On the show 'Radio Star,' Jung Joon-ho, Lee Hee-jin, Jung Hee-won, and Swings appeared as masters of management in their respective fields, revealing their top-notch secrets. Their attempts at solo dancing and acting, along with first-time disclosures, provided plenty of entertainment for viewers, stimulating excitement. Their performance peaked at a rating of 4.2%, also securing the number one spot in the same time slot.

Broadcast on the 19th, MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-sun, directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) was a special episode titled 'No Entry for Managers,' featuring actor Jung Joon-ho, actress Lee Hee-jin from the original girl group Baby V.O.X, geriatrician Jung Hee-won, and rapper Swings.

According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership research company, the previous day's broadcast of 'Radio Star' recorded a viewership rating of 3.3% based on metropolitan household standards, ranking first in the same time slot. The highlight of the show was Lee Hee-jin, whose dance performance to redeem her nickname 'Dduck-dak' achieved a rating of 4.2%.

Jung Joon-ho, known as a networking king in the entertainment industry, was introduced as a 'networking management director.' He shared that he realized the importance of human relationships by following his grandfather around since he was a child. He noted that he has a habit of making notes about people he meets, stating that there are hardly any places in the country where he doesn't have connections. He recounted a story when filming 'Hitman 2' in Busan, where he understood the director's wish to launch a boat and resolved it within 10 minutes by searching for contacts related to 'Busan, yacht,' which surprised actor Kwone Sang-woo.

He humorously remarked regarding the surrounding comments that if he had devoted himself more to acting, he might have become an even better actor, saying, "If I get too absorbed in acting, my colleagues won't have a place to stand." He added that due to meeting many people, he can gauge a person's character merely by shaking hands, conducting health assessments and getting a rough sense of their personality through the handshake, leading to amusing moments when he performed a health check on doctor Jung Hee-won, prompting laughter when the MCs pointed out that a real doctor couldn't read palms.

Jung Joon-ho revealed that he has 15,000 contacts and holds over 100 honorary ambassador positions across the country, surprising everyone. Additionally, he stated that he spends over 200 million won each year on sending around 2,500 floral arrangements to acquaintances. He explained that at his wedding, he rented every available space in addition to the hotel wedding hall, with between 4,000 and 5,000 guests attending.

He unveiled his extensive overseas network, which includes not only princes from Dubai but also high-ranking officials from the U.S. State Department. In another amusing anecdote, he recounted how he introduced his fiancée to an acquaintance before their wedding, leading to her needing to be hospitalized, resulting in a comical situation where their first meeting took place in a hospital. MC Kim Gu-ra and others remarked, "Lee Ha-jung is impressive," hinting that they would like to hear more about her in the future.

Reflecting on her performance last year at the KBS Song Festival, Lee Hee-jin, who appeared as the ultimate 'visual management' figure, surprised everyone with her unchanged looks from her prime years. She mentioned that the entirety of Baby V.O.X, which became synonymous with 'youthful appearance,' earned her the nickname 'Dduck-dak' after the full group's stage performance.

He became the subject of online attention for being unaware of the 'direct cam' phenomenon, perfectly performing his own part while executing rather awkward choreographed steps due to high heels in other sections. He explained, "Since I don’t usually dance, I had a hard time doing it," and was met with applause for his bare-footed dedication during the dance stage.

He mentioned that he has received requests to appear on recent reality and dating programs, but he prefers 'natural meeting pursuit' and has rejected such offers. During this, Lee Hee-jin humorously shared her challenging past with a 'bad boy' preference, revealing her all-in dating style brought struggles. Specifically, she recounted how during Baby V.O.X's days, member Yoon Eun-hye missed a performance due to a scheduling conflict, leading to rumors of discord, bullying, and even speculation that she had hit Yoon Eun-hye, which she adamantly denied.

Lee Hee-jin, a beauty in the entertainment world and known for her youthful appearance, smiled positively when her photos from her 20s were compared to those of NewJeans member Minji, often referred to as lookalikes. She shared that avoiding Botox, surgery, and laser treatments while maintaining her skin naturally has been her 'secret' to staying youthful while being gentler on her skin.

Jung Hee-won, a geriatrician and Ph.D. graduate from KAIST, emphasized the 'slow aging diet' and expressed his desire to inform all citizens about it, explaining his motivation for starting a YouTube channel. He shared his daily menu, which includes vegetables, nuts, lentils, and soy milk latte, and continued engaging in 'enriching' discussions by correcting common health misconceptions. Notably, he mentioned being astonished by data showing a rapid increase in sugar consumption, advising the need to create a virtuous cycle concerning diet, stress management, and sleep.

Jung Hee-won shared his idea of an instant rice mixture made of lentils, oats, brown rice, and white rice in a specified ratio, which he proposed to a company that developed the product, garnering admiration. He expressed a desire for many people to access it at an affordable price and boldly reported that he relinquished his share of 'royalties' for this product. He disclosed that the golden ratio for this instant rice is 40% lentils, 20% oats, 20% brown rice, and 20% white rice, creating a humorous scene where MC Kim Gu-ra and Jung Joon-ho took notes.

Finally, Swings revealed that he is officially ending his artist contract with P Nation and is transitioning to an 'actor,' attracting significant attention. He candidly discussed how he had a strong 'troublemaker' image as a rapper upon entering the entertainment industry, admitting that memes and clips were his primary career references. He added that he has dreamed of becoming an 'actor' since childhood and found it interesting when Huang Dong-hyuk considered casting him for the role of Thanos in 'Squid Game Season 2' shortly after he had attended acting classes for 2 to 3 weeks.

He also shared that he had recently discussed projects and announced for the first time that he would debut as an 'actor' in the web drama 'Nonexistent Movie' directed by YouTuber and director Jin Yong-jin, receiving enthusiastic applause.

Swings is currently attending a 15-person group class at an acting academy from which Won-bin and Gang Dong-won graduated, and he showcased a scene from 'My Liberation Notes' with Lee Hee-jin, receiving applause. Amid the outpouring of advice from Jung Joon-ho, as previously he stated, should he produce 'Daewoo's Big Deal 3,' it seems that Swings would be suitable for the role that Jung Woon-taek played, raising curiosity about whether real casting would happen.

Meanwhile, the upcoming episode 907 of 'Radio Star' is expected to feature Eom Hong-gil, Lee Soo-geun, Kim Dae-ho, and The Boyz's Seon-woo in a special segment titled 'Pursuit of an Uphill Encounter.'
