Writer Im Seong-han (Phoebe) revealed his voice to the public for the first time in 36 years.

On the 17th, Im Seong-han appeared as a telephone guest on the 1st million subscriber commemorative live broadcast hosted by comedy YouTuber Eom Eun-hyang on her YouTube channel 'Eom Eun-hyang'.

Eom Eun-hyang then said, "I'm curious about star Im Seong-han" and proceeded to call him.

The person believed to be Im Seong-han answered the call with "Hello?", to which Eom Eun-hyang replied, "Your voice sounds so gentle". The person believed to be Im Seong-han laughed and said, "I haven't spoken much today".

Eom Eun-hyang then asked, "I'll give you a quiz. 'Do you remember the scene where the protagonist Eunju washes cabbage in 'Watch and Watch"? She was told by her mother-in-law to clean it with a toothbrush. What color was the toothbrush?" The person believed to be Im Seong-han responded, "I don't remember. I leave the story once the work is over".

Next, Eom Eun-hyang asked the second question: "'In 'The Tale of Asura", Count Asura shoots a laser-like gaze. What color was the laser eye?" The person believed to be Im Seong-han answered, "Green, green color. Didn't many articles report that?".

When Eom Eun-hyang asked, "'In 'Marriage Contract, Divorce Composition", what kind of porridge did the director feed and kill? What was the unmentioned porridge? Among chicken porridge, egg porridge, bean porridge, and white porridge," the person believed to be Im Seong-han replied, "It was egg porridge and white porridge. White porridge is regular porridge, so I probably didn't use it".

Eom Eun-hyang then said, "(The person who answered the call) doesn't seem to be an imposter".

Im Seong-han explained his reason for deciding to appear on Eom Eun-hyang's channel: "People around me often said, 'Eom Eun-hyang's channel, which parodies Im Seong-han's dramas,'. I saw the difficulties of doing it alone, so I learned about it and made the call".

Previously, Eom Eun-hyang announced on her SNS: "'We are holding the first live broadcast to commemorate 1 million subscribers on the 'Eom Eun-hyang" channel. We currently have 3.56 million subscribers, and I apologize for the late notice. We plan to welcome writer Im Seong-han as a special guest for the first live broadcast. This is not a false announcement. Surprisingly, it is true. Writer Im Seong-han contacted us. We will share all behind-the-scenes stories during the live broadcast.

Im Seong-han made his debut in 1990 with the KBS Drama Special 'Standing in the Maze' and has since written dramas including 'Watch and Watch', 'The On-Dal Kings', 'The Handmaiden', 'The Flower Princess', 'Oh My God', and 'Ahyeon-dong Lady'. Currently, his TV Chosun weekend drama 'Doctor Shin' is airing.

As the 'Queen of Melodramas', his works are known for their unique worldviews and bold scenes, leading to high public curiosity about Im Seong-han himself. Rumors of him receiving a divine possession, as his works often feature 'ghosts', and his return after declaring a writing hiatus have been continuous.

Notably, Im Seong-han has long been known for avoiding any exposure of his face throughout his career. Even actors who have appeared in his works have stated that they have never seen his face in person and mostly communicated via phone or other means. Thus, his first public appearance of his face today has drawn significant attention.
