Im Sung-hoon, I was afraid of recording after crying about this happening to the world



Lim Sung-hoon, a broadcaster, shed tears by mentioning 'What happened to the instant capture world' that he hosted for as many as 26 years.

On the 13th, tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' is 'the first talk show in 50 years since its debut! Im Sung-hoon posted a video clip that he confided in U-Quiz saying, "'Oh my God, this happened'Last recording story'.

In the video, Im Sung-hoon surprised by saying that it was his first appearance on a talk show 'Uquiz'. As for the reason why he decided to appear on a talk show for the first time in 50 years since his debut, he thought the program was really good. I thought I was going out and telling all the stories in my heart. If it's a program where warm stories come and go for the first time in a long time, I wondered why I couldn't go out and do it."




When asked about the reason for entering the broadcast on the same day, Lim Sung-hoon said "Even now, many people still call it 'Im Sung-hoon announcer." Then I explain 'I'm not a former announcer'."

Lim Sung-hoon also revealed behind-the-scenes stories of the program he's been in charge of. He was the host of KBS 'live K-pop top 10' for 10 years from 1981 and encountered Cho Yong-pil once a week because of 'Music top 10' no matter how busy he was. After the show, I used to go to billiards even if I had a schedule the next day."

Yoo Jae-seok appeared when Im Sung-hoon's story of 'Love Studio' came out. I went and danced Dooley." When Lim Sung-hoon heard this, he was surprised and remembered "Oh, yes, that's right".

In addition, Im Sung-hoon referred to the time when the quiz was good, which was broadcast live "I went to the broadcasting station in the morning because I was anxious. I have to go and study if there are more than 100 questions that will come out that day. It's a broadcast on Sunday, and from Saturday, he confessed that he had cramps in his head thinking, `What if I get it wrong when I have to go and study tomorrow?'"

In particular, Lim Sung-hoon showed his special affection for SBS 'What Happened to the Moment-Capture World' that he hosted for 26 years. He showed emotion in the last broadcast last year, saying, `The thing I was most afraid of was the next recording. (Last broadcast) I wondered how empty it would be the next week. "I cried once again.

Lim Sung-hoon, who celebrated his 50th anniversary this year, said "I rarely didn't monitor. It's been less than 10 times that I haven't been able to monitor it," he said. "People say I've been on the show for a long time, so why do you watch it every time?" But I think I should look. You still have to fix that', I always thought, 'You're not good enough.' I'm trying to do better," he said, expressing his extraordinary professionalism.
