Just like the title said, Soobin appeared on Radio Star today for the first time in 6 years and got a lot of attention for his variety show skills.
For people who are unfamiliar with Radio Star, it is a talk show with 4 hosts, who tend to be very direct and sometimes messy towards their guests. They usually ask out of pocket questions or bring up sensitive topics.
Soobin came with a rookie mindset to this show, who wanted to showcase his variety skills and even said to the hosts: “I like mischievous teasing so i hope you drive me crazy!! i hope you make me want to cry” 😭
Later on, there was a talk about how he became the leader of the group. This is what Soobin said:
– I get along with people easily and they said that they thought i’d be a good bridge between the members and the company
– The members are all very pure so they can’t openly express things so they said that i should be the representative person that does that
– I don’t hesitate even while speaking to the company so they say that i’m the lee hongki of hybe (Lee Hongki of Ft. Island was another guest of the show)
– Even before this filming, the managers told me to watch what i say, they said that they can’t come in with him so i need to choose my words wisely
Therefore Hongki said, that he should be careful with what he says regarding contracts, to which Soobin answered: “It doesn’t matter, we’re currently in our contract renewal period so we hold the upper hand” 😂 the hosts were dying of laughter after this response.
And the highlight of this episode, was him showing off his self acquired “Personal Skill” for the first time ever: Watermelon Eating Skill. He said, that whenever Idols come on the show, they usually have a talent in impersonating others, but he is not as confident in that skill, so he thought of something else.
He said that he can eat a Watermelon Slice in under 3 sec, which sounds insane at first, but the video is kinda impressive. Even his members were confused and asked him why he would do all that in his 7th year as an idol 😭
Besides the stuff I mentioned above, he also talked about his members, touring, Resident Playbook (he and Yeonjun had a cameo on the show), Kpop Demon Hunters (how the Saja Boys were inspired by TXT and Yeonjun) and the upcoming comeback on July 21st!!
Soobin was praised by the hosts for his variety show skills, “unique talent” and his witty responses and he is even going super viral right now in Korea!!
