In a special episode of MBC's entertainment show Radio Star (라디오스타) aired on December 25, 2024, Chungju Man, a public servant from Chungju, made a notable appearance. He shared that he did not receive any awards in Chungju but was honored with the 'Hot Icon of the Year' award in the male category at this year's Brand Awards, while Lee Hyori (이효리) took home the female award. Chungju Man also introduced his new product, 'Chungju Man Bread,' created under a convenience store brand. He emphasized that the bread was made using Chungju apples to promote local consumption and mentioned that they donated 20 million won to charity.

Chungju Man revealed that he receives invitations for collaborations via email, the National Petition System, and personal contacts, including requests for lectures and YouTube collaborations. He expressed that he feels he has been appearing too frequently on shows, leading him to limit his participation. However, he noted that next year could be a pivotal moment for him, which surprised fellow guests like Yoo Se-yoon (유세윤).
