Radio Star Episode 962
“All Daddy Project” Special – Four Fathers Deliver Heart, Humor & Wholesome Chaos
Aired: April 22, 2026 | MBC Radio Star
In the latest episode of MBC’s iconic talk show Radio Star, the studio became a warm and hilarious “daddy zone.” The “All Daddy Project” special brought together four unique fathers who stepped away from daily family life to share candid, touching, and laugh-out-loud stories about fatherhood, marriage, and modern dad life.
The Four Dads
- Ryu Jin – Original handsome actor, now a talkative father of two tall teenage sons who look like BTS’s Jin and V.
- Ki Tae Young – Husband of Eugene (S.E.S.), the ultimate family man and former “Vector Man.”
- Lucky Abhishek Gupta – Indian sesame entrepreneur living in Korea for 31 years, proud new dad of a late-in-life baby.
- Song Ha Bin – Rising comedian and “Cat Daddy” whose three rescued cats made him a YouTube star.
Ryu Jin: Chatty AI Buddy & Lonely Talker Dad
Making his Radio Star debut, Ryu Jin confessed he feels lonelier as his sons (187cm and 182cm) have outgrown him. He revealed he’s become extremely talkative after marriage but gets told to be quiet at home by his wife.
He shared funny stories about using ChatGPT as his new best friend to price mini-cars, struggling with Google searches due to ITZY’s Ryujin, and restarting his YouTube channel by paying his sons to appear.
Ki Tae Young: The Ultimate Super Dad
Ki Tae Young proved why he’s considered the ideal husband and father. He prioritizes family above all — home by 6 p.m. for dinner, playing actively with his 7- and 10-year-old daughters, and even starting golf to spend more time with Eugene.
His extreme parenting includes turning the house into an “Emergency Preparedness Headquarters” with fire extinguishers in every room, oxygen masks, and self-defense tools. He also demonstrated his meticulous teeth-brushing technique live on the show!
Lucky Abhishek Gupta: Humble Immigrant Success Story
Lucky celebrated the natural birth of his daughter Rahi (meaning “traveler” and life companion) at an older age. He shared thoughtful stories about naming his child, challenges foreigners face with Korean systems, and light-hearted banter with Sam Hammington.
He also addressed building ownership rumors in India and impressed everyone with his Korean fluency and rap impressions.
Song Ha Bin: The Healing Cat Daddy
Comedian Song Ha Bin debuted with his big sparkling eyes and adorable cat content. He introduced his three rescued cats — Chunbong, Cheomji (famous for her “lucky butt”), and Chilbok — via video call with his wife.
Ha Bin also shared his wholesome side: former swimming instructor (who taught Kim Gu Ra’s mom!), self-made Incheon ambassador, and how his cats funded his mom’s trip to Singapore.
Episode Highlights
- Ryu Jin’s endless entertaining but “substance-light” storytelling (compared to ChatGPT)
- Ki Tae Young’s inspiring (and slightly terrifying) super-dad routines
- Lucky’s warm wisdom and hilarious impressions
- Song Ha Bin’s cat butt luck ritual that even celebrities tried
- Heartwarming father-son memories from Dad! Where Are You Going?
The episode beautifully balanced laughter and emotion, showing that being a dad in modern Korea comes in many wonderful forms — from serious actors using Gen Z slang to ultra-prepared safety dads and cat-loving comedians.
