Actor Jang Ki Yong might be joining UAA, and fans are already buzzing with excitement!

On February 18th, UAA confirmed to Star News that they held a meeting with Jang Ki Yong to discuss the possibility of him signing an exclusive contract with the agency. However, they also made it clear that nothing has been finalized yet.

Jang Ki Yong's current agency, YG Entertainment, has been going through restructuring and decided to shift its focus more towards music, leaving its actor management division behind. As a result, it looks like Jang Ki Yong is on the hunt for a new agency, and UAA could be the perfect fit!

UAA is home to big stars like Song Hye Kyo, Ahn Eun Jin, Kim Dae Myung, and Kim Da Mi, and Jang Ki Yong already has a connection with them. He worked alongside Song Hye Kyo in SBS’s Now, We Are Breaking Up, so the two have some history together.

Jang Ki Yong, who started his career as a model, kicked off his acting journey in 2014 with the hit drama It's Okay, That's Love. Since then, he’s taken on leading roles in popular dramas like Go Back Couple, My Ahjussi, Come and Hug Me, Search: WWW, The Strange Housekeeper, and Not a Hero But....

But that’s not all! Jang Ki Yong will also be starring alongside UAA’s Ahn Eun Jin in the upcoming SBS drama Kiss is Nothing But Trouble!, which is set to air later this year. The drama tells the story of a single woman who pretends to be a mother to get a job, and the team leader who falls for her. Jang Ki Yong will play the male lead, Gong Ji Hyuk, and fans are already excited for the chemistry between him and Ahn Eun Jin!

Could this be the start of a new chapter for Jang Ki Yong at UAA? Fans can’t wait to see what happens next.

Actor Lee Yi Kyung surprised viewers by revealing his extremely frugal lifestyle, which he says comes from his father.

On the February 20 episode of tvN STORY’s A Billion-Won Breakfast, Lee Yi Kyung’s simple morning routine was shown.

Appearing on camera with a sleepy, puffy face, he laughed and said, “I look terrible. This is the real me.”

Dr. Oh Eun Young was surprised to see him waking up early at 6 AM, but Lee Yi Kyung explained, “I can’t sleep in.”

What caught the most attention was how he stayed warm in the winter. Instead of using the boiler, he turned on a small heater.

He said, “My father always did this. Even now, he wears a lightweight padded jacket at home. He says wearing one in winter is enough to stay warm.”

Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun Young commented, “If you catch a cold, the medical expenses will cost more. Being frugal is good, but this might make marriage difficult.”

Lee Yi Kyung responded with a laugh, saying, “People say that a lot. But whoever marries me can just turn on the boiler. I’ll just turn it off in my own space.”

Despite his father being a former CEO, Lee Yi Kyung has kept up his simple way of living. Fans were both shocked and amused by his extreme frugality!
