Comedian Lim Ha-ryong, known as "wealthy in connections," revealed that he is no longer obsessed with relationships.
On the 6th, a video titled "The Celebrity with the Highest Attendance Rate at Events No Longer Obsessed with Relationships | Seo Kyung-seok's Life Lessons" was posted on the YouTube channel "Knowledge Inside."
Lim Ha-ryong shared his secret to maintaining long-lasting relationships, saying, "We meet during lunch instead of dinner, so it lasts longer. When you drink, words come out, and if you play without manners, the relationship breaks. Lunch is less burdensome."
He stated that he no longer tries to be close with everyone, saying, "I've become a bit more ruthless lately. In the past, I would answer any call, but now I've reached a point where I let some go. People say I've changed. I even hang up and don't answer calls to the point where it feels bad. It's hard for me too," he confessed.
Seo Kyung-seok commented, "Even if there are some things you don't like, I think you would maintain the relationship until the end," to which Lim Ha-ryong replied, "I've become a bit more ruthless lately."
He explained, "I have to endure it, but it's hard for me. I dislike that atmosphere, but if I have to stay together while having fun, I tend to cut off a bit now. As I get older, I don't want to get involved. So, I might hear that I've changed. I used to worry about that, but now I don't. It's hard for me."
He continued, "Especially for those who drink, I used to take care of them until the end, but in the past, many would just leave. I used to think, 'Why do friends do that?' but now I understand. I'm struggling. I can't even handle myself, and I feel like I've become quite bold, to the point where I seem harsh," he admitted.
Seo Kyung-seok asked, "Did you feel more comfortable after changing your approach?"
Lim Ha-ryong replied, "At first, I was so timid that I worried about it. There are cases where I've tolerated people because we were close, but now there are people I feel I can't go with. I often say I attend many events, but I go because I feel comfortable. If I don't go, I feel sorry and it's hard for me. Still, these days, I've become a bit more cold-hearted," he added.
