Creator 'Honorary Briton' Baek Jin-kyung shares a variety of stories on MBC's 'Radio Star,' from her work as a plus-size model with global brands such as Adidas, Dr. Martens, and IKEA to her love story with her British actor husband.
The 'Radio Star' episode airing today (18th) (planned by Chey Yoon-chung / directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee) is presented as a special titled '2026 엄지 척! 이 설의 끝을 잡고~' featuring Uhm Ji-won, Choi Dae-chul, Kim Johan, and Honorary Briton (Baek Jin-kyung).
That day, Honorary Briton looks back on the time she worked in the U.K. as a plus-size model for global brands such as Adidas, Dr. Martens, and IKEA. She attracts attention by sharing how she, as a standout East Asian plus-size model, came to collaborate with well-known overseas brands and her local experience.
She also mentions an anecdote related to the 'only $10 international passport' and reveals how she first met her husband, who is working as an actor in the U.K. The couple's exciting first meeting and dating story surprised everyone, raising expectations.
She then amuses the audience by saying that although she is called 'Honorary Briton,' her story actually began when she first went to study in California, United States. Explaining cultural differences with Korea, she touts her then-popularity(?) and astonishes everyone with an episode that allegedly paralyzed local roads and classrooms(?).
In particular, she shares experiences accumulated while living in the U.K., offering cultural and lifestyle tips and delivering easy-to-understand stories about Britain that make listeners perk up. In addition, she will heat up the atmosphere by presenting a parade of various alter egos she crafted through sharp observation during her part-time jobs.
From modeling for global brands to an international love story and experiences living in the U.K. and the U.S., the colorful stories of Honorary Briton Baek Jin-kyung can be seen on 'Radio Star,' airing today (18th) at 10:30 p.m.
