"The reclusive" writer Im Seong-han's real appearance will be revealed for the first time in 36 years.
On the 14th, Um Eun-hyang announced via her YouTube channel and other SNS accounts that she will hold a live broadcast with writer Im Seong-han (Phoebe) on the 17th.
Earlier, Um Eun-hyang posted an emergency notice on the 7th and wrote, "I was contacted by writer Im Seong-han! Next week 'Um Eun-hyang' will hold the first live to celebrate 1 million subscribers. Guest writer Im Seong-han. It's not a hoax, it's real! Strip off and worship the saint!!!" drawing attention.
Um Eun-hyang is currently a comedy YouTuber with 640,000 subscribers who has been loved for content that uses various drama clichés. Among them, she elicited laughter by exquisitely recreating the unique settings, lines and character speech patterns of writer Im Seong-han's works.
When she announced the live broadcast with writer Im Seong-han, a heated reaction poured in. In particular, Im Seong-han is a figure strongly inclined to secrecy, with so few photos known publicly that there are barely any. She rarely contacts the media, and after debuting as a screenwriter with the 1990 KBS drama special 'Standing in the Maze,' she has never appeared on broadcasts or in the media, leaving only questions about her identity.
Many people reacted skeptically to the news that writer Im Seong-han would appear on 'Um Eun-hyang,' and on the 13th Um Eun-hyang posted again emphasizing its truth, "This week's 'Um Eun-hyang' channel 1 million subscriber celebration first live! Currently she has 3.56 million subscribers, sorry for the late notice~! And as a first live special guest we will host writer Im Seong-han!!! Because it's about the 1 million subscriber celebration some say it's an empty boast; but surprisingly it's true!!! The writer contacted us. She said she will reveal all behind-the-scenes on the live!!!"
She said, "For the first live, please leave questions for 'Um Eun-hyang' in the comments! And if you also leave questions for writer Im Seong-han I will ask them on your behalf~? I will post the date and time again as an official notice."
Um Eun-hyang announced the specific date and time of the live broadcast, saying, "Um Eun-hyang x Im Seong-han special guest? First live to celebrate 1 million subscribers, please watch ♥ 2026.4.17 Friday 7:45 p.m. YouTube Um Eun-hyang channel," and added, "Special guest Im Seong-han is not a joke" to heighten expectations.
Meanwhile, Im Seong-han wrote many hit works such as the dramas 'See and Again,' 'Prince Ondal,' 'The Mermaid,' 'The King Flower Fairy,' 'Oh My God,' 'The Lady of Ahyeon-dong,' 'Gem Bibimbap,' 'New Tales of Gisaeng,' 'Princess Aurora,' 'Apgujeong Midnight Sun,' the 'Love (ft. Marriage & Divorce)' series, and 'Durian's Affair.' Her latest work, the TV CHOSUN weekend drama 'Doctor Shin,' is currently airing.
