Actor In Gyo-jin will appear on 'Radio Star' to share the story of how he became a 'heart stealer' for housewives with his 'handsome trot.' He will also reveal the fundamentals of character acting that is '2% lacking' and his surprising acting history, delivering a unique sense of empathy and laughter to the viewers.
The MBC 'Radio Star,' which will air on 4th, is planned by Kang Young-sun and directed by Kim Myung-yeop, Hwang Yoon-sang, and Byun Da-hee, featuring In Gyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Tei, and Heo Kyung-hwan in a special titled 'Capturing Women's Hearts~.'
On that day, In Gyo-jin will make a bittersweet confession about the characters he has played, saying, 'To put it nicely, it was 2% lacking, and if you look closely, it was actually 90% lacking.' In 'O Samkwang Villa,' he played a trot singer with no money or ability; in 'Suspicious Partner,' he portrayed a husband who only causes trouble; and in 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,' he played a husband who was divorced without knowing why. He recalls the ensemble of clumsy yet affectionate characters, inducing laughter.
He also shares the story of a character he played in the drama 'Making Women Cry,' where he got slapped by Kim Jung-eun, resulting in a nosebleed, and had to clear seaweed that spilled on his face. He reminisces, saying, 'I think I got hit by all the actors since I played a role of a cheating man,' prompting everyone to burst into laughter as he reflects on the traits of the characters he has taken on.
He cites 'Baekhee is Back,' written by Lim Sang-chun of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' as a work that helped elevate him, expressing his affection for the country bumpkin character he portrayed. He also captures attention by revealing stories from his time as Geppong in 'The Rural Diary.' Remembering his first script reading, he notes that being with acting masters made him feel like 'a kid attending an English kindergarten among native speakers,' vividly describing the scene where great seniors like Choi Bul-am, Kim Hye-ja, Kim Yong-gun, and Go Du-shim would naturally come out from the village to film, amusing everyone.
Romantic stories are also included. In Gyo-jin shares the process of how a joke between him and his wife, So Yi-hyun, in their early 20s, where they said, 'Let's get married if we are both single,' became reality. He unexpectedly confessed to So Yi-hyun during a gathering with friends, and amazed everyone by saying she suddenly went silent and cut off communication. Six months later, So Yi-hyun contacted him, promised marriage, and reportedly called both parents on the same day to inform them of the wedding, a 'sudden romance' that filled the studio with pink hues.
In Gyo-jin proves that he is a devoted husband who consistently strives for his wife even after marriage. He shares a heartwarming story about the hand-written letter event he prepared for his wife as she turned forty, introducing a bouquet and a letter with the phrase, 'You are lovely now and will continue to be.' The story of So Yi-hyun crying in the underground parking lot leaves a warm aftertaste.
He also shares his experience of recently challenging himself in trot through 'handsome trot.' In Gyo-jin mentioned that when Choo Sung Hoon and Jang Hyuk appeared, the vibe at the trot filming set felt similar to 'Physical: 100,' making everyone laugh. He stated that he firmly prepared himself and exuded charm, capturing hearts with his top-notch singing abilities while revealing his ambitions as a trot singer. Notably, the final stage will feature In Gyo-jin and three other guests singing 'Proposal' by Noel, raising expectations.
From the hand-written letter event to behind-the-scenes stories from his rookie days in 'The Rural Diary,' the charm of actor In Gyo-jin, who embodies both clumsiness and sincerity after 26 years in the industry, can be seen on 'Radio Star,' airing on Wednesday, 4th, at 10:30 p.m.
'Radio Star' is a beloved talk show that captures guests' true stories with the sharp and unpredictable wit of its MCs.
