Actor Hwang Seok-jeong appears on 'Radio Star' to share his current status. He openly reveals that he has been working alone for three years without an agency and shares the surprising daily life of living as a "farmer" while personally tending to a 1,000-pyeong farm. Additionally, after earning the title of "scene-stealer" again through the film 'Hope', he shares a story about receiving contact from a man he met only once 30 years ago, promising laughter.

The episode airing on the 26th on MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Choi Yoon-jeong; directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee, Yang In-hye) features a special "HOPE ATTACK" with Hwang Seok-jeong, Lee Jun-hyuk, Seo Eun-kwang, and Yu Young-woo.

Hwang Seok-jeong visits 'Ras' after a long time and honestly shares his recent activities. He mentions that people often ask him why he hasn't appeared on TV lately, clarifying that it wasn't intentional but rather due to a lack of casting opportunities. Having worked alone without an agency for about three years, he explains that he has remained active on theater stages and elsewhere without taking a break.

Recently returning as a "scene-stealer" after showcasing a powerful presence once again through the film 'Hope', Hwang Seok-jeong reveals that he received contact from many long-time acquaintances following the film's release. He expresses gratitude to actors Yeom Hye-ran and Lee Jung-eun, who have maintained their relationship since his theater days and reached out after watching the movie.

Notably, Hwang Seok-jeong reveals that he even received contact from a man he met only once 30 years ago, turning the studio into a sea of laughter. He expresses deep emotion over reconnecting with people he had lost touch with for a long time, all thanks to the film 'Hope', and conveys his feeling that the movie was like "hope" returning to his life.

A unique bond with director Na Hong-jin is also revealed, having worked together on three films: 'The Yellow Sea', 'The Wailing', and now 'Hope'. Hwang Seok-jeong recalls the tense filming scenes from the past and director Na's distinctive working style. When the phrase "Na Hong-jin's persona" comes up, Hwang Seok-jeong further reveals the unique (?) relationship between the two, adding more laughter to the scene.

He also shares a bittersweet story from the filming of 'Hope'. Having gone to the set alone without an agency or manager, he reveals that he took an intercity bus to reach the location. The real challenge came after filming ended. To secure a ride home, he tried hard to get close with fellow actors and looked at them longingly, turning the studio into a sea of laughter with his signature humor. He then honestly admits that he needs a "middleman" who can share his abundant energy, talent, and dreams, eliciting bursts of laughter.

Hwang Seok-jeong reveals that he has been personally raising landscaping trees and flower plants for several years. Upon explaining that he wakes up at 5 a.m., heads straight to the farm, sprays pesticides, prunes branches, and handles most tasks himself, even the MCs could not hide their surprise. He also shared an episode reminiscent of a movie, leaving everyone in awe. Hwang Seok-jeong confesses that he experienced a situation on land he previously purchased that closely resembled a scene from the film 'Exhuma', further fueling curiosity.

Recently, Hwang Seok-jeong reveals that he has become deeply immersed in making kimchi, stating that he made it about 30 times just this summer alone, surprising everyone. On this day, he presents homemade gochujang kimchi and various pickles made with herbs harvested directly from Jirisan, turning the studio into a storm of eating scenes.
