Actor Kim Geum-soon, who left a strong presence as 'Jenny's mom' in When Life Gives You Tangerines, visited Radio Star. From the story of almost taking on the role of a haenyeo in When Life Gives You Tangerines to the behind-the-scenes tales that spawned catchphrases like 'as it should be' and 'Sky 37 pyeong', the active role of the specialist in strong characters is anticipated.
The upcoming episode airing on Wednesday, Nov. 11, on MBC Radio Star (planned by Kang Young-seon / directed by Kim Myung-yeop, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byeon Da-hee) will feature Do Ji-won, Kim Geum-soon, Cha Cheong-hwa, and Han Ji-eun in a 'Actors' Special' episode.
Kim Geum-soon will share behind-the-scenes stories from When Life Gives You Tangerines, where he garnered attention for his role as Jenny's mom. He revealed that he originally wanted to play the haenyeo role and kept asking the director, but ultimately was cast as 'Jenny's mom'. With the drama's success, he has been receiving numerous love calls, to the extent that he does not envy the popularity of global star BLACKPINK's Jenny.
Kim Geum-soon drew public attention by creating numerous online memes with lines like 'as it should be' and 'Sky 37 pyeong!' in a Gyeongsang dialect. He vividly reenacted the scene in When Life Gives You Tangerines where he asked IU to help with his daughter's proxy exam, bringing lots of laughter.
He shared that he met IU through his role as a brothel owner in the past movie Broker, and he feels sorry for only having troubled her whenever they met in the productions, saying, 'I hope we'll meet in a good relationship next time,' which drew laughter.
Additionally, comedian Lee Hyun-jung certified her fandom by cosplaying as 'Jenny's mom' through Gag Concert, and there was a story of Park Bo-gum also admitting to being a fan after seeing him, revealing that he is truly enjoying his prime.
Lastly, Kim Geum-soon sought advice from his respected senior actor Go Doo-shim before appearing on Radio Star, mentioning that he was told to 'sing a song,' hinting at a powerful performance of the song 'I am a firefly,' which builds anticipation.
Kim Geum-soon's wit, sincerity, and unique sense of humor can be confirmed on Wednesday night, Nov. 11, at 10:30 p.m. on MBC Radio Star.
