Actor Lee Jae Wook recently shared a fun story about his love for photography and why he still carries an old iPhone!

On February 26, Harper’s BAZAAR Korea released a video titled "How an Actor’s Suitcase is Different".

In the video, Lee Jae Wook gave fans a look inside his travel essentials and revealed some surprising personal habits.

The actor, who is currently appearing on tvN’s variety show Unnie’s Rice Direct Delivery, talked about his latest activities.

He shared, "I’ve been practicing cooking for filming, and I’m planning a ski trip. It’s been two years since I last went skiing because of work, so I feel like my skis are sulking. I need to make it up to them!"

One of the biggest surprises was when he confessed, "I’ve never traveled abroad. Except for work, I’ve never been on an overseas trip."

Instead, he said he enjoys exploring places within Korea and has a special love for Jeju Island. "I might go there again this time," he added.

As he opened his suitcase, Lee Jae Wook showed off his collection of glasses, saying, "I have a thing for glasses. I don’t even need prescription lenses, but I love collecting them. I always carry a few pairs."

Then, he revealed something even more interesting—his passion for photography! Among his travel items was a small digital camera and an old iPhone.

He explained, "When I take pictures with this old iPhone, they come out with a sentimental feel, so I use it as a camera. My go-to items are this iPhone and my digital camera."

When asked what he usually photographs, Lee Jae Wook laughed and said, "I actually bring them to take pictures of myself, but I always end up taking photos of others. When I check my gallery later, I realize there are no pictures of me—just shots of everyone else!"

Fans loved his down-to-earth charm, with many commenting on his unique perspective on photography and travel.

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!
