The new broadcast of MBC’s “Radio Star” to air on the evening of May 29th will feature the guest appearance of Song Seung-heon, Lee Si-eon, Oh Yeon-seo and Jang Gyu-ri.
Jang Gyu-ri, former fromis_9 member who has turned to acting, will prove her MZ tension. She drew attention from the beginning of the recording by delivering handmade gifts to the MCs and showcasing the personal talents she practiced during her idol activities.
Revealing that she was in charge of a “happy virus” in the “Player” team, Jang Gyu-ri drew laughter as she mentioned Song Seung-heon when asked if she had ever felt a generation gap with the seniors.
When the MZ actress Jang Gyu-ri called Song Seung-heon “uncle”, Oh Yeon-seo burst into laughter and said, “I think she’ll have to have a talk with him after this”. Kim Gu-ra commented, “Seems like you’re having fun teasing such a handsome man~”, raising expectations for Jang Gyu-ri’s witty talks.
Nicknamed “Tang Wei of Bundang” during her school days, Jang Gyu-ru revealed an anecdote about how she got a drama leading role thanks to a web entertainment program. In particular, Jang Gyu-ri’s acrostic poem with the word “apple” and her easy-going personality seem to have resulted in her casting for the role of a vice-caption of a university cheering squad. Later, Jang Gyu-ri impressed everyone with her overwhelming charisma when performing the cheerleading skills she learned in the drama.
In the meantime, it is known that Jang Gyu-ri always ranked high in the Military Billboard chart when she was active as a member of fromis_9. Lee Si-seon confirmed it, saying “I heard this story before. INFINITE’s L also acknowledged it”. Jang Gyu-ri then revealed that her father was a military colonel and surprised everyone by performing the salute she learned from her father.
Viewers can find the full story about Jang Gyu-ri’s soldier father on the new broadcast of “Radio Star”, which airs at 10:30 p.m. on May 29th.
