The Radio Star episode airing Wednesday night on the 14th on MBC (produced by Chey Yoon-chung / directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yun-sang, Byun Da-hee) is themed as a "national OOO" special featuring Park Geun-hyeong, Song Ok-sook, Choi Hyun-woo and Won-hee.
On the day, based on about 30 years of his magic career, Choi Hyun-woo showcases a magic show that can be enjoyed across generations, asserting his presence. Choi Hyun-woo explains the real meaning behind his remark about magic trends that "YouTube is the worst." As he considers the direction magic should take in a changing era, the reason he surprisingly describes AI as "kind" will also be revealed, adding to the curiosity.
Choi Hyun-woo takes time to validate the phrase "the nation's magician recognized by AI." In the studio he poses questions to AI on the spot, and the suspicious Kim Gu Ra personally rechecks it on site, prompting big laughs.
He also revealed that he prepared a magic show that people from their 20s to their 80s can enjoy together, and confessed that because of the suspicious Kim Gu Ra an emergency meeting was convened before the appearance. The cast repeatedly expressed admiration at a magic demonstration that resembled an actual performance. Word has it that Kim Gu Ra, who is so suspicious he is regarded as the number one person to be avoided by the hypnosis and magic communities, nodded repeatedly and expressed admiration when he saw Choi Hyun-woo's magic.
A special segment for viewers is also prepared. Choi Hyun-woo says "I will reveal the secrets of magic" and directly teaches simple tricks anyone can perform at home. Demonstrating this magic that spans all generations from 20 to 80, he leads the studio's focus with kind explanations befitting "the nation's magician."
This broadcast also reveals the behind-the-scenes of the sensational "group hypnosis" magic show that earned him the nickname "K Harry Potter." When the scale and the process of the group hypnosis magic performed at the time were disclosed, not only the MCs but the cast were said to have been unable to hide their surprise, heightening curiosity.
In addition, Choi Hyun-woo adds laughter by sharing a magic-like episode in which he says a lotto number was revealed to him in a dream. Finally, he unveils for the first time a joint magic act with Won-hee of the girl group ILLIT, raising the atmosphere to a climax with a special stage that crosses generations and genres.
