Former national tennis player Lee Hyung-taek will openly discuss the full story behind the assault allegations involving former national taekwondo player Lee Dae-hoon.

According to the production team of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star' (planning by Choi Yoon-jeong, directed by Yun Hye-jin, Hwang Yoon-sang, Byun Da-hee, and Yang In-hye), the episode airing on the 16th will feature a special titled "Nagoya-Ho! Asian Games" with guests Lee Hyung-taek, Lee Hye-jeong, Jo Jun-ho, and Minami.

Visiting 'Radio Star' for the second time, Lee Hyung-taek immediately reveals his unique ambition in variety shows. After the JTBC variety program 'Let's Play Together' concluded, he expressed feeling empty-hearted and shared his honest wish: "I have so much free time these days; I hope to join a regular variety show soon."

While acknowledging that appearing on two programs might be too ambitious, he also shares concrete plans to appear in one regular show while occasionally joining other programs, drawing laughter from the audience.

He further analyzes the fierce competition among former athletes entering variety shows. With more athletes now participating in broadcasting, Lee Hyung-taek is contemplating where he should position himself and offers candid evaluations of Yoon Seok-min, Hwang Jae-kyun, and Kim Young-kwang.

In response, the MCs highlight Lee Hyung-taek's signature 'kanjuk' character, discovering his unique variety show competitiveness. Meanwhile, Lee Hyung-taek actively seizes opportunities to create moments of humor, turning the set into a sea of laughter.

Notably, Lee Hyung-taek directly addresses the past assault allegations involving Lee Dae-hoon. He explains that the incident began when he and Lee Dae-hoon fell together while Lee was helping him return home after drinking. However, over time, the story evolved into claims that Lee Dae-hoon assaulted him, eventually escalating to rumors that he placed an apple on his head and kicked it, with even a peach appearing in the gossip, adding flesh to the rumor and surprising everyone.

Lee Hyung-taek also reveals why he did not actively address the issue at the time. He states that being drunk was not something to be proud of, and due to embarrassment, he had no desire to clarify the matter. However, he explains that false stories continued to accumulate, distorting the actual situation.

He also shares special memories related to the Asian Games. Having experienced the Asian Games stage multiple times, Lee Hyung-taek reveals that he missed his fourth participation due to injury at the Incheon Asian Games.

Instead of standing on the court as an athlete, he made a strong presence as a key torchbearer during the opening ceremony. He particularly recalls the moment when he carried the torch up the stairs and handed it directly to actress Lee Young-ae, adding that he even tried to make eye contact with her, bringing laughter to the audience.

In today's broadcast, a pride showdown unfolds between Lee Hyung-taek and judo national team member Jo Jun-ho. While Lee emphasizes Asian Games medals, Jo highlights the value of Olympic medals, leading to a tense confrontation. The situation escalates to the point where the MCs step in as mediators in their no-compromise verbal battle over tennis and judo.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyung-taek also shares updates on his middle school daughter, who resembles him not only in appearance but also in her tennis style. She recently won a tournament, gaining confidence, and after watching the US Open together, expressed her desire to train even harder. Viewers will also see Lee's proud expression as he watches his daughter dream of following in his footsteps on the world stage. The episode airs at 10:30 PM on the 16th.
