Comedian Kim Gyuwon shares a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from a Paju set shoot where he appeared in a Kim Jong Un parody costume alongside Lee Sooji. The upcoming episode of Radio Star, airing on the 12th as part of the Talent Ivy League special, features guests Ji Hyunwoo, Kim Gyuwon, Ivy, and Kim Junhyun.
Kim Gyuwon introduces himself as a 27-year-old rising comedian who debuted just before Comedy Big League was canceled. He recently gained attention for his performance with Lee Sooji on SNL Korea, explaining that he earned the role by impersonating a complaining elderly man he once encountered during his audition. The MCs praise him as the breakout star of SNL Korea.
He recounts a comical incident that unfolded while he was in his Kim Jong Un parody costume on the Paju set, leaving the studio laughing. He also describes an embarrassing drive-thru moment, admitting that he could barely lower the window because he felt so self-conscious about his appearance.
Kim Gyuwon goes on to discuss his unexpected connections with Yoo Seyoon, Kim Gura, and Jang Doyeon. He surprises the studio with stories from his high school and college years, including memories of spending time in Room 201 with Yoo Seyoon and his early ties to both Kim Gura and Jang Doyeon.
To wrap up, Kim analyzes the comedic styles of peers such as plus-sized comedy veterans Kim Junhyun and Moon Seyoon, along with fellow performers Na Seonwook and Moon Sanghoon. His sharp impressions, ranging from high-energy characters to noir-style acts, earn high praise from the MCs for his observational talent. The episode of Radio Star airs at 10:30 PM on its scheduled date.
