The cast filled the broadcast with honest talk about their families, daily lives, and behind-the-scenes episodes. Jung Young-joo shared news about the girl group Foursies, formed with musical actors. Foursies, consisting of Jung Young-joo, Kim Young-joo, Lee Young-mi, and Choi Hyun-joo, has an average age of 52.

They are currently preparing a new song and mentioned their next goal is to appear on MBC’s ’Show! Music Core.’ Jung Young-joo also introduced that Foursies member Choi Hyun-joo is Ahn Jae-wook’s wife. Ahn Jae-wook said he initially thought his wife started singing as a hobby with colleagues, but gradually realized it became a full-fledged entertainment activity. Jung Young-joo expressed gratitude for her husband’s consent, and Ahn Jae-wook also viewed his wife’s activities positively. Ahn Jae-wook revealed that during his recent break from acting, he has been focusing on spending time with his two children. He expressed gratitude for his wife’s significant role in childcare and housework, saying he goes out only after she finishes preparing dinner, washing dishes, and putting the children to bed. He actively participates in his children’s school life, volunteering to read books at his daughter’s school and helping with the sports day. At his son’s kindergarten sports day, he competed in a daddy race against Big Bang’s Taeyang and placed third out of five, admitting he was left behind by Taeyang’s speed. Regarding family planning, he said he underwent a vasectomy at the hospital following his wife’s wishes after their second child’s birth. He recalled asking his wife about having a second child after their first, which made her cry, and admitted he did not fully understand her burden at the time. Lily revealed that she participated in the ’K-pop Star 4’ audition in Sydney, Australia, when she was in the 6th grade and made it to the TOP 4. She was recognized for her talent by Yang Hyun-suk and Park Jin Young, receiving casting offers from both YG and JYP. She explained that she followed her parents’ opinion when deciding on her final agency. Lily said she sets a special alarm music to start her mornings energetically and wakes up dancing, adding that her dorm mates are asleep at that time and have no chance to see it. On stage, she performed Beyoncé’s ’Love on Top’ and Eminem’s ’Rap God,’ showcasing outstanding vocal and rap skills. Yoo Byung-kwon reflected on his 15-year relationship with the late Kim Soo-mi. After gaining attention for his Kim Soo-mi impersonation on SBS’s ’Amazing Saturday Star King’ in 2010, he earned the nickname ’Hongje-dong Kim Soo-mi’ and started character activities with Kim Soo-mi’s permission. He shared anecdotes about Kim Soo-mi accompanying him to events and even arranging an agency for him. He revealed experiences such as Kim Soo-mi personally increasing his fee when it was 500,000 won, attending local events together, and receiving strict scoldings. He said he promised to meet Kim Soo-mi after her health improved during their last phone call but could not keep the promise. Yoo Byung-kwon said he cried a lot remembering Kim Soo-mi when his grandmother character Jacqueline received a good response. He also disclosed having undergone plastic surgery on his nose, eyes, and facial contouring, costing about 50 million won. He shared about the aftereffects of the surgery, his family’s reactions, and stories with his mother. Jung Young-joo expressed her thoughts on marriage and divorce, saying she wants to meet a good partner but believes one experience each of marriage and divorce is enough. She maintains relationships with her former in-laws after divorce and communicates with them as women beyond family roles. She also shared daily stories such as living together with family and satisfaction with her mother’s lunchboxes. Meanwhile, ’Radio Star’ announced a special broadcast on the 11th titled ’Jang Han, Na,’ featuring Jang Hanna, Kim Hyun-chul, Woorim Ko, and Harimu.
