Singer Kim Jang-hoon proves a new heyday as the main character of memes for the MZ generation on 'Radio Star.' He enters the studio with a kick, performing the 'cock-a-doodle-doo' stage on the spot, turning the studio into a sea of laughter. Exaggerated gestures and a delightful over-the-top performance from the 'meme treasure trove' of talents are expected.
The 'Radio Star' special 'You're Coming Back, Oppa' featuring Kim Jang-hoon, Bobby Kim, Jo Sung-mo, and Son Ho-young will air on MBC on the 6th.
Kim Jang-hoon reveals his recent status and notes that he has gained popularity with the MZ generation, happily stating his age. "These days, the MZ likes me," he says with a bright smile, adding, "I found out that my memes are overflowing on YouTube."
In fact, a video compilation showcasing his unique singing style is spreading across the internet as memes. However, he jokingly remarks that the song 'cock-a-doodle-doo,' which he really wants to promote, hasn't become a meme, saying, "I hope that song gets more attention," and eventually presents a performance that has the studio in fits of laughter.
Kim Jang-hoon confesses, "I've cut off everything that interferes with my singing," noting, "I don't do swearing, smoking, or drinking anymore," and his banter with MC Kim Gu-ra evokes laughter, straddling the line between mockery and respect.
He also reveals the story of hosting concerts on Dokdo for the past 20 years as a 'Defender of Dokdo.' When asked about his nickname 'Elder of Dokdo,' he responds, "I don't dislike it," showing a smile, and unexpectedly confesses, "I've completely moved my residence to Dokdo," surprising everyone.
Watching the performance of Jannabi's Choi Jeong-hoon stirred his competitive spirit, and he remarked, "I even timed it," as he challenged himself to an impromptu guitar performance, expressing his desire to feel free, if only on stage.
Kim Jang-hoon's new side, mixed with sincerity and laughter, can be seen on 'Radio Star' airing Wednesday night on the 6th.
Meanwhile, 'Radio Star' is a unique talk show loved for its hosts' unpredictable and sharp wit, disarming guests to bring out their true stories.
