'Radio Star' features actor Ji Hyun-woo, showcasing the charm of the "nation's younger man", the straightforward life view of a "low-sodium person", and even revealing behind-the-scenes stories of being called the "Richard Gere-like man" in the musical "Red Book." He discusses working with older actresses, his perfectionist routines on stage, and how he shares laughs and sincerity through song.
On the 12th at 10:30 p.m., MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-seon / directed by Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee) will be presented as a "talent Ivy League" special featuring Ji Hyun-woo, Kim Kyu-won, Ivy, and Kim Jun-hyun.
Ji Hyun-woo recalls the days when he was called the "nation's younger man," smiling as he said, "I worked a lot with older actresses." He shares behind-the-scenes stories from projects with Song Hye-kyo, Kim Tae-hee, Choi Kang-hee, Lee Bo-young, and Ye Ji-won, saying, "They were all seniors with different colors, so I learned a lot," which resonated with the audience.
He then mentioned the behind-the-scenes of a kissing scene with Ko Doo-shim in the film "A Shining Moment," which overcame a 33-year age gap, revealing, "It seems senior Ko Doo-shim was surprised by how I took the lead," a remark that reportedly turned the studio upside down.
Updates from the musical "Red Book" stage are also revealed. Ivy, who plays opposite Ji Hyun-woo, said, "Ji Hyun-woo comes to the rehearsal room earlier than the staff. Even on days without performances, if he doesn't show up for a single day it's awkward. His daily life is almost like that of a natural person," making everyone laugh. The reveal of Ji Hyun-woo's unexpected charm, worthy of being called "Korea's Richard Gere," filled the studio with warmth. Ji Hyun-woo also shares the different charms of Ok Ju-hyun, Ivy, and Min Kyung-ah, who perform with him on stage, raising curiosity.
He also candidly addresses the nickname "low-sodium person." He burst into laughter, saying, "That nickname came because I'm a boring person." The show also reveals Ji Hyun-woo's unique method he says he uses lately to boost his energy, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
Ji Hyun-woo reminisces about his time with the band "The Nuts" and performs an impromptu acoustic guitar piece and song. The hosts admire his sweet voice, and the studio fills with applause.
