Announcer Son Beom-soo, who appeared on ‘Radio Star’, showed off his unexpected friendship with singer IU. In addition, Han Sang-bo, New Jinsnim (real name Yoon Sung-ho), and Mimi Minu showed off their hidden skills and made everyone laugh.

In the special episode of ‘Too Much is Coming’ that aired on MBC ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) on the 13th, original announcer Son Beom-soo made everyone laugh with an episode about not knowing ‘Kil-kki-pappa’ and an episode about proper pronunciation and keeping to the words.

Son Beom-soo said that when he‘s with his friends, he asks questions to divide up the conversation without realizing it. He also revealed an episode related to his junior announcers. Son Beom-soo is from KBS, but he said that after hearing Kim Seong-ju, who is from MBC, use the incorrect word “I hope so” during the Olympics broadcast, he immediately contacted him and received a text message saying that he would correct it within 5 minutes.

Then, when asked “Who does Son Beom-soo think is his successor?”, Son Beom-soo surprised everyone by answering, “I choose a young friend who tries to use words properly and nicely. IU”. The MCs responded with, “Didn’t you just say someone popular? Didn‘t you ask because she was a junior announcer?”, and their complaints exploded, causing laughter.

As the original announcer, Son Beom-soo has been in charge of various programs, so ‘Latte Talk’ continued one after another, causing bursts of laughter. In the past, he took charge of animal programs and dubbed them in his own way, and once again showed off his skills with ‘Quiz Exploration Mysterious Las’, where MC Kim Gook-jin appeared as a ‘Chihuahua’ and MC Yoo Se-yoon appeared as a ‘Baboon’.

Han Sang-bo, a hair loss treatment doctor for 22 years, captivated viewers with his refreshing and refreshing personality, which is the opposite of his neat appearance. He mentioned business leaders and politicians as patients he had transplanted hair to, and made everyone laugh by saying, “There is no ruling or opposition party here”. He also told the story of a company chairman who came to get a hair transplant and, in order to change the solemn atmosphere, danced and said, ‘Nice to meet you. I have hair loss’, surprising his secretaries. The chairman surprisingly laughed heartily and even suggested that they take a selfie together.

He also revealed why he is called the ‘ind doctor’. He made everyone laugh by saying that since he is a hair loss doctor, when a patient is hungry, he brings ‘Cup Ramen’ in case of an emergency. He explained that he looks for fun things that can be called ‘inding’ to liven up his life because he goes through the same process almost every day. As he showed off his fantastic body movements while doing various challenges on SNS, his close bond with his employees was also revealed.

Regarding the fact that he is called the ‘Unicorn of Misaeng’, he said that there aren’t many people who quit the company. Han Sang-bo said that he does his best for employee welfare, placing ‘Sangbo Cards’ everywhere and not having company dinners, which drew admiration. He also surprised everyone by saying that if they get a divorce, they can give severance pay and use the company computer to buy personal items as much as they want.

New Jins, who solidified his character from Iljin Monk to New Jins through ‘Radio Star’ and hit it big, made everyone laugh by appearing boring and overly immersed in his character. In fact, there was a recommendation from the head of the Jogye Order to become a monk. Monk New Jins made everyone laugh by trying to stay in character as much as possible while mentioning the life of a monk where marriage, smoking, and drinking are not allowed. As the MZ monk who is most frequently invited to events, he was very funny when it came to singing, but when the laughter stopped, he eventually called out his real self, Yoon Seong-ho, and made one last laugh.

Lastly, YouTuber Mimi Minu, who has 1.66 million subscribers and 10 Daehanjeong Too Much, properly certified a meal that was literally ‘Too Much’. As an MZ education creator, he gave some last tips to those preparing for the CSAT and said, “I hope you feel supernatural energy” and danced a dance that made people applaud.

In particular, he successfully advanced to his first ‘Radio Star’ with his fantastic tiki-taka banter with Son Beom-soo, drawing big laughter and drawing attention. He showed off his extraordinary school spirit after entering Korea University after five attempts. Son Beom-soo, who also happened to be a graduate of Yonsei University, counterattacked by saying, “I don‘t particularly care about the Yonsei-Korea match and the Go-Yonsei match,” and the two’s pride battle for the honor of their schools became more interesting.
