Actor Jung Joon-ho, who appeared on ‘Radio Star’, reveals the story of shaking hands with U.S. President Donald Trump and reveals his enormous ‘connections’ as a ‘global network king’. He surprises everyone by revealing that he currently has 15,000 contacts and wears 100 hats. In particular, he arouses curiosity by revealing that while filming the movie ‘Hitman 2’, he surprised the director by renting a boat needed for filming in just 10 minutes with just his ‘connections’.

The upcoming Wednesday night episode of MBC‘s ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) will feature a ‘No Entry Except for Managers’ special featuring Jung Joon-ho, Lee Hee-jin, Jung Hee-won, and Swings.

Jung Joon-ho, the entertainment industry’s representative network king, reveals his ‘global’connections. He surprised everyone by saying that not only the Prince and Princess of Dubai, but also the Mongolian Minister of Defense, a high-ranking official from the U.S. State Department, and a Canadian Minister came to his wedding, and he revealed that he rented out all the space in the hotel to accommodate 4,000-5,000 guests.

Jung Joon-ho also revealed the reason why he had his wife Lee Ha-jung‘s first meeting at a ‘hospital’, and everyone who heard it exclaimed in unison, ‘Lee Ha-jung is amazing!’, which makes us curious about the reason.



Jung Joon-ho recently played the role of the director of the National Intelligence Service in the movie ‘Hitman 2’. When the production crew was flustered because they could not airlift a boat while filming in Busan, he surprised the director by having an acquaintance launch a boat in 10 minutes. He also makes everyone laugh by explaining that the reason he doesn’t focus on acting is out of “consideration for other actors(?).”

In addition, Jung Joon-ho never forgets to talk about his close friend in the entertainment industry, actor Shin Hyun-joon. He recently criticized Shin Hyun-joon‘s acting, saying that he “didn’t suit” the role of a chairman in the drama “Iron Family.” He also makes everyone laugh by showing off his honest wit when talking about the performance of the movie “Ghost Cop” starring Shin Hyun-joon, saying, “Maybe next time...”

On the other hand, Jung Joon-ho, true to his reputation as a networking king, claims that he can know someone‘s personality or health just by “shaking their hand.” He shook hands with the guests on site and guessed their personalities and health conditions, and it is said that he even analyzed the health of Jeong Hee-won, a geriatrician, which was fun.

He also reveals the side of the ‘King of Hats’, who has held about 100 hats as a public relations ambassador for local governments and various organizations across the country. He says that although he sometimes ‘rejects’ when he receives offers to be a public relations ambassador for overlapping fields, he is evaluated as having no one who works as hard as he does for free.

Jeong Jun-ho has been rumored to ‘enter politics’ every time he has served as a public relations ambassador, and he reveals that he has rejected several offers to ‘be nominated’ to run for the National Assembly. He said that he has no immediate plans to go into politics, as he is already being treated as a ‘5-term congressman’ while traveling around the country. When asked about his future plans, he answered, “Politics is a living thing”, causing an explosion of laughter.

The unbridled wit and incredible connections of global network king Jung Joon-ho can be seen on ‘Radio Star’, which will air on Wednesday the 19th at 10:30 PM.
