The episode, scheduled to air on the 24th, will feature a 'Destiny of Many Works~' special with guests Kim Mi-kyung, Jang So-yeon, Lee El, and Im Soo-hyang.

Marking her second appearance on '라스' (Ras), Im revealed her intention to 'clear things up,' humorously recounting an experience where a past broadcast led to her receiving unexpected internet memes. She playfully requested the nickname 'Young Soo-hyang' in an effort to put an end to the 'aging controversy,' drawing much laughter from the studio.

Furthermore, she will delve into the behind-the-scenes story of the 'Im Soo-hyang heavy drinker theory' that singer Kang Min-kyung mentioned on broadcast. She shared a bittersweet anecdote about being unable to refuse invitations to gatherings due to her reputation for being a heavy drinker, which had the studio in stitches.

Im also revealed the most nerve-wracking moment in her acting life. She recalled the intense pressure of having to master a North Korean dialect in just one week after being urgently cast mid-drama. She confessed, 'It was the most nerve-wracking moment of my life,' vividly conveying the pressure and tension she felt while portraying a North Korean defector.

The story behind her casting as the lead in Im Sung-han's drama 'New Tales of Gisaeng' will also be shared, where she was selected from a competition of 2000:1 at the young age of twenty-one. She will reveal her unique 'character concept' strategy during the audition that impressed everyone, showcasing her professionalism as an actress by also sharing her 'wall-pushing' acting tip.

In addition to her candid confessions, Im Soo-hyang prepared a surprising performance. She will heat up the atmosphere by perfectly executing the songs 'Soda Pop' and 'It's Already 12 O'Clock,' which she practiced for four days specifically for her 'Radio Star' appearance. Im Soo-hyang's contrasting charm, combining sincere confessions and hidden dance skills, will be broadcast on Wednesday, the 24th, at 10:30 PM.
