Comedian Nam Chang-hee is set to spill the shocking backstory behind his marriage, address viral "luxury wedding" rumors, and bare his heart on MBC’s Radio Star—his first variety appearance since tying the knot.
The March 18 episode of MBC’s variety show Radio Star features Boom, Moon Se-yoon, Nam Chang-hee, and Kim Seon-tae in a "Public Servants of Laughter" special. Last month, Nam married Yoon Young-kyung—nicknamed the "Han River IU"—who is nine years his junior, at The Shilla Seoul in Jangchung-dong. This broadcast marks his first TV outing after the wedding.
Looking back on the preparations, Nam recalls facing his father-in-law’s disapproval and reveals that his YouTube work played a key role in earning the family’s trust. He shares how that breakthrough flipped the mood and ultimately led the couple down the aisle.
He also directly tackles the buzz over a so-called "lavish wedding," clearing up misunderstandings with real behind-the-scenes details from the planning process. On his career, he gets candid: once dreaming of becoming a top MC, he now aims for steady, long-term longevity—staying the course rather than chasing quick highs.
In closing, Nam opens up about how marriage sparked a new dream of becoming a devoted "girl dad." The episode airs on the 18th at 10:30 p.m.
