Choiza from Dynamic Duo reveals the philosophy behind his 'Choiza Road' that has continued for 8 years and shares his expertise in identifying real hidden gems.

The MBC show 'Radio Star' airing on the 9th features a special segment titled 'Slurp! Foodie Road' with guests Heo Young-man, Choiza, Lee Guk-joo, and Park Eun-young.

Choiza continues his YouTube channel 'Choiza Road' into its 10th season, introducing various restaurants across the country. He smiles pleasantly when referred to as the 'Heo Young-man of the hip-hop world' by the MCs and shares his criteria for selecting restaurants and his philosophy on food shows.

Regarding the list of restaurants he has compiled while touring the country, he shares, "The real hidden gems are known by the locals," and provides his discerning tips. The MCs nod in agreement with his realistic standard that "you should actually be cautious of places that give a lot of service."

He also reveals his trusted combinations of diverse menu items. He mentions, "I've tried combinations like sundae with red wine, makgeolli with whiskey, and bokbunja with beer," sparking curiosity about his unique 'eating combinations.'

Choiza also expresses that he has received proposals worth hundreds of millions to feature restaurants, but states, "Eating cannot be bought with money," revealing his principles. His heartfelt confession, "I don't want to be a burden to the restaurants I truly love and cherish," resonates deeply with the MCs.

He shares a story about feeling anxious due to the appearance of singer Sung Si-kyung. "I was carefully trying to secure a buckwheat noodle restaurant, but he appeared on a food show first," he reveals, adding, "I felt like my sacred place was taken first." He humorously adds, "These days, whenever Sung Si-kyung appears, I feel a sense of tension in food shows."

'Radio Star' will air today (9th) at 10:30 PM.
