Once a superstar with a music award on his belt, rocker Choi Gon now sings in a rundown cafe. His manager for more than 20 years, Min-soo makes a deal with the radio station producer to have Gon DJ at a remote radio station in the suburbs. Reluctant to work at first, Gon soon finds out that the little things matter the most, and his attitude towards his pal and manager Min-soo gradually changes.
Like King and the Clown, Lee Joon-ik wanted his next film to also be about the lives of outsiders, saying, “I think the tragedy of capitalist society is that so many people endlessly struggle to become part of the mainstream. I want to keep showing that those outside the mainstream of society can also be happy.“
Park Joong-hoon and Ahn Sung-ki had starred together in three previous films, namely, Chil-su And Man-su(1988), Two Cops(1993), Nowhere To Hide(1999). Ahn said, “If we did not sustain our 20-year friendship, we could not have done justice to the touching scenes in Radio Star.”
