She continued, recalling, "My older sister burst into our house on the day of Oppa Dong-yeop's first broadcast and said, 'A friend has debuted.' So I watched that first broadcast with her. I was in middle school at the time."
Park Gyeong-rim had known about Shin Dong-yeop's existence long before his debut. She reported that her older sister highly praised his talent at the time, saying, "There is a friend of mine named Shin Dong-yeop in South Korea; if he can't become a comedian, no one among our citizens will be able to become a comedian."

He added that he had heard stories about Park Gyeong-rim back then as well, saying, "She told me she has a younger sibling with immense talent. Eventually, watching her succeed in broadcasting and become loved, I thought, 'That talent cannot be hidden.'"
In response, Park Gyeong-rim shared that it was so amazing when she got to work on a program with Oppa Dong-yeop after time had passed, saying, "I thought, 'This feels like a dream,'" creating a heartwarming moment.
