In a preview released before the broadcast, J.Y. Park discussed the origins of his striking Waterbomb stage costume. He revealed that after receiving the performance invitation, he consulted with his staff and colleagues before deciding to participate.

The artist humorously recalled asking his fans on social media, 'What should I wear?', and that a staggering 99% recommended vinyl pants. He noted that Sunmi's comment recommending the vinyl pants also garnered attention at the time.

J.Y. Park explained that he wanted something unique, so he chose a vibrant hot pink color and a halterneck design to allow for freedom of movement while dancing. When Boom commented on the allure of wet vinyl pants, J.Y. Park chuckled, stating he focused on ventilation, but ended up with condensation on his glasses. He also shared that he lost 5kg in two weeks for the performance, describing the experience as 'thrilling' and making him feel 'alive,' showcasing his enduring passion for performing.

Furthermore, J.Y. Park brought the actual outfit to the studio, unveiling the hot pink vinyl costume that caused a stir among the cast.

He also recounted a tense moment during the performance. As his wet vinyl pants began to cling to his body, they famously ripped during a key choreography move for his song 'When We Disco.' J.Y. Park added, 'What mattered was whether it was the outer layer or the inner lining that tore,' explaining how he instantly adapted by observing the audience's reaction to continue the performance, earning admiration from everyone.

Details about the creation of J.Y. Park's 'hot pink halterneck vinyl outfit' and the near-disastrous moment on stage can be seen on tonight's (5th) 'Radio Star' broadcast at 10:30 PM KST.
