Baek Ji-yeon Makes Long-Awaited Appearance on Radio Star After 18 Years

Baek Ji-yeon finally graced the set of MBC's Radio Star (라디오스타) on May 21, 2025, after receiving invitations for 18 years. The episode featured a special theme titled 'Ultimate Champion,' with guests including former MBC announcer Baek Ji-yeon, comedian Hong Hyun-hee, singer Choi Jung-hoon, and musical actress Min Kyung-ah.
Baek shared that her decision to appear came after hearing her son, who is currently in the U.S. with his wife, mention that he watches Radio Star. She reflected, "I thought I should go on the show, considering how much he must miss Korea while living abroad."
During the episode, Baek expressed her delight at seeing Yoo Se-yoon, whom she had previously met on the show 'Muripak Dosan' (무릎팍도사), noting that he hadn't changed at all. She humorously remarked, "He only looked at my neck back then," to which Yoo responded, "You had no wrinkles on your neck."
Baek revealed that Yoo had been fascinated by her neck during their earlier encounter, saying, "Even if you have a diamond, you might not realize its value. After hearing that, I paid more attention to moisturizing my neck." She also shared a tip from her mother, who advised her to keep her head up to avoid developing a double chin since childhood.
