Writer Lim Seong-han (Phoebe) has publicly shared her voice for the first time in 36 years. He conveyed in full detail the malicious comments he has long endured, his cool responses to them, rumors surrounding his pen name, and his deep concern for his health.
On the 17th, a live broadcast titled "Eun-heang Eom's 1 Million Subscribers Commemorative First Live | Special Guest Lim Seong-han" was held on the YouTube channel 'Eun-heang Eom', hosted by comedy YouTuber Eun-heang Eom.
Eun-hyang Eom began by recounting the process of receiving a call from Seong-han Lim expressing his desire for her to appear as a guest on YouTube. She said, "I was hanging out laundry as usual when a friend called me while I was away. I thought it was a wrong number and sent a KakaoTalk message, but they said it wasn't, so I returned the call to check on them."
Then "(a friend) 'writer Lim Seong-han was curious about his sister's number', so I said, 'Please tell her quickly'. Writer Lim Seong-han did not contact directly, but someone like his secretary reached out and asked, 'You are Eum Eun-hyang, right'. It felt like a drama. They said they made contact and set a date".
He said, "I will make one announcement. I will interview writer Lim Seong-han. This is not a lie; it is the truth." He explained that "the writer was very eager to meet with me. At the time, I intended to record the interview. The writer does not seek media exposure at all, so if negative comments were posted, wouldn't that be upsetting? However, the writer firmly refused any meeting."
When 9 p.m. arrived, signaling the appearance of Lim Seong-han, Eom Eun-hyang emphasized, "I never said that writer Lim Seong-han would appear on screen. He is not absent; he is being connected via phone." Eom Eun-hyang then stated, "Everyone is curious about star Lim Seong-han," and proceeded to show Lim Seong-han being called on the phone.

The person presumed to be Lim Se-han received a call and said, "Hello?" and Eom Eun-hyang replied, "Your voice sounds gorgeous," to which the person presumed to be Lim Se-han laughed, saying, "I haven't spoken much today."
Eun-hyang Eom stated that she would ask a quiz to confirm that the person on the phone was not impersonating Lim Seong-han. "Do you remember the scene where the protagonist Eun-joo washes cabbage in 'Report Again and Again'?" she asked. "You were told by your mother-in-law to scrub with a toothbrush. What color was the toothbrush?" The individual suspected to be Lim Seong-han replied, "I don't remember. I leave the work once it ends." Eun-hyang then posed a second question: "In 'Shin Gi Saeng Jeon', the Asura Count gazes with his eyes. What color was the laser-like gaze?" The suspected Lim Seong-han answered, "Green, greenish." He added, "Didn't many articles come out about it?"
Eun-hyang Eom of "(TV Chosun drama) 'Marriage, Divorce, and Composition' (hereinafter 'Marriage, Divorce, and Composition') asked, "What kind of porridge did (Dong-mi) feed the director and kill him with? What is the unspecified porridge?" When she asked if it was among chicken porridge, egg porridge, bean porridge, or white porridge ", the person presumed to be Im Se-han replied, ""Wasn't it egg porridge and white porridge? White porridge is ordinary porridge, so I wouldn't have used it." " Upon hearing this, Eun-hyang Eom stated, ""The person who received the call does not appear to be an imposter." "
Lim Sung-bank of Korea stated that the reason he decided to appear on the channel of Eun-hyang Eom was that many people around him said, "It's not Eun-hyang Eom's channel (a parody of Lim Sung-han's writer drama)." He added that he noticed the difficulties she faced alone, so he called her after learning about them.

Eun-heum Eom asked Seong-han Lim, "Do you have your own philosophy on health?", and Seong-han Lim said, "There was something prominent next to the Bank of Korea. I thought it might be osteosarcoma, so I went to a hospital, and the dermatologist said 'There is something there' and intended to perform a biopsy. I thought that something growing meant it had a hot nature, so before the test, I received an injection, and the thing that had been growing since two days ago began to shrink. No biopsy was performed. He said, "If your eating habits are poor, it will come back."
Continuing, "Netizens, please do not worry. I know how hard it is because I once broke my leg while horseback riding. (Eun Eun-hyang) must be going through an incredibly difficult time. Now, she cannot ride because she no longer trusts the horse. The female athletes who competed in the Olympics have large thighs, and the scratches on their faces are all from falls. "she said.
Im Sung, a Bank of Korea official, said with a smile, "Many people have recovered from their illnesses thanks to me. My niece, Baek Ok-dam, is one of them." When Eom Eun-hyang asked, "How is my niece, who looks like Tang Wei, doing these days?", Im Sung replied, "She is raising her children beautifully and living well. She is doing an excellent job as a mother." When asked why her niece did not appear in this latest work, Im Sung explained that she decided to focus on childcare, stating, "She must be a good mother to her baby."
There is a reason why I end sentences with nouns instead of verbs, '. When I ask my acquaintances, ", "Does it seem strange when I say this to them?" ', they reply, ', "It doesn't seem strange at all." '. I have a strong sense of pride, so I thought, "How could I receive such criticism?" People told me that inversion in speech is no joke; they said it is used in a completely conversational manner. ".
Lim Sung is well-known as a director who primarily recruits newcomers. When asked about the criteria for casting actors, he stated, "Since the specific episodes are already fully prepared, I can immediately tell whether someone's face and voice fit the roles."

Lim Sung-bank of Korea said that when he was filming The Handmaiden, he first received demands for a boycott due to the large number of malicious comments directed at him. Upon visiting the website, he found it flooded with posts demanding a boycott of The Handmaiden and Lim Sung. He stated that he left the posts up because he was afraid the MBC would block the website.
He said, "In the past, all reporters were my anti-fans, and there were other anti-fans as well, but now when acquaintances say they are having a hard time, I say the same. Even the president has about 48% anti-fans. When my drama was watched by 78% of the market share, there were about 12,000 anti-fans in South Korea. One should not be hurt by such things. One should view the attention as Oh Hi-ryeo (Auditor). I tried to write better by receiving criticism from anti-fans. He revealed that he believes today's self exists thanks to the anti-fans and reporters."
Lim Sung of the Bank of Korea made a surprising announcement that he plans to take a break. He said, ""For now, I think I should stop writing dramas. I am considering taking a break from dramas for several years. I believed that writing dramas and serials for several years would be fatal to one's health," "and when news emerged that he would be making a film, "he stated, "The film industry has died due to the coronavirus. I am taking a break for several years," "he said.
Eun-heung Eom asked Seong-han Lim how he overcomes moments when ideas dry up or he hits a slump. Lim said, "Even golf requires warming up the body. When I get stuck writing, I go for a walk and that helps loosen things up. People say you should wring out a dry cloth like it's a sponge, but I press gently on a paint tube, and then episodes emerge."

I also saw someone behind the Bank of Korea " who, not knowing I was there, was speaking ill of me. When I was at M Headquarters, I was hospitalized because I couldn't sleep. I went to a psychiatric and neurosurgery department due to sleeplessness, where I saw someone watching my drama through an open door. "You know all my faces, right? I look exactly like the photos." Someone recognized me not long ago. "I might look a bit rustic," " he said with a smile.
When asked, "Is it because Eun-heung is the youngest in the family that she is so cute?" Im Sung Bank of Korea replied, "It seems to be because I am the youngest," adding, "There is a misunderstanding. My older brother's name is Im Sung-an, and my name is Im Sung-han. Why would I use my brother's name? Our mother gave me a healthy name, which happens to be a male name, so that I would stay healthy," clarifying her own rumor. She further stated, "When M Headquarters released a work, the director said it sounded like a male name and disliked it. There was also a pen name called Hyang-ran."
Lim Sung of the Bank of Korea stated, "If I had the skill to write as much as ", why would I need my own support? I write every single line myself." He added, "I conduct all the interviews myself. It is regrettable that someone who doesn't even accept money is spending such precious time on me. When I investigate, I believe this cannot be entrusted to anyone else. To dig into the details, it must not be done by others."
Lim Sung Bank of Korea "After watching just five minutes of the drama, people said they thought it was Lim Sung's drama. You can tell just by looking at a Louis Vuitton bag, a Chanel bag, a Monet painting, or a Van Gogh painting. If too many people get involved, the artist's uniqueness disappears. Saying that after watching five minutes of the drama 'I thought it was Lim Sung's drama'is not an insult but a compliment", he said.

When asked if he plans to create a sequel, Im Sung, a Bank of Korea writer, said, "As a writer, I feel more regret than anyone else, but doesn't a first love not have an ending? Please leave it as a first love. Everything is about money, and it was clearly something I couldn't do." He added that whether it is "Gyeolsagok" or "Miss Durian," he would like to write a script and submit it to discuss a sequel.
I am not a writer who writes with pus, yet it took two years to prepare the report. Staying at home and sleeping only in short bursts eventually left me unable to sleep. I thought, 'I'm going mad,' and 'I'm losing my mind,' so I voluntarily checked myself into a general hospital at 11 p.m., revealing the hardships of being a writer. He said, 'In the emergency room, they gave me a few sleeping pills. Even after taking the first dose and stumbling, I couldn't sleep. It was extremely painful. I now understand that people who take sleeping pills do not die peacefully.'
After the drama production environment shifted to pre-production, Im Sung-"Bank of Korea "expressed great satisfaction, saying he would live on ". He also mentioned that in his recent works, he primarily showcased weekend dramas, stating "writing daily dramas was easy for me compared to weekend dramas". When Eom Eun-hyang "'Doctor Shin'asked how long it took to write the script ", Im Sung-"Bank of Korea "replied that it took about 18 months initially, followed by a revision period for approvals and other adjustments ".
Im Sung of the Bank of Korea stated that he uses a desktop rather than a laptop, explaining that the laptop keyboard does not fit him and that he uses an old desktop keyboard.
On this day, when Eom Eun-hyang praised Im Sung-han's sense for imitating her, Im Sung-han replied, "I don't like bears. I like foxes," eliciting laughter.
Lim Sung said on this day that his guest appearance was helped by God. He stated, "As I have lived, the saying 'do your best and leave the rest to heaven' fits perfectly. The fact that I was able to speak with Eum Eun-hyang today was also God's doing. I worked hard to catch God's eye, which is why this happened. For anyone who wants to succeed, if they do their best with a kind heart, God will make it happen," he advised.
Continuing, "one must not be arrogant. I tell my actors this: 'the moment you raise your head thinking you are superior, you will be cut by a blade. Never be arrogant, 'he said. Only then can you last. It could be God or Buddha, but I believe in the existence of a deity. Just believe in that and live diligently. That is the truth, "he added. Furthermore, "the fact that I can still write at this age is because heaven is helping me. I am currently fine, but I could suddenly fall ill, so I will do my best and live hard without harming others. Still, if something happens to me, there is nothing I can do, "he conveyed. Im Sung, however, stated that after communicating with newcomers and finishing a project, he changes his phone number.


Lim Sung Bank of Korea emphasized to Eom Eun-hyang that she should not eat " " and shared health tips whenever possible. When Eom Eun-hyang remarked that Lim Sung Bank of Korea's large house was expected, Lim Sung Bank of Korea responded with "You are a successful woman", adding "I mainly live at home, so I have no desire for cosmetics, bags, or other things, but I do desire a house", and said "How desperate it is". When Eom Eun-hyang said "You have great star power", Lim Sung Bank of Korea replied "It was not my intention. I really wanted to live quietly".
When asked if he planned to hold a fan meeting for the Bank of Korea, "I don't even have KakaoTalk, and I'm a shy nature. What kind of fan meeting is that? Please judge me by my work,"he replied with a smile. A question also arose about the ending. "Dongma (played by Kim Kyung-nam) does not die. He will have a chip implanted in him, just like his brother (played by Seo Ban, played by Moon Sung-ho). (Dongma) has lost most of his memory, so he cannot recognize Park Ju-mi (played by Sa Pi-young)."he answered.
The finale of "Gisaeng 3" ended with Seo Dong-ma (played by Bae Doona) being hit by a panel from the collapsed department store ceiling, covered in blood, and rushed away in an ambulance. In the ending of "Gisaeng 3," figures such as the Grim Reaper and the Baby Ghost appeared, teasing a fourth season; however, since the production of a subsequent season never materialized, the drama was harshly criticized as an irresponsible series that ended without an official conclusion.
Regarding the unique reason for the names of the characters in his drama, "Bank of Korea''Kkalsagok' the protagonist's name was 'Sa Pi-young'(played by Park Ju-mi). He recalled thinking of an intellectual name. There is no specific formula for names that come out easily. 'Shin Yu-shin'(played by Ji Young-san) was named with the character 'Shin (ghost)", meaning to change the brain. He stated that the names came out smoothly and easily.
The phone interview with Lim Sung-han on this day lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes. After the call, Eom Eun-hyang highly praised him, saying "He is indeed a person with an extraordinary mindset".

Earlier, Eom Eun-hyang announced via her SNS that she would hold her first live stream to commemorate 1 million subscribers on her channel. She currently has 3.56 million subscribers and apologized for the late notice, stating, "This is not a false announcement. It is surprisingly true. Writer Lim Seong-han contacted me. I will share all the behind-the-scenes details during the live stream," and shared the news of a joint live broadcast with Lim Seong-han.
Lim Sung debuted after writing the 1990 KBS Drama Special "Standing in the Maze," followed by works including "See It Again and Again," "The Odales," "The Handmaiden," "Lady Flower," "Oh Heaven," and "Madam Ahyeon-dong." Currently, the TV Chosun weekend drama "Doctor Shin" is airing.
As the matriarch of melodramas, the works he presented featured such unique worldviews and shocking scenes that the public had high curiosity about Lim Seong-han himself. Rumors that Lim Seong-han had received a divine possession from a ghost in every work, along with unusual news such as his declaration to stop writing and subsequent return, never ceased.
Notably, Lim Sung-han is famous for being an author who has been extremely reluctant to expose his face throughout his entire activity at the Bank of Korea. Even actors who have appeared in his works have revealed that they could not see Lim Sung-han's face directly and mostly communicated via phone or other means. Consequently, his first appearance before the public today has attracted significant attention.
