However, he confessed that there was also a dangerous accident while growing the garden and managing the house himself. He said "There are 20 apple trees in my house. Since I have to manage it myself, pesticides got in my mouth while I was working on the weeding. I felt dizzy to the point of my head, and it was getting weird. Eventually, I called an ambulance, and I fell unconscious and went to the emergency room..." he explained the situation at the time.

Then "I went to the hospital, washed my stomach, and got treated. Even so, I can't quit farming, he said. He added that he is still continuing his rural life.

As for why he continues to live in a large house, Lim Hyun-sik said, "I want to move to a small place. There are times when I want to play comfortably, too. But I can't leave because it's a legacy left by my mother."
