During the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy" broadcast on the 2nd, actor Im Soo-hyang appeared as a special MC.

On this day's broadcast, Shin Dong-yeob brought up Im Soo-hyang with a sense of regret. He asked, "I heard that 'New Giseang Story' has been rerun countless times over the past 15 years, but you've never received any residual fees. How did that happen?"

Shin Dong-yeob then asked, "Don't tell me you didn't apply for them?", and Im Soo-hyang answered yes, surprising everyone. Im Soo-hyang explained, "The show gets rerun quite a lot every year. It happens so often that even young friends these days talk about watching it. But I found out about the system way too late. Later on, the association looked for me, telling me why I hadn't registered and that a large amount of money had piled up."

Im Soo-hyang added, "I found out after the drama 'Iris' aired, but they told me I couldn't receive anything for the works before that," drawing sympathy from everyone.

Also on this day, Im Soo-hyang picked Kim Hee-chul as the "My Little Old Boy" cast member closest to her ideal type. She drew laughter by revealing the real reason for choosing Kim Hee-chul, saying, "Kim Hee-chul, Heo Kyung-hwan, Yoon Hyun-min, and Choi Jin-hyeok are all older brothers I know personally. Still, I will pick Hee-chul oppa, who I'm closest with. You don't get into scandals with oppa."
