'Radio Star' features magician Yoo Ho-jin, who reveals his dazzling career—from becoming the first Asian to win the FISM (World Magic Olympics) Grand Prix to his activities with a world-class magic team. The episode also highlights the dramatic moment he finally received the Golden Buzzer on his third attempt at 'America's Got Talent,' along with his high-quality magic show that captivated the MCs.

The MBC program 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yoon-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yun-sang, and Byun Da-hee), airing on the 12th, will feature a special episode titled "Forget the Heat~ Let It Go," with hosts Hong Hyun-hee, musical director Kim Moon-jeong, comedian Lee Chang-ho, and magician Yoo Ho-jin.

Yoo Ho-jin makes his appearance by revealing his historic achievement as the first Asian to win the Grand Prix at the World Magic Olympics FISM, immediately drawing attention. He then shares his journey of joining 'The Illusionists,' one of the world's top magic teams, and performing on global stages, showcasing the unique career of a world-class magician.

In particular, behind-the-scenes details about his 'America's Got Talent' Golden Buzzer moment have drawn significant interest. Yoo Ho-jin reveals that during his third attempt, his primary goal was not to win but to secure the Golden Buzzer, which grants direct passage to the live finals. After his previous attempts, he decided he could not succeed alone and formed a team, preparing for the stage with the resolve to "go all out."

The result was dramatic. Immediately after Yoo Ho-jin's performance ended, there were movements to press the Golden Buzzer, and eventually, one judge threw himself over the table in an active effort to trigger it. The unexpected outpouring of the Golden Buzzer and the live audience's reaction are vividly conveyed, sending shivers through the studio.

The skills of this world-class magician will be directly verified in the 'Ras' studio. Yoo Ho-jin introduces the genre of 'manipulation,' which relies entirely on hand techniques, presenting magic that seems unbelievable right before one's eyes. He also prepares a special card trick specifically for the skeptical Kim Gura. On this day, Yoo Ho-jin is set to perform a dazzling magic show alongside Hundred Fingerz, the team behind the Golden Buzzer on 'America's Got Talent.' Even the MCs, who initially viewed magic with suspicion, are gradually captivated by Yoo Ho-jin's fingertips, promising much laughter.

Stories of his global tours across the world stage are also revealed. Yoo Ho-jin discloses that he and the world's top magic team, 'The Illusionists,' performed over 4,500 times in as many as 63 countries, surprising everyone. He shares his unique journey of establishing himself as a world-class magician through experiences gained from meeting audiences worldwide and progressing to Broadway stages.

Following the dazzling global tour, there was also a terrifying moment. During a performance in Dubai, an unexpected incident occurred because he was unaware of cultural differences while taking photos with royalty present at the venue. Yoo Ho-jin reveals that bodyguards around him momentarily pointed guns at him, shocking everyone. The story of that tense time, which was even more nerve-wracking than during performances, is now revealed, raising further curiosity.
