'The Queen of Melodramas' Lim Seong-han, who drew attention for the first time revealing her voice via a YouTube live broadcast after 36 years since her debut, has also drawn interest regarding the recent activities of her niece, actress Baek Ok-dam.

'Lim Seong-han' appeared via telephone connection on the YouTube channel 'Eom Eun-hyang' live broadcast on the 17th. On that day, she drew attention by emphasizing healthy eating habits and stating, ''I have many people who recovered from illness. (My niece) Baek Ok-dam is one of them".'

'Lim Seong-han' responded to MC Eom Eun-hyang's question, '"How is my niece who resembles Tang Wei doing?",' by saying, '"She is raising her children well and living a good life. She is doing a great job as a mother".' Additionally, she explained that she had her niece Baek Ok-dam focus on childcare to '"be a good mother to her child",' which is why Baek Ok-dam did not appear in the TV Chosun drama ''Doctor Shin',' which she wrote.

'Baek Ok-dam' debuted on the small screen in 2007 with the MBC drama ''Ahyeondong Madam'.' She became known primarily by appearing in works by writer Lim Seong-han, including ''Ahyeondong Madam',' ''The Tale of the Nine-Tailed Fox'' (2011), ''Princess Aurora'' (2013), and ''Apgujeong White Night'' (2014–2015). In particular, she gained attention for her appearance resembling ''Tang Wei'' in ''The Tale of the Nine-Tailed Fox',' and related dialogue appeared in the drama, drawing further attention.

'Lim Seong-han's niece' was swept up in a ''favoritism controversy'' after it was revealed that she, despite playing a supporting role, occupied a relatively large amount of screen time. Additionally, even after Lim Seong-han went on a hiatus from writing following ''Apgujeong White Night',' Baek Ok-dam continued her activities by appearing in the 2015 drama ''The Unusual Daughter-in-Law'.'

'Baek Ok-dam' announced a fresh start by moving to Hanareum Company in 2016, but no clear news of a follow-up project has been reported since then. However, it is known that she participated in a campaign in 2017 organized by the Love Organ Donation Headquarters to improve awareness of organ donation and promote corneal donation.
