History
Kiss the Radio began broadcasting in 2004 with singer-rapper Danny Ahn of first-generation boy band g.o.d as its first DJ.[1] As a radio show which mainly focuses on k-pop, the hosts have been singers from popular idol groups. From 2006 to October 2016, various members of Super Junior hosted the show, which became known as "Sukira", and were the longest-running hosts. Two weeks after Super Junior's last broadcast, on October 17, 2016 the hosting baton is finally passed to band F.T. Island frontman Lee Hong-gi, therefore making the program being called "Hongkira". Lee Hong-gi stepped down from host position in April 2018 to focus on music and TV broadcast activity. In November 2018, Young K of idol band Day6 hosted from November 2020 through October 12, 2021, during which the program was dubbed "Dekira." From November 1, 2021 to June 4, 2023, the host was Minhyuk of BtoB, with the program becoming known as "Bikira". On June 5, 2023, it was announced that Young K would return as the main host, beginning June 19.[2]
