Appearing on 'Radio Star,' In Kyo-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Tei, and Heo Gyeong-hwan captured the living room of viewers on Wednesday night with their distinctive charms during the 'Capturing the hearts of women~' special.

From the love story of 'devoted husband' In Kyo-jin and So Yi-hyun to Ji Seung-hyun, who captured attention with his challenge as the 'handsome trot' and martial arts dance, to Tei's sincerity and laughter-filled talk as the sharpshooter of women's hearts in the musical world, and finally to Heo Gyeong-hwan, who created a catchphrase from his 'butt towel tanning' philosophy, their wit and sincerity received acclaim.

On the 4th, MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Myung-yeob, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byeon Da-hee) aired as a 'Capturing the hearts of women~' special. According to Nielsen Korea on the 5th, the previous day's broadcast of 'Radio Star' recorded a 3.4% viewership rating in the metropolitan area, ranking first in its time slot, and also topped the 2049 viewership rating category. The 'best minute' was when Ji Seung-hyun displayed his transformation into a trot singer with an unexpected aegyo moment, achieving a rating of 4.3%.

In Kyo-jin made a dramatic appearance on 'Radio Star' for the first time in nine years, revealing his love story with his wife So Yi-hyun and shaking the hearts of women. He confessed, "I thought So Yi-hyun liked me, but actually, I was the one who liked her more," and shared heartfelt stories, from the time So Yi-hyun went 'ghosting' after his confession to their reunion six months later when they decided to marry immediately.

Having been married for 12 years, he said, "I’m not good at events by nature, but consistency is the driving force of marriage," revealing a touching story about preparing a bouquet and a handwritten letter for his wife’s fortieth birthday. In Kyo-jin conveyed deep affection by sharing So Yi-hyun's reaction, saying, "She reportedly cried her eyes out in the underground parking lot."

The behind-the-scenes of his appearance on the trot variety show 'Handsome Trot' also caught attention. He stepped onto the stage to sing 'Good Ya,' a song he created while playing the role of a trot singer in the drama 'Oh! Samkwang Villa,' and said, "I thought I just needed to get past Jang Hyuk and Ji Seung-hyun, as I made it into the TOP4," bringing laughter to the scene with his unique wit.

In Kyo-jin shared his thoughts on appearing in the remake of 'Family Diary' alongside senior colleagues, admitting, "I felt like a kindergarten child among native speakers." He also revealed that he was the original of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' by reenacting the related scene, showcasing his vibrant sense of humor. He exuded various charms as an actor, trot singer, and devoted husband, warming the studio with his genuine talk.

Ji Seung-hyun took on the challenge of trot while preparing action dance during 'Handsome Trot' and presented a unique twist with martial arts-infused dance, capturing the viewers' attention. He also showcased his acting skills by freely switching between extreme characters, from General Yang Gyu in the drama 'Goryeo-Khitan War' to a national adulterer in 'Good Partner.' He explained his reason for choosing the villain role, saying, "An actor must give catharsis to the public with diverse colors." He shared humorous anecdotes, including getting hit on the back at a gas station due to his adulterer character and hearing comments like "He's a bad guy" at weddings. Notably, he mentioned a line, "Do I have evidence?" reflecting that reading the script made him break into a cold sweat.

On the other hand, he expressed a deep affection for the role of 'General Yang Gyu.' He shared behind-the-scenes stories of visiting a temple to pay respects on the anniversary and voluntarily participating in horseback riding training. He especially expressed pride that the 'warrior scene' was filmed in a condition that felt like minus 10 degrees Celsius while stating that this scene was the 'best minute.' Ji Seung-hyun revealed his hidden piano skills by performing the drama's OST 'Phoenix,' moving the studio.

Tei confessed to being particularly nervous about appearing on 'Radio Star,' saying, "I can't eat the day before an appearance," bringing laughter. On the other hand, he showcased his presence as the original 'Ne-gok Nae-gok.'

He showcased his perfect vocal talent by performing a live version of his representative song 'Love Leaves a Scent,' and shared an anecdote about the special MR he created due to a failed intro timing, raising the atmosphere. He explained the background of another singer's song that became a bigger topic after his cover and showcased his singing ability with a medley. Finally, he drew attention by singing Day6's 'You Were Beautiful,' a song that many covet.

Tei clarified his statement that 'being a celebrity is great' by explaining, "The original intention was to convey that what I'm doing is the best," expressing his sincerity. He added, "I realized how precious my accumulated career is." Known as a legend in the mukbang scene, he recounted a story of eating nine bowls of rice at a restaurant, saying, "Pork belly is just a side dish," and named DAY6's Young K as his successor in mukbang, analyzing the dining tempo while showcasing his aspect as a 'mukbang philosopher.'

He gained sympathy from viewers by being genuinely invested in food and the stage, dominating the atmosphere with his delicate yet cheerful talk.

Heo Gyeong-hwan proved once again the grandeur of being the 'entertainment cheat key' by making the special name a catchphrase with his 11th appearance on 'Radio Star.' He boasted about the presence of 'fixed-but-not-fixed' guests, saying, "There are some writers who like me." He enumerated various specials he appeared on in the past on 'Radio Star,' explaining the reason he is beloved by writers by saying he even thrived in ambiguous specials that didn't suit him.

He seriously explained his 'butt towel tanning' philosophy, demonstrating precautions for tanning and how to tan evenly, causing everyone to burst into laughter. He shared a saying that 'a sagging butt is unappealing' along with his butt exercise routine.

He also confessed to considering surgery to increase his height. After opening a YouTube channel and finding himself lacking content, he became intrigued after hearing from an orthopedic doctor friend that 'you can grow about 5 cm in three months', seriously contemplating using it as YouTube content. When the MCs urged him not to, Heo Gyeong-hwan humorously responded, "My life is more important."
