Actor Oh Man-seok will share his recent status as a "prolific star," who has been continuously active in theater and musicals, directing, and teaching without a break. When asked about the secret to his non-stop work, he surprisingly reveals honestly that he "significantly lowered my price range," adding self-deprecating humor by saying, "When my fees go down, humility naturally follows," which brings laughter.

MBC's 'Radio Star' (Planned by Choi Yoon-jung / Directed by Yoon Hye-jin, Hwang Yun-sang, Byeon Da-hee, Yang In-hye), airing on the 7th, will feature a special episode titled "You Can't Just Sit There~" with Chae Kang-hee, Oh Man-seok, Kim Won-hyo, and Yang Chi-seung.

Oh Man-seok reveals that he has been handling a non-stop schedule recently. After finishing 'Dead Poets Society,' which started in July, he is currently starring in the play 'Closer' with Chae Kang-hee. He also notes that regional performances, musical directing schedules, and university classes are lined up one after another.

He also candidly shares the realistic secret behind his prolific work. Oh Man-seok mentions that he has significantly lowered his fees, joking, "Even at this price, I would think I shouldn't do it, but I do." He then says, "When my fees go down, humility naturally follows," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

His resentment toward Kim Goo-ra, whom he hasn't seen in 10 years, also erupts. Oh Man-seok reveals that he clearly remembers when Kim Goo-ra praised him during his previous appearance on 'Radio Star' and actively suggested they appear together on the show. He says he truly waited for contact, but 10 years have passed, leaving Kim Goo-ra flustered. Eventually, Oh Man-seok recreates the dance that Kim Goo-ra had highly praised at the time after 10 years, heating up the studio atmosphere.

Oh Man-seok's generous senior persona is also revealed. He shares that he has organized so-called "Man-seok Tours," where he gathers actors and staff to travel together after finishing dramas, plays, or musicals. Groups of 20 to 30 people, and sometimes up to about 50, traveled overseas together, with Oh Man-seok covering accommodation costs and more. However, due to financial circumstances, he found it difficult to continue, revealing that he closed the "Man-seok Tour" at the end of last year, eliciting laughter.

He also brings up a funny and painful episode from working with Hyun Bin in the drama 'Crash Landing on You.' Appearing as Hyun Bin's superior in the drama, he reveals that during their first meeting scene, he ended up standing below on a slope, which made the height difference more prominent, so he directly changed his movement path. He then shares that during flat-ground filming, the camera crew quietly brought an "apple box" for him to stand on, allowing him to match eye level with Hyun Bin, causing bursts of laughter.

Oh Man-seok's unique crisis management method, gained from experiencing countless stages, is also revealed. When he suddenly forgets song lyrics during a performance, he improvises and sings lyrics that fit the content right there on the spot. He mentions that he has a habit of turning any word into a song even in daily life, and on 'Radio Star,' he completes a song with realistic lyrics on the spot using the theme "performance fee," eliciting both admiration and laughter.
