with Song Bum Geun had been circulating since January.

Although her agency, Antenna, previously stated it was "a private matter," Mi Joo herself seems to be subtly acknowledging the split.

Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul, who was also on the show, lightened the mood with a funny dating story. "I once booked a famous oyster soup restaurant for my girlfriend’s birthday because she loved oysters," he shared, making everyone burst into laughter.

The discussion soon turned to post-breakup habits, including what to do with gifts and photos from an ex.

Kim Hee Chul firmly stated, "You shouldn’t keep things from a past relationship," but Mi Joo had a different approach. "I keep photos for a long time and erase them slowly," she admitted.

However, fans quickly noticed that Mi Joo had already deleted her ‘Lovestagram’ posts with Song Bum Geun, fueling more breakup speculation.

Lee Mi Joo and Song Bum Geun publicly confirmed their relationship in April last year, with Song being three years younger than her.

While they seemed to be going strong, things reportedly ended recently, and now, Mi Joo’s words and actions seem to confirm it.

Although she’s not one to erase memories instantly, it looks like she’s taking things at her own pace!

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!
