[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Actor Im Ki-hong made a strong impression with his unique wit on 'Radio Star.'

On the 10th, the MBC variety show 'Radio Star' featured actors Lee Jong-hyuk, Jeon Soo-kyung, Hong Ji-min, and Im Ki-hong as guests.

Im Ki-hong gained attention for his solid acting skills playing the gangster Dae-yeol in the Netflix drama 'Human Class.'

Although it was his first time appearing on a variety show and he appeared visibly nervous, Im Ki-hong entertained the audience with various personal talents and candid wit.

When asked if anything had changed since starring in 'Human Class,' he said, "I thought I would become popular," adding, "But since I wear a mask, no one recognizes me. When I go to restaurants, I sit by the wall just in case someone might recognize me. Still, no one does," which drew laughter.

Im Ki-hong also shared his experience acting alongside actor Choi Min-soo during the filming of 'Human Class.' He said, "There was an action scene with senior actor Choi Min-soo. We fought on the water, but it was really filthy water," adding, "There were about 3,000 bugs, and moss went into my mouth. After filming, I went straight to the hospital to get a tetanus shot," surprising those around him.

He also confessed that he underwent full-body tattoo makeup for over 12 hours for his character. When asked if he would consider getting a tattoo, he said, "I have thought about it, but I was afraid someone might pick a fight after seeing it," showing a charm different from his role in 'Human Class.'

Im Ki-hong even prepared props and costumes himself to showcase his personal talents. He revealed that he is usually flexible and confessed that he lost 3kg to appear on 'Radio Star.' His talent of passing through a clothes hanger amazed the audience.
