Actor Kim Min reveals the story of how he took on a bold, unscripted ad-lib in front of Choi Min-sik during the first filming of 'Casino.'

MBC's 'Radio Star' (Planner: Choi Yoon-jung / Directors: Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yun-sang, Byeon Da-hee, Yang In-hye), airing on the 28th, will feature a special episode titled "I Will Become a Wild Man~" with appearances by Lee Gye-in, Yoon Tak, Yook Jung-wan, and Kim Min.

On this day, Kim Min shares his unique experience working alongside Choi Min-sik in the Disney+ series 'Casino.' Having learned acting by watching Choi Min-sik's works for a long time, he expresses exceptional respect while recalling the moment he met his senior colleague on the actual filming set.

In particular, Kim Min opens up about his deliberations over a bold ad-lib not in the script ahead of the first shoot for 'Casino.' He wanted to incorporate a rough swearing gesture into the scene's situation but found it difficult to make the decision because his counterpart was senior actor Choi Min-sik. He reveals that he spent about a week agonizing over whether or not to perform the ad-lib before filming, drawing attention.

Kim Min states that after much deliberation, he went ahead with the ad-lib during the actual shoot and was surprised by Choi Min-sik's unexpected response. He vividly reenacts the situation at the time, sharing the special moment of working with his senior colleague. He also reveals behind-the-scenes details about receiving acting lessons directly from Choi Min-sik afterward. Kim Min notes that he frequently asked Choi Min-sik questions about acting that had been on his mind on set. He recalls that it was such a precious time that he took down the guidance directly by hand.

On the other hand, Kim Min reveals martial arts skills as exceptional as his striking appearance. Having started taekwondo in childhood, he discloses that he is an extraordinary practitioner with a combined rank of 10th dan in martial arts.

In particular, Kim Min showcases dazzling kicks and aikido techniques on the spot, heating up the atmosphere. As the martial arts demonstration unfolds in an instant, the MCs' admiration continues, and a situation arises where Kim Gura himself directly experiences the techniques. Kim Min's exceptional skills, which left "painless" Kim Gura unable to move (?), and the reactions of the watching cast bring laughter.

Additionally, Kim Min reveals that he is often mistaken for a foreigner due to his exotic appearance. However, he is actually a native Korean from Dongducheon. Having played characters of various nationalities in works such as 'Casino,' where he appeared as an enforcer for a Philippine gang, 'Thief: The Sword's Voice,' and 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' he shares the story of becoming an actor specializing in foreign roles.

Kim Min's free-spirited overseas life experiences also catch the eye. He opens up about his experience living with a car as his home while working various jobs abroad.

Kim Min reveals that he originally prepared for employment abroad to work in the architecture field. However, while looking for a way to quickly improve his insufficient English skills, he enrolled in an acting academy, and through that job, he stepped into the world of acting.

Along with this, he also shares unusual part-time job experiences. Kim Min reveals that he worked a part-time job helping medical students handle situations, surprising everyone.

Furthermore, Kim Min discloses his unique background as a dancer during his time abroad and performs a dance. The unpredictable dance moves and exceptional energy elicit reactions from the MCs, filling the scene with laughter.
