Actress Yoon Mi-ra will make her first appearance on an entertainment program since her debut.

The episode of MBC's "Radio Star," airing on the 29th (planned by Choi Yun-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, and Byun Da-hee), will feature a special titled "Miracle Ras" with Yoon Mi-ra, Gangnam, Han-da-gam, and Park Ji-hyun.

Despite working as an actress for decades, Yoon Mi-ra had rarely appeared on entertainment programs. On this day, she makes her first-ever appearance on such a program since her debut. Even though it is her first time, Yoon Mi-ra delivers witty remarks from the start of filming. She asks fellow cast members not to call her "teacher" but to address her as "older sister." She also responds honestly to Kim Goo-ra, who appears softer than usual, turning the set into a sea of laughter.

Recently, Yoon Mi-ra launched a YouTube channel and revealed a miraculous moment when her first video garnered nearly 2 million views. At first, she did not fully understand the significance of view counts but was surprised by the unexpectedly intense response. She shared that she dedicated herself entirely to content creation, even revealing her daily life, home, and wearing swimsuits.

Yoon Mi-ra initially read comments all night due to the explosive reaction at the start of her YouTube journey, but as time passed and view counts gradually declined, she admitted to having many concerns recently. Upon hearing this, Gangnam promised to support Yoon Mi-ra by directly generating content ideas to boost her YouTube views.

The secret to maintaining her timeless beauty is also revealed. Yoon Mi-ra disclosed that in her 30s, she followed an acquaintance to a famous plastic surgery clinic but was told by the doctor, "Do not touch your face." She expressed relief that she did not undergo surgery at the time, citing her natural skin, thorough cleansing, and quality cosmetics as the keys to her appearance.

Her unique passion for fashion also draws attention. Yoon Mi-ra stated, "I may not have a husband, but I own three rooms full of clothes," revealing that she possesses approximately 50 pairs of jeans alone. She explained her personal fashion philosophy: choosing clothes that suit her rather than following trends, and frequently wearing jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers.

Her journey to becoming an actress unfolds like a movie. Yoon Mi-ra revealed that at age 19, she discovered a recruitment notice for new actors in a newspaper and applied, overcoming a competition ratio of 5,000-to-1. As a short-haired student without makeup, she felt intimidated by the formidable applicants but recalled being able to face the audition thanks to her mother's encouraging words: "You are the prettiest."

Yoon Mi-ra also recalled the moment she found her name on the list of successful candidates and saw her mother faint from joy. Although they rushed to a hospital, they had no money for medical fees. In that difficult situation, a doctor told them, "You must succeed," and sent them away without charging treatment costs—a heartwarming story.

Yoon Mi-ra then sang "Spring Day Is Gone" while thinking of her mother, who has been by her side throughout her life. The cast members were deeply moved as Yoon Mi-ra performed the song she loved in her lifetime with sincere emotion.
