He shared how a fall on the stairs during his time as a rookie reporter became the decisive turning point that led to an exclusive interview with actress Kim Hee-sun.

On the 3rd, a video titled "Boom, Nucksal, and Hanhae had a blast. A massive release of amazing talk skills" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup'.

During the broadcast, Boom spoke candidly about his journey from his childhood desire to become a celebrity to his debut as a VJ.

"I unconditionally wanted to be a celebrity," Boom said, adding, "My thought was that if I entered a broadcasting station, I would become someone like them."

He explained, "Gong Yoo was also a former VJ, and Noh Hong Chul did really well. So, I also auditioned to be a VJ."

Boom, who began his broadcasting career as an Mnet VJ, revealed that he worked more actively on-site than anyone else to stand out.

Recalling those days, he said, "I wanted to stand out so much that I took on all the reporting under difficult conditions."

The most impressive anecdote shared by Boom was an episode from his rookie days involving actress Kim Hee-sun.

At the time, numerous reporters and media crews flocked to the Chung-Ang University Department of Theater and Film graduation ceremony to see Kim Hee-sun, who was graduating after about 10 years.

Boom recounted the situation, saying, "The door opened and Kim Hee-sun came out, and the managers pushed me, saying 'Come out,' and I tumbled down the stairs."

The accident happened in an instant, and the impact was strong enough to break his microphone and even cause the battery to pop out, damaging the broadcasting equipment.

However, something unexpected happened at that moment.

Kim Hee-sun approached the fallen Boom and was the first to ask, "Are you okay?"

Recalling the moment, Boom said, "Kim Hee-sun helped me up back then," and added, "She then said, 'I will do an exclusive interview.'"
