• Super Junior's Shindong Shows Off His Jaw-Dropping 30 Billion Won Apartment — You Won't Believe Who Owned it Before Him

    Super Junior's Shindong just gave fans a peek inside his new, luxurious home, and it’s everything we imagined!

    On April 3, Shindong posted a video titled “Since I moved, should I have a housewarming party?” on his 'Shindong Daengdong' YouTube channel, sharing exciting updates about his recent move.

    The star revealed he now lives in a luxury apartment with a breathtaking view of the Han River. Shindong proudly showed off the wide-open view, saying, “I always show this view to people who come over. You can see the Han River and the Lotte Tower in Jamsil. It’s amazing. There are even fireworks on January 1st, but I was in Taiwan and missed it. I’ll definitely watch it next year!” The location also makes it super convenient, with easy access to the Olympic Highway and Cheongdam Bridge, making it easy to get to places like Bundang.

    As for the details inside his new place, Shindong couldn’t help but show off his new expensive items. “The thing I brag about the most is our TV. It's a very expensive 97-inch OLED TV,” he explained.

    The TV alone costs a whopping 35 million won! He also shared how he updated other appliances like the induction cooktop, microwave oven, fridge, and dishwasher. “The best thing I replaced was the sink. I got it from Instagram. And I use a food waste disposer that works great,” he added.

    But wait, it gets even better! Shindong showed off some unique features, like a super cool fridge that makes cubed, crushed, craft ice, and even mini cubes! “It’s amazing! I almost never need to buy ice,” he said.

    The fridge is so high-tech, it even makes filtered water. And for all the coffee lovers, there’s a built-in coffee machine—although he joked, “I’ve never used it!”

    Shindong also shared a funny story about his new home’s previous owner—TVXQ’s Changmin! He revealed, “Is this house Changmin’s? I told Changmin I bought this house. Let me show you the wardrobe. Changmin did a great job on the interior, so I didn’t change much.”

    Changmin originally bought the apartment in 2014 for 1.48 billion won in cash, and now it’s worth around 3 billion won!

    In addition to his stunning living room, Shindong gave fans a look at his computer room, storage, and master bedroom.

    The master bedroom has a special Tempur moving bed, “When you press it, it rises, so it's great for watching TV,” he explained. And his projector setup? It cost him about 400 million won!

    It looks like Shindong is living the high life in his new home—thank you, Changmin, for the awesome space.

  • 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!
