On the April 23 episode of MBC’s Radio Star, singer K Will made a big fashion statement — but instead of compliments, he got teased by everyone on the show!

The episode, titled “Typical Uncle Style These Days”, featured Go Joon, K Will, Kim Poong, and Kang Nam as guests. From the beginning, the hosts brought up K Will’s love for fashion.

Guest MC Lee Yong Jin said, “I saw K Will at a dinner recently, and he was wearing a fancy Chrome XX hat. I was shocked!”

K Will laughed and replied, “Yeah, I really like fashion. Today, I’m wearing all my own clothes for the first time on this show.”

Kim Poong pointed out K Will’s coat and said, “Isn’t that Burber X?” to which K Will proudly answered, “It’s all vintage!”
Lee Yong Jin also noticed his necklace, calling it “very expensive and rare.”

K Will explained, “I bought it at a good price before, but now it’s worth much more.”
Kang Nam joked, “Did you get it in Harajuku for 2,000 yen?” — about 20,000 KRW — and K Will gave him a death stare. Lee Yong Jin revealed the necklace is a high-end Japanese item now worth 2 to 3 million KRW.

But Kim Poong teased again, saying, “Looks like something you’d find at Dongmyo Market.”
K Will quickly defended it, saying, “It’s Indian jewelry!”

The fun continued when K Will brought out his Chanel crossbody bag — the same one G-Dragon has worn.
But instead of admiring it, the cast couldn’t stop teasing.
Jang Do Yeon joked, “You look like a stylish auntie,” and Kim Poong added, “You look like you’re waiting for your girlfriend outside the bathroom.”

K Will laughed and shared, “I took this bag to a baseball game once and ran into someone I knew. They asked, ‘Are you here with your girlfriend?’”
He added, “I got the same one GD used. People even asked if I was him when I wore it!”

He then explained his pants were inspired by Kendrick Lamar’s bootcut style — but Kim Poong hit him with another joke:
“Your shoes look like Charlie Chaplin’s!”
K Will finally gave up, laughing, “Go ahead and make fun of me all you want,” and bowed in mock defeat.

Even in full designer gear, it seems K Will can’t escape the jokes — but fans loved seeing his fun, playful side on full display!
