Comedian Heo Kyunghwan will unleash a lively wit along with news that he has properly entered a second heyday thanks to the memes "I'm uneasy" and "unbalanced."
The MBC program Radio Star, which airs at 10:30 p.m. on the 15th, will be presented as a special titled "Big eaters who chew everything~" featuring Kim Sung-ryoung, Yunho Yunho, Heo Kyunghwan and Pungja. In particular, Heo Kyunghwan, the "icon of no updates" who had stubbornly kept his place without any special recent news, proudly returned in triumph as a "trend guest" on his 12th appearance.
At a recent recording, Heo Kyunghwan, while reporting that he is enjoying a heyday as he moves across various programs, confessed honestly, "I'm uneasy because life is going so well," drawing attention. He compared his changed status by saying, "In the past I fought with my bare hands, but suddenly it feels like I'm holding a weapon," and confessed a strange burden and intense 고민 about having to meet the heightened expectations of the public.
Above all, he will reveal an anecdote in which he was unexpectedly moved by top Korean actors representing Korea — Hwang Jung-min, Lee Sung-min and Lee Dongwook. Heo Kyunghwan said that at the Pinggyego awards ceremony, when a quiz guessing his catchphrase came up, he spotted renowned actors huddled behind him seriously discussing the correct answer. He said, "The times I had been pushing my catchphrase alone flashed before my eyes," expressing overwhelming emotion.
Also included is the hot news that he has been reborn as a "president of elementary schoolers" star. A dance video of "unbalanced," once counted as part of his dark past, has recently been spectacularly revived as a remix challenge and is very popular among elementary school students. Heo Kyunghwan introduced a bewildering yet thrilling fan meeting anecdote in which elementary school students who recognized him at the convenience store in front of his house lined up and performed the "unbalanced" dance in a group, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
In the studio that day, Yunho Yunho, Kim Sung-ryoung and Pungja all appeared to support the "unbalanced" challenge. In particular, when Yunho Yunho devoured the stage with a polished, synchronized idol version, the original creator Heo Kyunghwan felt an extreme sense of crisis and was seen desperately trying to protect his livelihood, provoking uproarious laughter.
Moreover, Heo Kyunghwan will unveil for the first time an ambitious "new catchphrase" that will hit the music and entertainment scenes in the second half of 2026. He reportedly stayed up the night before preparing this catchphrase, and the Radio Star hosts poured out merciless evaluations toward him.
Also revealed in detail are the behind-the-scenes stories that his appearance on the variety show You Quiz was effectively a "nationwide interview," vivid eyewitness accounts of his bold attempt to live a day at 180cm to overcome visual limitations, and the fatal secret of the "height gene" he analyzed himself and the dark past that defied fate.
