Basketball player Kang I-seul revealed an anecdote about becoming a hot topic as a beautiful player in China.

MBC's 'Radio Star,' broadcast on the 21st, was themed "Made in Korea," featuring guests Kim Young-beom, Choi Jun-yong, Kang I-seul, Biwesa Daniel Gasama, and Namadi Joel Jin.

On this day, Kang I-seul revealed that she had been looking forward to appearing on variety shows after winning a gold medal at the Asian Games. She showed candid wit, saying, "Since I won the gold medal, I thought it was time for offers from terrestrial broadcasters to come in. I thought 'Radio Star' would invite me too, and sure enough, they did."

Kang I-seul then shared that her appearance had become a topic locally in China. She stated, "After the Asian Games in China, player Park So-hee and I became hot topics as beautiful players. Many articles were written about it."

In particular, Kang I-seul said, "I am bare-faced during games, but it was fine," explaining, "I play without any makeup at all. Since we collide a lot physically, I only apply sunscreen."

When asked if she had ever heard that she resembled a celebrity, she mentioned actress Kim Hye-soo. When the cast suggested she also resembled Kim Hyun-joo, Kang I-seul added, "I have also heard about Kim Jae-kyung." However, Choi Jun-yong, who was listening, quietly grumbled, "Isn't Kim Hye-soo a bit of a stretch?" eliciting laughter.

It turned out that the two had been long-time friends since elementary school. Choi Jun-yong explained, "In the provinces, we played many practice games and often met while training," and Kang I-seul revealed that she is from Sacheon, Gyeongnam Province. Choi Jun-yong also mentioned being from Masan, stating that they built their friendship by training in nearby areas.

Watching the two banter with each other, Kim Gu-ra joked, "You two look like a couple," but the two took it seriously and drew a clear line.

When asked if anyone had ever asked Choi Jun-yong to introduce him to Kang I-seul, he answered decisively, "Not once," bringing laughter again.
