'Radio Star' reveals the story of broadcaster Haha being humiliated after confidently using the Busan dialect.

The the 19th broadcast of MBC's variety program 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yun-jeong, directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, and Byun Da-hee) features Hong Hye-geol, Haha, Park Young-jin, and Huki Shibaseki as guests for the special episode titled "As Expected, I Didn't Die, Hee-Hee."

During the broadcast, Haha revealed that he is preparing his first solo fan concert in 30 years since his debut. With performances scheduled for August 22 in Busan and September 13 in Seoul, he explained that although he has been active in broadcasting and music for a long time, this marks his first solo fan concert, prompting him to take on a new challenge.

Notably, Haha confessed that "his popularity is far below his level of recognition," turning the studio into a sea of laughter. He expressed frustration over difficulties in promotion due to many people not even knowing about the concert and lamented the steadily declining viewer count during live broadcasts.

Meanwhile, Haha also revealed with surprise that broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk had purchased tickets for the Seoul fan concert without his knowledge. When asked whether he would actually meet Yoo Jae-suk at the venue, he held back from answering, heightening curiosity.

He also shared updates on expanding his activities from being a 'Mapo District Security Officer' to serving as the Haeundae District Public Relations Ambassador. After gaining attention with his hit song 'Busan Vacation,' he was appointed as the ambassador and has recently been receiving love through the 'Busan Local Dialect' content. Although he had strong pride in the Busan dialect, he revealed that the content received reactions like "Don't use the dialect," sparking laughter.

He also shared a story about his jealousy exploding when his daughter Song-i, now in first grade, developed a boyfriend. Haha recounted how he accidentally witnessed a boy giving Song-i a ring and felt unexpected jealousy, bringing great amusement to the audience.

The conversation continued with stories about his unique "star radar" since childhood. Haha mentioned that among the children he has known since his early years, some have later become stars, and he also revealed a special connection with Joo-hoon, a member of the group Curtis.

Haha made a surprise retirement (?) announcement at 'Waterbomb,' where he had participated consistently for 10 years from the first event as an original member. However, he was absent from the lineup for the first time in 2024. He stated, "It's better for friends who fit well now to participate." But his follow-up comment immediately cast doubt on the sincerity of his retirement announcement, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Additionally, Huki Shibaseki revealed 'The Story of a Short Little Kid,' which he personally arranged specifically for Haha. Expectations are high for how Ha Ha-ui (CEO) will be reborn with Huki Shibaseki's unique style. The episode airs on the 19th at 10:30 PM.
