Actor Park Hae Soo shared his thoughts on the long-running comparison between him and Son Suk Ku.

On March 17, a video featuring Park Hae Soo, Lee Hee Joon, and Kim Sung Kyun, the stars of Netflix’s A Killer Paradox, was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup’.

During the video, Jung Ho Chul brought up the topic, saying, “Was Son Suk Ku also on SNL? People must have really enjoyed Park Hae Soo’s appearance because some even got confused, thinking it was Son Suk Ku.”

Hearing this, Park Hae Soo laughed and responded, “Even now? Well, that’s nice.” He then shared a fun story, saying, “I’m actually close with Suk Ku. I first met him at a salon when I heard about these rumors."

He added, "I felt a little bad for him, but since Suk Ku is such a chill guy, he just came up to me and greeted me with, ‘Hyung!’ Then, he suddenly hugged me, saying, ‘When are you coming home?’ like we were real brothers.”

Despite their resemblance, Park Hae Soo admitted that they have never worked together on a project, adding, “To be honest, Suk Ku is actually closer to Lee Hee Joon and Kim Sung Kyun.”

Netizens continue to agree that the two actors look alike, keeping the fun rumor alive!

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!
