• Hyeri’s Romantic Bathtub Scene in 'Friendly Rivalry' Wasn’t So Romantic—It Was a Mess Underwater, and She Pretended to Stay Cool

    Hyeri is giving fans all the behind-the-scenes details about her much-talked-about kiss scene with Chung Soo Bin—and it turns out, things were far from dreamy.

    On March 14, a new episode of Hyeri's Club was uploaded to Hyeri’s YouTube channel, featuring actress Chung Soo Bin as a guest. The two co-starred in Friendly Rivalry, and they had plenty of fun stories to share.

    Hyeri revealed that she, Chung Soo Bin, Kang Hye Won, and Oh Woo Ri had a little watch party at her house to rewatch their famous bathtub kiss scene. But instead of focusing on the whole drama, their friends were only waiting for that moment!

    “No one cared about episodes 1, 2, or 3,” Hyeri said, laughing. “But the moment episode 4 came on… everyone just lost it.” Chung Soo Bin added, “It was like they were just waiting for that scene.”

    While the kiss looked romantic on screen, filming it was a whole different story. Hyeri spilled, “The bathtub was super slippery. We kept adding foam, but it wasn’t enough, so we just dumped in an entire bottle of body wash. It got so slippery, I could barely stay in place.”

    Chung Soo Bin agreed, saying, “I kept sliding underwater, and unnie had to pull me back up. If she hadn’t held onto me, I probably would’ve slipped all the way to the other side.”

    Hyeri then joked, “In the full shot, you can actually see Soo Bin’s foot sticking out. It was total chaos below, but I pretended to be calm.”

    Who knew such a steamy scene was actually a slippery disaster? Fans are loving their hilarious behind-the-scenes stories!

  • 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!
