Kim Min-kyung, an editor at a publishing house, makes her first appearance on 'Radio Star,' revealing her main job, her YouTube activities, and her fateful journey to employment after six years of being jobless. Having gained recognition through her company's YouTube channel, she is currently one of the hottest employees, having achieved the remarkable feat of selling out a 1,500-seat concert for 'Non-mainstream Guest' in just five seconds, with a waiting list of 20,000 people, signaling the presence of a true idol in the publishing world.

The episode of MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yun-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, and Byun Da-hee), airing on the 24th, is specially themed "Everyone is Fighting Their Own Convictions," featuring Lee Ji-young, Kim Dae-ho, Kyung Soo-jin, and Kim Min-kyung.

Kim Min-kyung, a sixth-year editor in the overseas literature division at Minumsa, introduces her main job, which involves overseeing the entire process of a book reaching readers, from translation contracts to cover design and marketing. She describes the daily life of an editor who spends the whole day proofreading manuscripts, correcting typos, and refining sentences, and shares her recent updates on how she became known to the public through her company's YouTube channel, 'Minumsa TV,' and appearances in various content programs.

In particular, Kim Min-kyung mentions the intense popularity she gained through 'Non-mainstream Guest.' She reveals that she never expected content where people with distinct tastes gather to freely discuss movies, comics, and books would receive such widespread love. She further stirs the studio by reporting that the 1,500-seat offline concert sold out in five seconds, with a waiting list reaching 20,000 people.

Kim Min-kyung's personalized book recommendations are also revealed. She personally selects books for the MCs, drawing everyone's attention, and introduces a special (?) book to Kim Gura, who is very interested in personal finance, eliciting admiration.

The conversation continues with realistic stories about balancing a full-time job and content creation. Kim Min-kyung reveals that she continues her YouTube and broadcasting activities by taking maternity leave or annual leave and filming after work. She shares the mindset of a corporate employee, saying, "If things don't go well, I can just go to work," explaining that having a main job allows her to engage in content activities more comfortably, bringing laughter to the studio.

Kim Min-kyung's remark about Kim Dae-ho as a 'black model' also turns the studio upside down. Emphasizing that she has no intention of quitting her job, she tells Kim Dae-ho, who opened up about his many concerns after declaring himself a freelancer, "When I feel like quitting, I think of announcer Kim Dae-ho." She even coins the new term 'black model' (?) as the opposite of 'role model,' adding to the laughter.

Kim Min-kyung also shares her fateful story of joining Minumsa after six years of being jobless. She reveals that while preparing for the media civil service exam, she applied to dozens of media companies but repeatedly faced final rejection. Because of this, she felt a strange emotion when entering the MBC building on the day of the 'Las' recording.

Stories about her family are also revealed. She expresses her endless gratitude, stating that thanks to her reliable family background, having attended Seoul National University's College of Pharmacy and Law School, she was able to spend her six years as a jobless person without worry. The MCs exclaim, "A family that smells of books," in admiration.
