Im Woo-il Reveals Yang Se-chan's Strictness on JTBC's 'Talk Pawon 25 Hours'

Im Woo-il's revelation about Yang Se-chan's strictness caught attention.

On the October 27th episode of JTBC's 'Talk Pawon 25 Hours', Im Woo-il made an appearance.

During the broadcast, Kim Sook mentioned, "I heard that Yang Se-chan keeps Im Woo-il in line." Im Woo-il responded, "Although I'm older, I debuted at K Broadcasting in 2011, while Yang Se-chan debuted at S Broadcasting in 2005."

Kim Sook expressed surprise, "Then, since you're from different companies, shouldn't he not be able to keep you in line?" Im Woo-il humorously replied, "But whenever Yang Se-chan meets me, his basic greeting is 'Attention!' Even when we meet outside the broadcasting station, he says 'Attention!'"

Im Woo-il also shared a phone call episode, saying, "When I told Yang Se-chan I was in Apgujeong for work, he was like, 'Apgujeong? You in Apgujeong?' keeping me in line."

Im Woo-il continued, "When Yang Se-chan asked what I drink, and I said wine, he was like, 'Wine?' keeping me in check. It's not wrong to drink wine, but he was like that." Yang Se-chan explained, "I wasn't keeping him in check; I was just joking about the contrast with his frugal image."

Kim Sook pointed out, "Isn't it odd since he's not your direct senior?" She then asked Im Woo-il about his batch at K Broadcasting. Im Woo-il said he was from the 26th batch, while Kim Sook revealed she was from the 12th batch, making her a senior Im Woo-il couldn't even look at. When Im Woo-il looked at Kim Sook, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "He's looking again," and Yang Se-chan jokingly questioned, "Why are you looking?" Kim Sook also humorously asked, "How dare you look at me?"

Meanwhile, known as a 'frugal king' in the entertainment industry, Im Woo-il was asked about his spending habits while traveling. He said, "I have separate areas where I spend and save. I tend to save on transportation, so I walk a lot. Two years ago, when traveling with juniors in Bangkok, we walked an average of 20km a day." Im Woo-il added, "I enjoy walking around neighborhoods, but as a representative walker, my travel companions are dwindling." However, he doesn't skimp on food, sharing that he visited a rooftop restaurant in Bangkok after a junior expressed a desire to eat delicious food.
