Actor Jung Joon-ho reveals the story of shaking hands with U.S. President Donald Trump, showcasing his impressive 'global network' as a 'network king'.

The MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-sun / directed by Kim Myung-yeob and Hwang Yoon-sang) will air on the 19th at 10:30 PM, featuring a special episode titled 'No Entry for Managers' with guests Jung Joon-ho, Lee Hee-jin, Jung Hee-won, and Swings.

Jung Joon-ho, a representative of the entertainment industry's network kings, will unveil his globally expansive connections. He surprises everyone by stating that his wedding was attended by not only a prince and princess from Dubai but also the Minister of Defense of Mongolia and high-ranking officials from the U.S. State Department, revealing that he rented out all the spaces in a hotel to accommodate 4,000-5,000 guests.

Additionally, Jung Joon-ho shares the reason why he had his pre-wedding meeting with his wife, Lee Ha-jung, at a 'hospital', which left everyone exclaiming, 'Lee Ha-jung is amazing!' out of curiosity about the reason.

Recently, Jung Joon-ho played the role of the head of the National Intelligence Service in the movie 'Hitman 2'. He recounted a time during filming in Busan when the production team was flustered because they couldn't get a boat, but he surprised the director by arranging one in just 10 minutes through a friend. He also humorously explained that his lack of focus on acting was due to 'consideration for other actors'.

Moreover, Jung Joon-ho does not miss the opportunity to talk about his close friend in the entertainment industry, actor Shin Hyun-joon. He recently criticized Shin Hyun-joon's role as a chairman in the drama 'Iron Family', saying it 'didn't suit him'. He also candidly commented on the performance of Shin Hyun-joon's movie 'Ghost Police', saying, "Next time..." which elicited laughter.

As a network king, Jung Joon-ho claims that he can tell a person's character or health status just by shaking hands with them, which brought about laughter. He guessed the personalities and health conditions of the guests present, even analyzing the health status of Jung Hee-won, a geriatrician.

He also reveals his 'crown king' persona, holding about 100 titles as ambassadors for various local governments and organizations across the country. While he sometimes declines offers for overlapping ambassador roles, he is recognized for working hard without receiving as much money as others.

Due to his numerous ambassador roles, rumors about his entry into politics have surfaced repeatedly. He reveals that he has turned down several proposals for parliamentary nominations, stating that he already receives treatment equivalent to a 'five-term congressman' while having no immediate plans to enter politics. When asked about his future plans, he humorously replied, "Politics is a living thing."

The unrestrained talk and the identities of the incredible connections of global network king Jung Joon-ho can be confirmed on 'Radio Star', airing on Wednesday, the 19th, at 10:30 PM.
