Apr 22, 2025

Actor Ko Jun will appear on a terrestrial talk show for the first time with his radio star. As an actor with 25 years of experience, he frankly tells the story of his life in New York after overcoming knee injuries and slumps.

MBC 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-sun / Director Kim Myung-yeop, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee), which will be broadcast at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the 23rd, will be decorated with a special feature of 'The Essence of a Mister These Days' starring Ko Joon, K.Will, Kim Poong, and Gangnam. In this broadcast, MC Kim Kook-jin will leave for his mother's image, and comedian Lee Yong-jin will be the MC.

Ko Jun impressed viewers by showing off his "adult sexiness" in the dramas 'The Fiery Priest' and 'Death to Snow White-Black Out' (hereinafter 'Death to Snow White'). He is applauded for showing pride as an actor by revealing the behind-the-scenes story of his appearance in 『Death to Snow White』 and for being invited to the 7th Cannes International Series Festival non-competitive section.

Go Joon also talks about 's "collared retail fashion" that drew attention from the reality show 'I Live Alone', confessing that it is his usual real home fashion. Then, his unconventional fashion style was further revealed, and the studio was heated up.

He said he made his face known in the movie 'Taza2', and he also tells the story of learning life acting by recruiting local characters for acting. He surprised everyone by revealing the identity of the person he had been with for three months. Ko Joon then confessed that he was fluent in 5 out of 8 national degrees dialect by playing characters from various regions, as well as 'this word', arousing the curiosity of MCs. He also reveals behind-the-scenes stories of real-life action acting that gave birth to a life character in 『The Fiery Priest』, which received 22% viewership.

Ko Jun is drawing attention as he faces a turning point in his life during the hiatus that came with a major injury. He said "The cruciate ligament in his knee was broken in both the anterior and lateral sides and underwent major surgery", confessing that he was mentally struggling after two years of treatment. He then tells a behind-the-scenes story, saying that he was encouraged to do art therapy and drew. The painting he painted was eventually exhibited in New York, so I'm curious about the whole story.

Meanwhile, 'Radio Star', which contains Ko Jun's charm without exit, will air on MBC at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday 23rd.
