Kim Won-hoon, who crosses between OTT content, YouTube, and entertainment, will appear on 'Radio Star.' He showcases his presence with a performance that sparked controversy in the OTT entertainment show 'Office Workers,' where he played the role of 'a top star, Choi Ji-woo,' his pride as a YouTuber with about 20 videos that have over 10 million views, and his confession that he "sleeps on a money(?) bed," along with his meme-generating talent and confident storytelling.
MBC's 'Radio Star,' airing at 10:30 p.m. on the 2nd (planned by Kang Young-seon / directed by Kim Myung-yeob, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byeon Da-hee), will be formatted as a special episode featuring 'YouTube stars,' with Tablo, Im Woo-il, Tukut, and Kim Won-hoon showcasing their humorous storytelling.
Kim Won-hoon, a former KBS public recruitment comedian, is also making a big splash in OTT entertainment and drama. He has made a mark as a leading meme-generating actor in Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea' and is expanding his acting spectrum as a cheerful math teacher in the Wavve drama 'The Chairman is Level 9.' He is also a principal figure on the YouTube channel 'Shortbox,' which has 3.42 million subscribers.
Kim Won-hoon remarked, "Since my appearance on 'Radio Star' three years ago, contact from terrestrial broadcasting has ceased," which drew laughter from the start as he complained about being overlooked. As it is a special episode featuring 'YouTube stars,' he did not expect his position to be fourth. Regarding the seating arrangement with Im Woo-il, he confidently asserted, "In terms of recognition, I'm ahead of him," provoking more laughter.
He shared the story of how he became a master of 'scratching acting' in 'Office Workers,' recounting an episode where he imitated Choi Ji-woo, which elicited laughter. He even shared a story about receiving actual insults from Ji Ye-eun. Tukut recalled, "That scene became a hot topic and circulated as a meme," and Kim Won-hoon joked, "I think I made it that realistic."
When newcomer YouTuber Tablo, who surpassed 1 million subscribers after 13 years, said, "The average view count of my videos is 400,000 to 500,000," Kim Won-hoon humorously replied, "With those view counts, we would take the videos down," making fun of both Tablo and Tukut. When asked a follow-up question, he stated, "I have about 20 videos that exceed 10 million views," shocking everyone with the class difference. When he mentioned, "These days, I sleep on a money(?) bed," the MCs were surprised, asking, "Is it really a bed made of money?" The true identity of the 'money bed' was revealed, touching the studio.
The back-and-forth competition for broadcasting shares between Im Woo-il and Kim Won-hoon is also something to watch. The two engaged in a battle of wits, heating up the atmosphere in the studio. Kim Won-hoon's full story, ranging from OTT to Shortbox, meme generation, and hair loss confession, can be confirmed on 'Radio Star,' airing at 10:30 p.m. on the 2nd.
