Drama writer Im Seong-han revealed the backstory of her attachment to "miljeonbyeong."
On the 17th, YouTuber Eom Eun-hyang conducted a live broadcast on her personal channel. As previously announced, drama writer Im Seong-han attended as a special guest, drawing attention.
The motif that Im Seong-han repeatedly includes in many works was "miljeonbyeong." Before connecting by phone, Eom Eun-hyang even made and ate miljeonbyeong herself. In fact, writer Im Seong-han said, "I was also surprised and burst out laughing that I had used miljeonbyeong so many times. I didn't realize I had used it that much. The moment I checked, I felt sorry toward the viewers. I should have varied the episodes, but there were things that were the same. I want to say I'm sorry."
She explained her know-how, saying, "I never eat miljeonbyeong as a staple food. Absolutely not. When I was 7, I went to a mother's friend's house and saw it, and then saw an upgraded version of it where you shape the flour batter with a spoon. And you have to eat it by adding red pepper powder to the soy dipping sauce. The recipe for what you make for babies is different again. For children it's stimulating, so you don't use the soy dipping sauce and you add egg, so there's a difference in texture."
In particular, Im Seong-han emphasized managing health through eating habits. She said, "In my case, something that looked like an osteosarcoma was protruding beside my face. I was startled and went to the hospital, and they said there really was something on my face. They tried to do a tissue test, but because it was around Chuseok they said to do it afterward; what appeared seemed acidic, so I changed my diet. I want to meet one day to share health know-how. If your eating habits are bad, it will happen again. If your eating habits are good, it ends."
She continued, "Internet users, don't worry. I once broke my leg while horseback riding, so I know how hard it is. But now I don't trust horses anymore, so I don't ride. When I see the women competing in the Olympics, their thighs are thick and they inevitably fly off and fall. When riding a horse, I felt sorry for the horse. The bit in the horse's mouth. I quit because of that opportunity," she added, adding laughter.
Im Seong-han is a star drama writer who was loved for works such as "Watch and Watch Again," "The Mermaid," "Oh God," "Wife's Temptation," "New Tales of Gisaeng," "Apgujeong Midnight Sun," and "Aurora Princess." Once retired, she returned under the pen name "Phoebe," presenting works such as the "Love (ft. Marriage & Divorce)" series and "Assi Durian." She is currently meeting viewers with TV CHOSUN weekend drama "Doctor Shin."
