Radio Star Episode 964 Recap & Review:
“Crazy to See You” Special

Four wildly different personalities collided on the iconic talk show this week. From an ambitious idol to a legendary vocalist, a clumsy actor, and a quirky singer-songwriter — this episode was pure chaos and heart.

Guests

🎭 Choi Daniel (Actor)

Choi Daniel brought his signature awkward charm. He opened up about his lack of celebrity friends (only Chun Ho and Nam Bong 😂), his experience on Six Singles Under One Roof, and his legendary failed romantic surprise that ended with flying flower petals and a slapped bouquet. His "Humor 1st Place" dad jokes and two-second eye-contact flirting technique had the studio in stitches.

🎤 Nam Gyu Ri (SeeYa)

The emotional core of the episode. After 15 years, SeeYa is back! Gyu Ri shared touching stories about their reunion, cried during rehearsals, and performed a beautiful snippet of their new song. She also delivered an unforgettable original track: “Oh, Pork Belly” — a country-style love letter to samgyeopsal that stole the show.

            Iconic Moment: Bungee jumping in a dress, eating live larvae in the jungle, and her raw, crying vocal style that defined 2000s ballads.
        

🎸 An Jiyeong (BOL4)

The queen of unique vocals and misheard lyrics. She broke down why people hear “Summer party” instead of “I’m a pilot,” showed off her long tongue, and delivered a killer cover of Hearts2Hearts’ “RUDE!”. Her seasonal hit songs continue to fill her bank account every few months.

🕺 BEOMGYU (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)

The breakout star of the night. This guy has unstoppable energy. From 15 different cute gestures to an impromptu EDM remix of YEONJUN’s “GGUM” and Hwasa’s “Good Goodbye,” he completely owned the stage. He also beat Kim Gu Ra in thigh wrestling despite being half his weight.

            Legendary: Prince concept trauma → unleashed variety demon. Future variety king confirmed.

Review

Rating: 9.2 / 10

This was one of the most entertaining Radio Star episodes in recent memory. The chemistry between the four guests was fantastic — completely different energies that somehow complemented each other perfectly. BEOMGYU brought the chaos and youth, Nam Gyu Ri brought the emotion and nostalgia, An Jiyeong brought the musical brilliance, and Choi Daniel provided the perfect straight-man/clown balance.

The episode had everything: laughs, tears, legendary covers, original songs, and variety show gold. Nam Gyu Ri’s “Oh, Pork Belly” might go down as one of the most memorable original Radio Star songs ever.
