Actor Choi Jin-hyeok shares his true friendship story with comedian Lee Guk-ju.
The July 1 broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' will feature a special episode titled 'National Representative Sons,' with Ryu Soo-young, Choi Jin-hyeok, Yoon Si-yoon, and San-deul as guests.
On this day, Choi Jin-hyeok reveals Ryu Soo-young's long-winded talk during their joint appearance in the musical 'Those Days.' He explains that while director Jang Yu-jeong tends to give direct directions to actors, it was not easy to direct Ryu Soo-young because his explanations would often make the story drag on.
His unique passion for action is also revealed. Mentioning the sword-fighting scene in the musical 'Those Days,' Choi Jin-hyeok states that while the martial arts director's request was to perform safely, he believed it must not look fake to the camera or the audience.

His special friendship with Lee Guk-ju is also revealed. Choi Jin-hyeok says that when he first met Lee Guk-ju through a program, he asked for her number first because he wanted to become friends. However, Lee Guk-ju misunderstood this as a sign of romantic interest. Choi Jin-hyeok explains that he had no such intention at the time and shares how the two became close friends.
Afterward, Lee Guk-ju served as the MC for Choi Jin-hyeok's fan meeting and even joined him at a fan meeting in Japan, taking photos with fans, demonstrating her steadfast loyalty. A story was also revealed where she personally visited his recent performance to offer support, and Choi Jin-hyeok expressed his gratitude to Lee Guk-ju. Adding to the heartwarming atmosphere, it was shared that Choi Jin-hyeok's mother gave Lee Guk-ju sesame oil she made herself as a gift.
