Kim Jong-min of the group Koyote reminisced about the late actor Kim Joo-hyuk.

On the broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star' on the 5th, Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, Park Na-rae, and Code Kunst appeared as guests.

On this day, Kim Jong-min talked about '1 Night 2 Days', which he has been a part of for 18 years, saying, "I started as the youngest, and now I am the oldest. During the recent gathering, I was surprised to find that I was the oldest among all the cast and staff."

As a founding member of '1 Night 2 Days', Kim Jong-min also compared different seasons. He recalled, "The first season felt like a trip since it was the first. The second season was all about drinking. It was harder than the filming. We started drinking the night before filming. There were times when I collapsed from drinking too much the next day."

He continued, "The big brother in the third season was the late Kim Joo-hyuk. He was like warm sunshine. He said, 'Just relax. I'm not your brother. I hope we can act like close friends.' He was a very warm person."

He added, "In the fourth season, I became the big brother. I felt pressured to do something. At first, I wanted to take charge, but seeing the younger ones do their thing made me frustrated. I felt like they weren't listening to me as the older brother. At that time, I realized I wasn't meant to be the big brother and entrusted things to the younger ones. Once I let go, they treated me like an older brother."

Meanwhile, 'Radio Star' airs every Wednesday at 10:30 PM.
