[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Comedian Jo Se-ho said to Im Ha-ryong, "I want to become a senior like that."

On the 8th, the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' aired an episode featuring Im Ha-ryong meeting Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho.

In the broadcast, Im Ha-ryong said, "I started my career as a comedian through special recruitment, and now it has been 40 years since my debut."

He added, "At that time, comedy programs were extremely popular nationwide. I was active in a fortunate era," and "Thanks to Shim Hyung-rae, I became well-known because we worked together on a corner."

He continued, "Then gradually, in the 2000s, only 'Gag Concert' remained while others disappeared. By 2020, almost all were gone," and said, "As a senior, I feel sorry. I wish it had been more established. It feels like the house has collapsed, but since it's a place to build a new house, we must live with hope and work hard."

Im Ha-ryong then mentioned Yoo Jae-suk, saying, "When he was a rookie, we did skits together. He was our class president."

Yoo Jae-suk responded, "Surprisingly, I appear a lot in 'Memories of the Schoolbag.' I appear often in classroom scenes. Just standing at attention and saluting."

Jo Se-ho expressed admiration toward Im Ha-ryong, saying, "I want to become a senior like that. Senior Im Ha-ryong is my dream," and added, "I want to build a building in Apgujeong-dong, live there, and go out for walks. I have to catch a taxi to go home."

When Im Ha-ryong said, "You have a lot of loans," Jo Se-ho replied, "As far as I know, that building doesn’t have any loans," which caused laughter.
