Rapper Nucksal dishes on retirement plans with his signature wit.<\/p>\n

The upcoming episode of MBC’s “Radio Star,” set to air on the 11th, features a star-studded lineup including Lee Dong-jin, Ahn Hyun-mo, Gweido, and Nucksal in a special segment titled “Too Much TALK GPT.”<\/p>\n

During the show, Nucksal candidly admits he hasn’t been able to focus on album production for years, with parenting taking center stage over his music career. The rapper humorously expresses his ongoing disbelief about being married, exclaiming, “Did I really tie the knot?” He also opens up about his long-standing retirement dreams, sparking a relatable discussion about the financial realities of hanging up the mic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Channeling “The Greatest Showman,” Nucksal reveals his ambitious plans to become a YouTube impresario, assembling a team to create his own spectacle. His creative evolution from rapper to entertainer to aspiring showman has the studio in stitches.<\/p>\n

The conversation takes a turn to the nitty-gritty of parenting, with Nucksal spilling the tea on his drastically altered lifestyle. Now a father of two boys – a 3-year-old and a 4-month-old – he jokes about the zombie-like existence he and his wife lead due to sleep deprivation. Nucksal’s “proud papa” moment shines as he compares his sons’ polar opposite personalities. The cherry on top? A hilarious anecdote about mistaking his second child’s gender before birth, leaving the audience in fits of laughter.<\/p>\n

In a surprising twist, Nucksal dishes on his unexpected connection with actor Park Jung-min. He reveals that Park used him as inspiration while prepping for a rap-heavy film role, sharing some behind-the-scenes stories of their encounters. Nucksal then treats the audience to an impromptu rap performance, proving he’s still got serious skills.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since his 2009 debut, Nucksal has been making waves in the Korean hip-hop scene. His 2016 studio album “The God of Small Things” catapulted him to fame, followed by a runner-up finish in Mnet’s “Show Me the Money Season 6” in 2017. In 2022, Nucksal tied the knot with a non-celebrity six years his junior, and they’re now proud parents to two boys.<\/p>\n
