The guests who appeared on "Radio Star", Woo Hee-jin, Hwang Dong-joo, Mimi, and Lee Si-an, made a big impact as "heart-throbbing instigators" armed with sincerity.
The MBC entertainment show "Radio Star", which aired on the 9th, featured a special segment on "heart-throbbing viral videos" with Woo Hee-jin, Hwang Dong-joo, Oh My Girl's Mimi, and Lee Si-an showcasing their entertaining talk and personal talents.
According to Nielsen Korea, the ratings company, "Radio Star", which aired the previous day, recorded a 3.9% viewership rating based on households in the metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot. The "Best One Minute" went to Hwang Dong-joo, whose scene discussing the strange things brought about by his "30-year unrequited love" for Lee Young-ja caught attention. He noted that a fan club was formed after "Old-fashioned Relationship Pursuit" (hereafter referred to as "Omanchu").
Actor Woo Hee-jin, who appeared on MBC entertainment for the first time in 14 years, reminisced about the filming of "Omanchu" by saying, "I thought I was going on a trip, but it turned out to be a dating program," and added, "I was approached without any prior information," surprising the cast. It turned out that Woo Hee-jin received a phone call from her friend Kim Sook asking if she would participate, to which she replied, "I think I can do it if it's with you."
Regarding her love line with Ji Sang-ryeol, she candidly drew the line by stating, "Our comedic codes did not match at all. He is a great guy, but there was no chemistry." She also added a confession about Koo Bon-seung, who visited her church to see her when he was in his 20s, causing a stir in the studio. Additionally, her past fashion sense during her peak years was revealed, drawing attention.
Hwang Dong-joo gained attention when he named Lee Young-ja as his ideal type during his previous appearance on "Radio Star", and later shared that he ended up meeting her through "Omanchu", which led to a "real-life connection". He surprised the audience by revealing that he had harbored feelings for Lee Young-ja even before his debut, claiming he had been in unrequited love for about "30 years".
He remarked that he was surprised by the "carotid artery signal" that arose from seeing Lee Young-ja's outfit during "Omanchu". After the broadcast, he received a flood of messages from acquaintances commenting on his pulsating carotid artery. He also revealed an episode during the hand-holding mission where he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, making everyone burst out laughing.
Hwang Dong-joo noted the changes after the airing of "Omanchu", saying, "There were remarks like, 'I got married once' and 'I have a child', but those comments disappeared after the show aired," and he drew attention by disclosing that a fan club was formed. He expressed gratitude, saying, "Just getting a response from Lee Young-ja makes me happy. That day becomes a good day for me." He added, "I worry that my every word might cause trouble. I think if something goes wrong, it could hurt her more than it does me. I appreciate the consideration she shows me despite it all."
Oh My Girl's Mimi showed her presence as the "it girl" of the entertainment industry. Proving the reason she is loved by both Na Young-seok, the producer, and Yoo Jae-suk, she captivated the audience in this episode as she showcased her versatile skills in boxing, ballet, rapping, impersonations, and acting as an "immediate output machine" of personal talents. Notably, she humorously stated, "I want to be officially registered on Yoo Jae-suk's family registry since we share the same birthday. I'm appealing to inherit his wealth."
Mimi, the only panelist who did not appear on a dating program among the guests, received attention by saying, "There's no time to feel lonely. My day is so busy."
Actress and former idol trainee Lee Si-an successfully completed her terrestrial entertainment talk show debut by unleashing her personal talents and sharing behind-the-scenes of "Solo Hell 4". She mentioned that she had been an idol trainee for about six years. Lee Si-an stated, "I have two schedules a day, sometimes up to three," adding that she shot a brand advertisement in Los Angeles. Had it been normal, she would have probably shot in Yangyang, but she flew there in business class."
She candidly confessed that during "Solo Hell 4", she "only held hands with Yuk Jun-seo while sleeping in bed," and her unexpected remark that "Even though I got criticized after the broadcast, my mother liked it" made the cast burst into laughter. Mimi inquired playfully, "Are they really dating?", expressing curiosity about Lee Si-an and Yuk Jun-seo's current relationship. Lee Si-an responded, "We contact each other often and eat together; we're close brother and sister. We care for each other and we're getting along really well."
An episode during the filming of "Solo Hell 4" also drew attention. Lee Si-an shared, "I had to do my hair and makeup alone. I brought about 40 to 50 outfits. Even though it was ten days, there could be occasions where I'd change outfits three times a day, so I brought three large suitcases." She credited singer Kwon Eun-bi, whom she had worked with on "Produce 48", as her supporter, saying that Kwon Eun-bi took pictures of all her clothes, shoes, and bags to show her in advance, noting, "Since her trendy fashion was a hot topic, she lent me all her beautiful accessories, shoes, and bags."
In particular, he attempted Kim Gook-jin's legendary personal talent, "blowing out candles", successfully accomplishing it all at once with 15 candles, and then performed a unique feat by blowing out the candles with his nose, earning the nickname "the female Dexter".
The upcoming episode of "Radio Star", scheduled to air on the 16th, will feature Choo Sung-hun, Jung Seok-yong, Nam Chang-hee, and Lee Kwan-hee in a special segment titled "There's a guy in Hanam~", raising expectations for the laughter and empathy it will bring.
