Super Junior’s Kim Heechul didn’t hold back when teasing Eunhyuk about his post-SM Entertainment life!

On the February 15 episode of JTBC’s Knowing Bros (Episode 469), Eunhyuk made an early surprise appearance to promote his solo album.

As the cast entered the classroom, they were shocked to see people already inside, all dressed in white.

Kim Heechul looked confused at first, but then spotted Eunhyuk in the back. Seo Janghoon greeted him with a laugh, calling him “Jukbang Anchovy”—a playful nickname.

Eunhyuk then took the stage to perform his solo track “UP N DOWN” from his album “EXPLORER”, with Shindong and Jay Black joining him.

After the performance, Kim Heechul jokingly exposed Eunhyuk, saying, “This guy is something else. He left SM, started a company with Donghae, but they don’t even have a practice room."

He added, "So they end up using SM’s practice room, dragging Shindong along. And even the coffee they drink is from SM!”

His hilarious comments had everyone laughing, proving that even after leaving SM, Eunhyuk still can’t let go of some perks!

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!
