Seol Woon-do expressed his gratitude to Lim Young-woong.
Seol Woon-do appeared on tvN STORY's 'Now, This Moment', which aired on the 27th.
Seol Woon-do revealed his home located in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do. The large mansion and lush front garden stole the MC's attention. MC Baek Ji-young surprised everyone by saying, “I looked into the price of trees, and these trees cost tens of millions of won.” The yard, which was landscaped by Seol Undo himself, had various plants and stones of various shapes.
Seolwundo also boasted of the many stones that decorated the house. From the shape reminiscent of a painting to the precious mountain pumice stone boasting a price of hundreds of millions of won, saying, "I have no intention of selling it until I die," he seemed to cherish his collection.
Seol Woon-do revealed his love story with his wife, actress Lee Su-jin. In 1989, Seol Woon-do said that when Su-jin Lee, who was a new actress at the time, said that it was her dream to release an album, he introduced himself as a famous composer to win her favor and made a date under the pretext of giving her a song.
On their second date, Seol Woon-do revealed that he had an eldest son, Lee Seung-hyun. It is said that 30 years ago, Seol Woon-do composed a song based on the contents of a letter his wife wrote to him after a fight. Seol Woon-do, who felt sorry for his wife after reading the contents of the letter, created lyrics based on the contents of the letter. The song is ‘Woman Woman Woman’. It is said that when Seol Woon-do played the guitar and sang a song, his wife sobbed. Seol Woon-do said, “I thought to myself, ‘This is going to be a good business.’”
Seol Woon-do's song 'Purple Postcard' was sung by Yip Young-woong in the semi-finals of 'Mr. Trot', making a comeback for the first time in 23 years. Seol Woon-do also expressed his gratitude to Lim Young-woong. At the time, both Lim Young-woong and Lee Chan-won chose this song, but Seol Woon-do decided that Lim Young-woong's singing style was better suited to this song, so he chose Lim Young-woong to sing it. Seol Woon-do said, "Chanwon is good at trot songs, and Lim Young-woong has a standard style. 'Purple Postcard' is not a song that breaks. Lim Young-woong does not use vibrato, controls the singing dynamics well, and is lyrical. Chan-won sings 'Lost'. “30 years,’ and Young-ro said, ‘Do Purple Postcard.’” Seol Woon-do said, "You made a song from 23 years ago become a huge hit in an instant. As a composer and singer, I'm grateful. I wanted to give you the song."
Accordingly, the song Seol Woon-do gifted to Lim Young-woong was ‘My Love Like Starlight.’ Seol Woon-do said, "I happened to be participating in 'Mulberry Academy', so I used my brain. I said that I would give a new song to the person who won the 'Dol Song Festival'. I thought Young-rok would win, but Young-tak won that day. Sorry for Young-tak. “When I asked him, he said he would give in,” he said.
Seol Woon-do relayed Lim Young-woong’s reaction after hearing this song and praised him. Seol Woon-do said, “What surprised me was that he said, ‘Sir, I like this part,’ and chose ‘Why do I cry so much?’ This is something you would never be able to say without understanding this music. That part was the theme of the entire lyrics.” .
