Snowboarder Kim Sang-gyeom Shines on 'Radio Star' with Hilarious Antics

Kim Sang-gyeom, the snowboarder who secured South Korea's first medal at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, is set to showcase his comedic flair on MBC's 'Radio Star.' Known for his impressive physique, Kim lifts Kim Gura in a 'princess carry' pose and performs squats, while also showing off his talent for downing a soda in one go, bringing laughter to the audience.

Airing today (25th), MBC's 'Radio Star' features a special episode titled 'Olympic Stories_Final Edition' with guests Choi Min-jung, Kim Gil-ri, Kim Sang-gyeom, and Yoo Seung-eun.

Kim Sang-gyeom made history by winning a silver medal at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, marking South Korea's 400th medal across both Winter and Summer Games. His relentless passion shines once again on 'Radio Star' as he channels his energy into comedy.

Expressing his desire to entertain, Kim admits he was worried about how to make people laugh. Confident in his squatting skills, he challenges himself to perform 10 squats while holding Kim Gura. With the ability to squat 250kg, Kim Gura willingly participates. Standing side by side, their similar builds create a mirror-like image, adding to the humor. Kim effortlessly completes 10 squats with Kim Gura in his arms, prompting Kim Gura to exclaim, "This is fun!" with a satisfied smile.

Concerned for Kim's back, Kim Gura watches as Kim prepares to chug a soda. Encouraging him, Kim Gura says, "Can you do it in one shot? Then you'll become a star!" MCs Yoo Se-yoon and Jang Do-yeon join in, suggesting he sing a song afterward. Kim impresses everyone by downing the soda in one go and then singing Turbo's 'At the Ski Resort,' filling the studio with laughter.

Catch the comedic debut of Kim Sang-gyeom, who pours his heart into entertaining, on 'Radio Star' airing tonight (25th) at 10:30 PM.
