TXT’s Soobin Set to Appear on Terrestrial Talk Show ‘Radio Star’ for the First Time

Soobin from Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is stepping into new territory with his upcoming appearance on MBC’s popular talk show, Radio Star. The episode will air on Wednesday, July 16 at 10:30 p.m. KST, marking Soobin’s first time on a major terrestrial variety program.

TXT is often known as “BTS’s little brothers,” but they’ve quickly built their own name through distinct music and performance styles. For this show, Soobin is ready to give viewers a fresh take on the group, especially when it comes to variety shows. He openly admits his group isn’t the strongest in this area but jokes about his own role:

“Our team isn’t that strong in variety shows, but I’m the closest we’ve got!” Soobin

During the episode, Soobin uses humor and some unconventional antics to win over the hosts and guests. One highlight is his playful “food look-alike” impersonation game. He dubs the MCs and other guests with witty food nicknames like “kimchi dumpling face” and “baby potato face,” which got plenty of laughs.

He also takes on a watermelon-eating challenge, explaining the effort behind it.

“I practiced by eating an entire watermelon over two days,” Soobin shares before attempting to finish a big slice in just three seconds.

Keeping things fun, Soobin tells the audience that he’s not great at voice impressions, so he chose something more offbeat.

“I’m not good at voice impressions, so I decided to go with something totally ridiculous,” he says, earning cheers for his honesty and effort.

Adding some spicy humor, Soobin cracks a joke about their label HYBE with a quirky phrase:

“HYBE’s XXX is like kimchi pizza tangsuyuk (kim-pi-tang),” he says, causing the studio to burst into laughter.

He quickly lightens the moment.

“The company told me to be careful about what I say,” Soobin jokes, keeping the atmosphere light and playful.

This unexpected comment has already sparked curiosity among fans wondering exactly what “kim-pi-tang” refers to.

Soobin’s upcoming spot on Radio Star looks like a great chance for him to show a more playful and relaxed side, proving he might just be the group’s hidden ace when it comes to variety show charm. Fans can catch his full appearance on July 16 at 10:30 p.m. KST on MBC.
