On 'Radio Star', physician Hong Hye-keol names himself the "number one man who benefits from his wife," revealing the joyful daily life of a fortunate husband.
The episode airing on the night of the 19th on MBC's 'Radio Star' (hereinafter 'RAS') is themed as "After All, I Didn't Die, Hee-Hee." Guests include Hong Hye-keol, HaHa, Park Young-jin, and Heo Ki-shiba-seki.
Hong Hye-keol visits 'Radio Star' for the second time in six years. He honestly confesses that his wife, physician Esther Yeo, has already appeared on 'RAS' five times, so he felt a bit hurt thinking, "Why don't they call me?" Although he started appearing on broadcasts, commercials, and lectures before his wife did, at some point Esther gained greater popularity, prompting him to reveal a cute sense of jealousy.
In particular, the person who sparked Hong Hye-keol's jealousy is MC Kim Gura. Every time Esther Yeo returned after filming 'RAS', she praised Kim Gura for taking good care of her. Hong Hye-keol emphasizes that it is important not to be intimidated by Kim Gura's demeanor and suddenly proposes a height comparison. Eventually, they measure their heights on the spot, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
Hong Hye-keol also reveals the story behind his decision to stay closer to his wife Esther. He explains that out of consideration for Esther, who suffers from depression, he lived apart in Jeju for about five years. Then, after sending her photos taken in Jeju and receiving a reply from Esther Yeo, he packed his bags and moved back to Seoul the very next day. He adds that he currently lives shuttling between Seoul and Jeju, further piquing curiosity as he plans to share more related details.
When mentioned that he is now called the "ideal man" for South Korean men, Hong Hye-keol's confidence explodes. When figures such as Jang Hang-jun, husband of screenwriter Kim Eun-hee and director of a "ten-million-viewer" film, and Lee Sang-soon, singer and husband of Lee Hyo-ri, are cited as "husbands who married well," Hong Hye-keol declares, "I am overwhelmingly number one," naming himself the best and drawing laughter. He even reveals that he directly asked an AI (artificial intelligence) who benefits most from his wife's support, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
At the same time, he shows special affection for his wife. Hong Hye-keol states that he and Esther Yeo lie in bed almost every night, talking about the day's events for about an hour before falling asleep. When he explains that they call this exclusive time "Jjijji-jjojjyo (?)," the MCs get flustered over the meaning of the name, triggering a big laugh.
Hong Hye-keol's new object of fandom is also revealed. The protagonist is Seolho, a tiger at Seoul National University Park. To capture Seolho properly, he even acquired a telephoto lens and visited Seoul National University Park nearly ten times despite the scorching heat reaching 39 degrees, surprising everyone. He also mentions preparing a YouTube channel to upload videos he took himself, showing his unique side as a "tiger fanatic."
He reveals that besides tigers, there is another unique existence (?) he embraces and talks to every morning in the yard, drawing the MCs' attention.
Hong Hye-keol's confident wit as the self-proclaimed "number one man who benefits from his wife" can be seen on 'RAS', airing at 10:30 p.m. on the night of the 19th.
