Ivy, a singer and musical actress, appears on 'Radio Star' to candidly reveal the truth behind the 'Song Seung-heon cohabitation rumor,' Park Jin-Young's "can't do musicals" remark, and the real struggles of a perfectionist musical goddess. On stage, she is a meticulous perfectionist, and in daily life she delivers laughter and empathy with a human sense of humor.
MBC's 'Radio Star' airing today (the 12th) (planning: Kang Young-sun / directed by Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee) is presented as a "talent Ivy league" special featuring Ji Hyun-woo, Ivy, Kim Jun-hyun and Kim Gyu-won.
Ivy honestly shares the realistic worries of being the head of a one-person agency. She said, "Being responsible for everything alone makes payday the scariest day," recounting a bittersweet daily life. She added, "There is pressure to be perfect on stage," conveying her sincerity and philosophy as a musical actress, which drew empathy.
She also brings up Park Jin-Young. Ivy expressed gratitude toward Park Jin-Young, who produced her early in her career, saying, 'If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have succeeded,' but then caused uproarious laughter by saying, "I don't think he could do musicals — he's 'half air, half sound.'" She added, "Musicals have different breathing and vocalization, so if you ride the rhythm you can't deliver the lines," prompting laughter.
She also recounts an anecdote about co-star Ji Hyun-woo in the musical 'Redbook.' Ivy said, "Ji Hyun-woo comes to the rehearsal room even on days without performances," accurately describing Ji Hyun-woo's 'low-salt human' dry personality and filling the studio with laughter. Ivy then revealed a painful past from being burned by the 'low-salt human type' and said she doesn't mess with Ji Hyun-woo, which provoked more laughter.
She also fully reveals the whole story behind the 'Song Seung-heon cohabitation rumor.' She explained, "While supporting a stray dog organization, I adopted a puppy with distinctive eyebrows and named him Song Seung-heon," and added, "I posted it on SNS and it even became news." Ivy later said, "I happened to meet the real actor Song Seung-heon at a golf course," vividly recounting the situation, and the MCs and guests burst into laughter at the details of this 'cohabitation rumor' episode.
She also reveals the behind-the-scenes of the 'dark past meme' that drew attention on the diving program 'Splash.' "I used a waterproof product, but at the time of the interview the lipstick had smeared onto my front teeth," she said, recounting an embarrassing moment that sent the set into laughter.
Ivy delivers both her artistic sincerity and human candor until the end. The show airs at 10:30 p.m. that evening.
