This review article was written after watching the broadcast.
[OSEN=Reporter Park Geun-hee] On 'Radio Star,' singer Roy Kim drew laughter by revealing an absurd anecdote related to the unusual teasing meme that follows him after completing his military service in the Marines.
The MBC program 'Radio Star,' which aired on the 20th, was presented as a special 'Radio Star Spring Festival' episode featuring Kim Chang-wan, Jukjae, Roy Kim, and Hanroro.
Roy Kim, who served in the Marines, confessed that whenever he goes on stage, the audience shouts, "What class are you?!" Roy Kim explained the background behind the stage catchphrase, saying, "It has been more than five years since I was discharged from the Marines. At my comeback performance, there was a Marine there. I shouted 'What class are you?!' there. That became such a huge topic. It spread like a meme."
Roy Kim went on to say, "I just wonder if teasing Roy Kim is fun. Once, a woman at my concert yelled, 'What class are you?!'" and recalled the moment he was suddenly singled out by a female audience member, making those around him burst into laughter.

At the time, Roy Kim said he continued explaining seriously, thinking the remark might inadvertently cause harm to the Marines. However, the audience member's response to Roy Kim's serious feedback went in an unexpected direction. Roy Kim said the person replied, "I can't speak Korean," relaying the situation and making everyone in the studio burst into laughter.
It turned out that the person who left Roy Kim flustered was a foreign audience member. Roy Kim added the surprising twist, saying, "She was from Poland," once again turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
