Singer Seo Su-nam opened up about the changes that have come with the passage of time.
On the 28th, a video titled "Junior Hong-ryeol pays respects to his senior" was uploaded to comedian Lee Hong-ryeol's YouTube channel, 'Lee Hong-ryeol TV.'
Lee Hong-ryeol visited the home of Seo Su-nam, who is his high school senior.
The production team asked Seo Su-nam and Lee Hong-ryeol, "When did your friendship begin?" In response, Seo Su-nam said, "I never thought I would have a younger brother like this. When I saw Lee Hong-ryeol in the entertainment industry, I thought, 'Why is that guy so annoying?' He was someone I wanted to bonk on the head." He added, "But when I found out he was my high school junior, I thought, 'I'm done for.'"
Lee Hong-ryeol shared, "The senior I remember is this: after I debuted, I did a lot of open broadcasts. Whenever Seo Su-nam and Ha Cheong-il appeared on the open broadcast, it was always fun to go over to my senior's side. He had an excellent sense of comedy." He added, "Knowing he was my senior, I thought, 'I have someone to lean on.'"

Seo Su-nam also shared an anecdote about his debut. He said, "I debuted in 1964. I entered a contest while I was a sophomore in college. They gave me an award at the time. Back then, no one else was singing while holding a guitar." He explained, "Everyone else was singing pop songs, but only I sang country songs. Then someone said that if I went to the U.S. Eighth Army in Itaewon and sang there, it would be popular." He revealed that as a result, Seo Su-nam obtained the qualifications to work as a singer for the U.S. Eighth Army.
Additionally, Seo Su-nam, who was born in 1943 and is now 83 years old, also mentioned the physical changes that have occurred over time. He said, "I'm old now too. Because I'm old, my hair is white. In the old days, this would be an age when one would be lying down on a mountain."
Afterward, Seo Su-nam also performed one of his hit songs. He confessed, "I became a singer because I liked singing while holding a guitar, but I don't consider myself a singer who sings well."
Lee Hong-ryeol asked Seo Su-nam, "Have you ever felt that as you've gotten older, you can't handle high notes as well as before?" In response, Seo Su-nam answered, "(It's) different (from before). My tone has changed a little, and of course my breathing and strength have also declined."
