Seo Jang-hoon, known as the 'king of basketball', appears on 'Radio Star' to candidly share how he has risen to prominence as the 'king of entertainment'.
The episode of MBC 'Radio Star', airing on the 3rd (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Hwang Yoon-sang and Byun Da-hee), is set to feature Seo Jang-hoon, Shin Gi-roo, Shin Dong, and Na Seon-wook in a special segment called 'All Size Project'.
Seo Jang-hoon has marked his place as the undeniable 'king of entertainment' after officially challenging himself in the entertainment industry post-basketball retirement, making appearances on major programs such as 'My Little Old Boy', 'Knowing Bros', and 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller'. He gained popularity across generations with his sharp analyses, candid speech, and human charm, elevating him to the ranks of top MCs in broadcasting. Recently, he has also raised his voice in programs like 'Divorce Reflection Camp' while displaying a warm and advising side.
Seo Jang-hoon confessed, 'I was diagnosed with vocal cord nodules because of my role in getting angry and being direct on broadcasts,' adding, 'I even received a recommendation from the hospital to 'reduce my speaking'.' He went on to surprise everyone by mentioning that he spent two days 'silent' at home for treatment. In response, Kim Gura joked off-air that he should indeed reduce his talking.
He mentioned that particularly because of his collaboration with Kim Hee-chul on 'Knowing Bros', many rumors about his wealth have emerged. He shared that Kim Hee-chul jokingly said on air that Seo Jang-hoon has '2 trillion won' in assets and that he gave a congratulatory gift of 30 million won to Min Kyung-hoon's wedding, leading some to actually believe the rumor. Since then, he has reportedly received a flood of requests for loans from all around the country.
Additionally, Seo Jang-hoon, who is living his second life as an entertainment MC after retiring from basketball, made a heartfelt confession, stating, 'The reason I am serious about entertainment is ultimately because I want to be loved,' which drew significant attention.
In particularly, he revealed, 'I used to be someone who never cried, but recently after watching the drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', I shed tears, and I also got choked up at Min Kyung-hoon's wedding.' His human side, hidden behind a character known for shouting and nagging, will be revealed in the episode of 'Radio Star' airing on Wednesday, the 3rd, at 10:30 p.m.
