Airing on the 25th, MBC's 'Radio Star' features a special episode titled 'Olympic Stories_Final Edition' with guests Choi Min-jeong, Kim Gil-li, Kim Sang-gyeom, and Yoo Seung-eun.
Kim Gil-li, who topped the overall standings from the 1st to the 6th rounds in the ISU 2023-24 World Tour Series, received the prestigious Crystal Globe awarded to the season's best athlete. She captivates the studio by showcasing the trophy along with a special golden helmet engraved with her name.
She also shares the origin story of her nickname 'Lamborghini'. The nickname, a play on words given by her rehabilitation trainer due to her incredible speed, spread through social media and became widely recognized. She humorously recounts how this nickname led to receiving supercar escorts at the airport after the Olympics.
Kim Gil-li draws attention with her bold statement, "I'm the best," and elicits laughter with candid revelations about her close senior, Choi Min-jeong. She amusingly claims, "Min-jeong unnie can't do anything except skate," turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
She reminisces about the moment she won the gold medal as a member of the women's relay team at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Kim Gil-li vividly describes the tense moment when she felt the gold was secured as soon as Choi Min-jeong touched her.
'Radio Star' airs at 10:30 PM.
