MBC’s ″Radio Star″ aired a special episode titled ″Possible People″ on November 4, featuring Ahn Jae-wook, Jung Young-joo, NMIXX Lily, and Yoo Byung-kwon. In the broadcast, Yoo Byung-kwon revealed his 15-year relationship with the late Kim Soo-mi. He stated that he debuted after performing an impression of Kim Soo-mi on SBS’s ″Amazing Saturday″ in 2010 and receiving her permission. Kim Soo-mi personally took him to events, established an entertainment agency to work together, and even took him to a kimchi factory where she taught him how to make kimchi. Kim Gu-ra described Yoo Byung-kwon as the hidden true son, while Jang Dong-min is known publicly as her son. Yoo Byung-kwon shared an anecdote about Kim Soo-mi negotiating his appearance fees. At a time when dubbing fees were 500,000 won, Kim Soo-mi personally called the officials to raise his fee. He also recalled accompanying her to local events, being called out early in the morning, and being scolded in her unique way. He also disclosed the content of his last phone call with Kim Soo-mi. Yoo Byung-kwon said that 2 to 3 weeks before her passing, she told him she had almost recovered and suggested meeting in two months. He added that he heard she shared similar words with others on the day of her funeral. Yoo Byung-kwon confessed that Kim Soo-mi often told him during her lifetime, ″Don’t worry about anything. When I die, you will do well,″ and that he cried alone when his alter ego ″Jacklin″ received a good response. Ahn Jae-wook shared his daily life focused on parenting. During his break from acting, he spends time with his children, while his wife handles most of the childcare. He explained that after preparing dinner, doing the dishes, and putting the kids to bed, he goes out, describing the reason as ″with pride.″ He also volunteered to read books at his daughter’s school and hosted the sports day, expressing his opinion on how noise complaints at sports events are erasing children’s memories. At his son’s kindergarten sports day, he competed in a running race against Big Bang’s Taeyang and placed third out of five. After the birth of their second child, when his wife said she could not have more children, he underwent a vasectomy and shared a story about asking his wife about having a second child right after the first birth, which made her cry. Jung Young-joo reported on the activities of ″Four Seasons,″ a girl group formed by four musical actors with an average age of 52. The members are Jung Young-joo, Kim Young-joo, Lee Young-mi, and Choi Hyun-joo. They quickly formed the group after being invited to a music variety show and unexpectedly won first place. They are currently preparing to release a new song and introduced themselves as the ″fifty-year-old girl group.″ It was also mentioned that member Choi Hyun-joo is Ahn Jae-wook’s wife. Jung Young-joo said that Ahn Jae-wook readily approved of his wife’s activities, and Ahn Jae-wook himself said that his wife’s activities are good for both of them. Four Seasons’ goal is to appear on MBC’s ″Show! Music Core.″ Jung Young-joo also shared recent news about living with her parents. Concerned about her parents living in a four-story villa without an elevator, she moved in with them and now receives the lunchboxes she missed during her childhood every day. She also spoke about remarriage, saying she wants to meet a wonderful person but believes one marriage and one divorce are enough. She explained that even after divorce, she maintains contact with her ex-in-laws and communicates with them as women. Lily recalled her time on ″K-pop Star 4.″ She auditioned in Sydney, Australia, advanced to the TOP 4, and received high praise from Yang Hyun-suk and Park Jin Young. She was offered casting proposals from both YG and JYP and chose JYP based on her parents’ judgment. Lily said, ″I’m glad I joined YG,″ then immediately corrected herself to JYP, causing laughter. She also revealed her morning routine of waking up happily to special alarm music and showcased her musical skills by performing Beyoncé’s ″Love on Top″ and Eminem’s ″Rap God.″ Yoo Byung-kwon revealed that he had undergone several plastic surgeries, including on his nose, eyes, and facial contouring, spending about 50 million won at the time. He added that this would be equivalent to about 100 million won in today’s value. He shared an anecdote about his mother admiring the advances in medical technology after seeing his changed appearance and recalled an episode during menopause when he suddenly got angry while stir-frying anchovies. Meanwhile, the late Kim Soo-mi was found in cardiac arrest at her home on the morning of October 25, 2024, and was transported to the hospital but passed away at the age of 75. ″Radio Star″ is scheduled to air a special episode titled ″Jang Han, Na″ on the 11th, featuring Jang Han-na, Kim Hyun-chul, Woorim Ko, and Harimu.
