Actor Ahn Jae-wook will reveal a daily life that is no different from that of a parenting influencer on "Radio Star."

The MBC program "Radio Star," airing at 10:30 p.m. on the 4th, will feature a special episode titled "Possible People." Guests include Ahn Jae-wook, Jung Young-joo, NMIXX's Lily, and Yoo Byung-gwon.

On this day, Ahn Jae-wook states, "During periods when I am not working on projects, I make an effort to spend more time with my children." He explains, "Having become a father at a later age, I feel that the time spent creating memories with my children is even more precious. Therefore, I try to focus as much as possible during moments I can share with them."

In particular, Ahn Jae-wook reveals his unique family love by personally preparing birthday meals for his two children with his wife, musical theater actress Choi Hyeon-joo, who is nine years younger than him. Known for celebrating both the lunar and solar calendar birthdays of his wife, he says he prepares seaweed soup and japchae as a standard, and even makes galbi jjim (braised short ribs) depending on what the family wants, surprising everyone. He mentions that he has continued preparing these birthday meals for over 10 years. However, he also reveals practical difficulties despite his dedication to his family, eliciting laughter.

Ahn Jae-wook's activities do not stay confined to the home. He reveals that he is a father who receives casting calls from his daughter's school. After participating in a volunteer activity of reading books to children, he recently received an invitation to be the MC for his daughter's school sports day, drawing attention.

On the other hand, Ahn Jae-wook also shares the story of facing off against BIGBANG's Taeyang in a "Dad's Race" at his son's kindergarten sports day. He says he was placed in the same group as Taeyang, who is also a parent, for the race, and recalls, "At the time, I could only endlessly look at Taeyang's back." Attention is focused on what kind of result Ahn Jae-wook received after stepping into this unexpected showdown.

His new challenges as an actor continue. Ahn Jae-wook reveals that he took on the role of a 70-year-old man for the first time through the musical "Let Me Fly." He explains that in a work featuring the same character in his youth and old age, he meticulously studied not only white hair makeup but also hunched posture and voice to express the elderly appearance.

In particular, on this day, Ahn Jae-wook cannot hide his admiration while watching the performance of Yoo Byung-gwon, who is active in a grandmother character. He was surprised by the explanation that Yoo Byung-gwon had concretized the character by observing the movements and speech patterns of the elderly. Ahn Jae-wook says he feels like he is the one learning instead, and applauds Yoo Byung-gwon's delicate character research.

A story is also revealed about Ahn Jae-wook standing shoulder to shoulder with actual major corporate chairmen after playing a chaebol chairman in the drama "Please Take Care of My Eagle Five Brothers." He reveals that he attended an event related to a state visit as a cultural envoy and ended up sitting at the head table alongside the chairmen of major domestic companies. He shares his candid feelings about this unexpected situation where he, who had played a chaebol chairman in a drama, sat among actual chaebol chairmen, heightening curiosity.

Additionally, Ahn Jae-wook recalls the time when he performed cross-dressing in the movie "Jjim," which he filmed with Kim Hye-soo in the past. He explains that because plans to work with an overseas special makeup team fell through, he had to complete a female appearance using general makeup methods. He reveals that he had to spend about three hours on makeup every day to hide stubble marks, and through this experience, he newly understood the difficulties actresses face when preparing for long periods before filming.

From the daily life of an "all-in" dad who moves directly for his wife and children, to a sports day showdown with BIGBANG's Taeyang, and the passion of an actor challenging new roles, Ahn Jae-wook's special stories can be seen on "Radio Star," airing at 10:30 p.m. on the 4th.
