[MyDaily = Reporter Kim Ha-young] Actor Kim Jun-han discussed the royalties from izi's signature song "Emergency Room."

On March 28, Kim appeared on the YouTube series "Yoo Yeon-seok's Weekend Yeonseok Play," recalling izi's hit "Emergency Room" and saying it "has continued to support my life like a steady drizzle."

That day, Kim explained that he moved to Seoul after graduating high school to pursue music. "I started in high school, but I only made up my mind in my senior year," he said, reflecting on his early passion for music.

When Yoo asked what kept him involved in music, Kim said he joined the band out of curiosity. "At that age, when friends get obsessed with something, you just go all in," he recalled.

At Yoo's request, Kim reluctantly played the drums, noting, "I don't do music anymore — it's been over 15 years." Still, he showed he hadn't lost his touch, playing along to the "Emergency Room" backing track. Afterwards he laughed, "My body used to move on its own."

Yoo asked if "Emergency Room" still shows up at karaoke. Kim joked that his singing has improved and that he's "used to it now," drawing laughter. When someone mentioned a rumor the song had dropped out of karaoke's Top 100, Kim checked and found it still sitting at No. 5 — a discovery that clearly pleased him.

He added that the song hasn't left the Top 100 in the past 20 years. Yoo quipped that at this rate Kim might "become a property owner," and castmate Lee Jong-won joined in, joking, "How to become a landlord with 'Emergency Room,'" sending the set into laughter.
