Chungha and Wheein recently opened up about the frustration they’ve been feeling after losing their personal accounts and fan clubs following changes in their agencies.

On March 18th, Wheein uploaded a video on her channel where the three friends, all of whom have moved on to solo careers, shared a lively conversation with fans.

During the video, Wheein smiled and said, "The freedom of not being with an agency," to which Yoon Ji Seong responded, "The best time is when you don’t belong to any agency."

Chungha nodded in agreement, adding, "It feels a bit off when we have an agency like this," sharing a knowing look with Yoon Ji Seong.

Wheein then explained, "The reason I started this new channel is because…" before pausing, clearly frustrated. Chungha, surprised, asked, "Was it a newly created account?"

Wheein quickly responded, "Don’t you know? You made a new channel too," revealing that they were both going through the same issue. Chungha awkwardly smiled as she remembered what happened.

Chungha couldn’t help but joke, saying, "If I start talking about this, I could make five hours' worth of content."

Yoon Ji Seong showed sympathy, asking, "Didn’t they even take your personal account, Chungha?" At this, Chungha screamed in frustration, and when Wheein shared that she had experienced the same, both of them let out exasperated screams.

Yoon Ji Seong asked, "What are they not giving it to you for?" to which Wheein humorously speculated, "Are they keeping it for personal collection?"

Fans are sure to feel for both artists as they navigate this frustrating situation.

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!
