The MBC ‘Radio Star’ broadcast on the 4th will be decorated with a special feature called ‘The Nation of Battle’ with Oh Sang-wook, Gu Bon-gil, Kim Ye-ji, Kim Woo-jin, Im Si-hyeon, and Im Ae-ji.

Kim Woo-jin swept the gold medals in the individual, team, and mixed archery events at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He said, “Just like Kim Yu-na is remembered for figure skating and Son Heung-min is remembered for soccer, I wanted to become an athlete who is remembered for archery, and I think I’m a little closer to my goal,” expressing his feelings about winning the title of the archery star with the most gold medals for South Korea. Kim Woo-jin also mentioned Koo Bon-gil, saying that there is an athlete he feels sorry for here, and made people even more curious about his story.

Kim Woo-jin is always called the ‘Archery Buddha’ because he maintains his composure. He mentioned the incident where he was caught smiling with a poker face before the gold medal ceremony for the individual archery event at the Olympics. He explained the reason behind his smiling with a poker face, saying, “I’ve participated in the Olympics three times, but I’ve never won an individual medal, so I happily accepted the medal with a sense of accomplishment of winning an individual medal.” The MCs who saw Kim Woo-jin’s smiling with a poker face all hoped for the release of an emoticon.

Kim Woo-jin then revealed his recent situation where he is treated like a great person in his hometown. He surprised everyone by saying, “During the two Olympics before the Paris Olympics, there were about 30 placards, but this time, there were placards starting from the tollgate. It felt like there were about 150.”

Also, Im Si-hyeon, who won three gold medals in women’s archery at the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’, expressed her gratitude, saying that the famous words that Jang Do-yeon said on ‘I Live Alone’ helped her a lot when she lacked confidence. Jang Do-yeon was at a loss at Im Si-hyeon’s story, so anticipation is rising as to what exactly he said. He also revealed for the first time his own pose that boosts his confidence before a match, and piqued curiosity when he said that he also took this pose with Kim Woo-jin in the mixed team event.

Im Si-hyun, who is participating in the Olympics for the first time in the ‘2024 Paris Olympics’, revealed an anecdote in which he was impressed by how he looked like he kept a poker face, unlike how nervous he actually was, while also revealing an anecdote related to his sunscreen-covered visual. When Im Si-hyun also mentioned the incident where a wasp landed on his finger before shooting an arrow, Kim Woo-jin showed off his wit and made everyone laugh by saying, “It’s a rare sight in Korea, so I think the bee was trying to keep the Korean athletes in check, since it’s Paris.”

Also, Im Si-hyeon mentioned his first impression of Kim Woo-jin, saying, “When Woo-jin oppa exercises, he’s quiet and I was scared to talk to him, but once we got to know him, he made old man jokes.” The episode where Im Si-hyeon was fooled by Kim Woo-jin’s lie that seemed so real drew laughter.

Kim Woo-jin and Im Si-hyeon then said that the secret to the women’s archery team’s 10 consecutive wins lies in the Archery Association, and that they “really respect them.” It is said that the Archery Association’s enormous support scale aroused everyone’s admiration.

‘Radio Star’ will air at 10:30 PM today.
