• ‘Radio Star’ PD Defends Goo Hye Sun After Hat Controversy Goes Viral—What You Didn’t See on TV!

    Kim Myung Yeop, the producer of MBC’s popular variety show Radio Star, has addressed the buzz surrounding actress Goo Hye Sun wearing a hat during a recent broadcast. He firmly stated, "There was absolutely no issue at the scene."

    On January 22, Kim PD attended a press conference celebrating the 900th episode of Radio Star at the MBC headquarters in Sangam-dong, Seoul. The event also featured cast members Kim Gook Jin, Kim Gura, Yoo Se Yoon, and Jang Do Yeon.

    During the press event, Kim PD spoke about the controversy sparked by Goo Hye Sun’s appearance on the 897th episode, which aired on January 15.

    He explained, “People are talking about an attitude problem, but there was nothing wrong at all. If there had been an issue, we would have edited it out.”

    Kim PD elaborated, “As a producer, it’s my job to make sure guests look fine on screen. If someone wears a hat, I ask if they’re comfortable with it. It’s no different from when singer Park Joon Hyung wears sunglasses, where we only check for things like light reflections.”

    He also emphasized Goo Hye Sun’s professionalism, saying, “She arrived early, did her script reading without any issues, and had a great attitude during filming. It’s really disappointing to hear people are making this a controversy.”

    The fuss began when Goo Hye Sun appeared wearing a hat and explained during the show, “The boiler in my house broke, so I couldn’t wash my hair. The PD asked if I could take off the hat, but I couldn’t due to the situation.”

    Despite her explanation, netizens criticized her through comments on the video uploaded to MBC’s YouTube channel.

    Some wrote, “If you weren’t ready at home, you should’ve gone to a salon,” while others called it “disrespectful to the recording environment.”

    Meanwhile, Radio Star is gearing up for its 900th episode, set to air on November 5. Since its debut in May 2007, the show has become one of MBC’s most iconic variety programs, entertaining viewers for 16 years and counting.
