On an episode of 'Radio Star,' Lee Chang-ho revealed the story behind his decision to give up on winning a housing subscription for The Penthouse.

The upcoming Wednesday night broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' on the 12th will feature a special episode titled "Forget the Heat~ Let It Go," starring entertainer Hong Hyun-hee, musical music director Kim Moon-jeong, comedian Lee Chang-ho, and magician Yoo Ho-jin.

Lee Chang-ho first caught attention through a segment called 'Musical Star' on a YouTube channel, where he parodied Lola from 'Kinky Boots' as 'Jurirola,' sparking buzz and leading to a connection with Kim Moon-jeong. After receiving vocal coaching from Kim, he continued their collaboration and later auditioned for the musical 'Frozen,' successfully landing the role of Olaf. He revealed that he would meet Kim again on stage through this production. Kim Moon-jeong added to the surprise by noting that Lee's acceptance was the result of Disney headquarters' rigorous evaluation process.

Lee Chang-ho also shared insights into his daily life as a 'musical actor.' His portrayal of Olaf involves both an actor and a puppet working together to create a single character, requiring the actor's movements and expressions to perfectly synchronize with the puppet. On stage, since it is Olaf who must be seen rather than Lee himself, fellow actors are instructed to make eye contact with the puppet instead of Lee—a unique acting technique that has drawn significant interest.

As this marks his musical debut, Lee Chang-ho revealed that he fully embraces the role of the youngest member within the production. He even respectfully addresses child actors playing young Elsa and Anna as 'senior,' despite their younger age. By seeking direct feedback from these child actor seniors after watching their performances, he demonstrates a serious approach to adapting to acting life, eliciting both laughter and admiration.

Meanwhile, Lee Chang-ho also disclosed a personal financial setback that reignited his drive. Feeling anxious as colleagues around him advanced while he seemed left behind, he began studying real estate to prepare for the future. During this time, he won a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity through The Penthouse housing subscription but later admitted to giving it up within just a few days, sparking curiosity about his reasons.

Lee Chang-ho also directly addressed recent controversies surrounding 'actor sickness.' Declaring his intention to quell the rumors with his acting skills, he performed a comedic scene featuring the duo 'Nerd Nam X Handsome Man,' surprising everyone in the process. Viewers will be able to witness Lee Chang-ho's deepened acting abilities as he fully embodies the role of a musical actor during the broadcast.

He also shared updates on his efforts to nurture the next generation of comedians, with his own younger brother taking center stage. Currently working alongside Lee Chang-ho, his younger brother dreams of becoming an influencer and frequently appears in Lee's content. During the studio appearance, the brother revealed ambitious plans to exploit his older brother's weaknesses, bringing laughter to the audience. The two are set to perform a sibling sketch on the spot, further raising expectations.

Meanwhile, 'Radio Star' will air on Wednesday at 10:30 p.m.
