Boom Claims Same 'Vibe' as Park Jin-young on 'Radio Star,' Performs Live Audition

Entertainer Boom is set to appear on MBC's 'Radio Star,' confidently stating that he shares the same 'jjoh' (a unique vibe or energy) as singer Park Jin-young. Selected by Park Jin-young himself, Boom engages in a playful back-and-forth with the JYP founder, only to be hilariously shut down, leading him to an impromptu audition to win Park Jin-young's approval.

This Wednesday, May 5th, 'Radio Star' will feature a 'JYPick 읏 짜!' special with Park Jin-young, Ahn So-hee, Boom, and Kwon Jin-ah. Boom introduces himself as someone born with 'jjoh,' adding 'fighting spirit' to it, but Park Jin-young once again draws a line, highlighting the distinct differences in their 'jjoh,' much to everyone's amusement.

Boom reminisces about his high school days at Anyang Arts High School, dreaming of becoming a singer alongside Rain and Seven. He confesses his admiration for JYP during that time, admitting that 'debut was everything back then.'

Park Jin-young praises Boom's stage performance, a blend of sincere expression and broadcasting talent, saying, 'I can feel the sincerity,' drawing both laughter and admiration. The entertainer, with 20 years of experience, also shares his philosophy: 'Broadcasting is ultimately about sincerity. I have a 'gratitude button' inside me.' He reveals that pressing this button during tough times helps him appreciate being able to broadcast now, emphasizing his mindset of treating every show as his first.

'That button is the source of my energy,' Boom explains, sharing the reason behind his consistently bright demeanor. Park Jin-young smiles, remarking, 'That's why Boom lasts so long,' acknowledging the entertainer's enduring appeal.

You can catch Boom's delightful 'jjoh' talk, his impromptu audition performance for Park Jin-young, and his story about the 'gratitude button' on 'Radio Star' airing tonight at 10:30 PM KST.

Korean netizens are buzzing about Boom's appearance, with comments like, 'Boom is so funny, his chemistry with Park Jin-young is amazing!', '20 years in the industry and he has a gratitude button? That's impressive,' and 'I'm curious about Boom's performance! An audition in front of JYP? This is going to be legendary.' The anticipation for the episode is high.
