Hanhae appears on MBC 'Radio Star' to reveal his current condition, which has received the hottest response since his debut. He says he has gained 18kg but that his variety talk has become sharper, and he captivates the studio with his characteristically frank wit.
Tonight (4th) Wednesday night's broadcast of 'Radio Star' (planned by Chey Yoon-chung / directed by Yun Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee) is presented as the 'SHOW! walk the flower path~' special, featuring Kim Won-joon, Cho Hye-lyeon, Hanhae and GREE.
Hanhae reveals that a cover stage of 'Already 1 year' he performed on a variety show he has appeared on for more than eight years led to his highest music revenue in 15 years since his debut and his re-entry onto the music charts for the first time in four years. He talks about his candid feelings on the unexpected heyday of ballads and about his changed direction of activities.
In particular, he recounts the background of teaming up with Moon Seyoon under the name 'Han Moon-chul' and shares an episode that arose with attorney Han Moon-chul because of that name.
Hanhae also reveals behind-the-scenes stories from his original membership days in Block B. He says he auditioned as a rapper but nearly became the main vocalist, telling that episode to provoke laughter. He then performs Lee Ki-chan's 'Beauty' live on the spot, once again proving his sweet vocal skills and instantly captivating the studio.
Another side of Hanhae known among wine aficionados as a 'wine influencer' is revealed. He, who earned the WSET level 3 certificate as the first Korean celebrity, talks about having had a private dinner with the author of the popular comic 'Drops of God' and introduces unique wine-and-side-dish pairing combinations that range from bibimbap, fermented skate, fried chicken to ancestral ritual foods, piquing the MCs' curiosity.
Also known as the 'wine shaman' for his absolute palate, he takes on a blind test with the ambition that "he can discern every beverage in the world." It is said he will show results that will astonish MC Kim Gu Ra, drawing curiosity about the scene.
Hanhae adds a heartwarming touch by revealing an 11-year friendship story with GREE that began in high school, along with the remark, "I am GREE's variety father."
Hanhae's stories, candidly covering variety, music and his personal wine tastes, can be seen on 'Radio Star,' which airs tonight (4th) Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.<
