Singer Yang Joon-il, also known as "Topgol GD," is garnering attention once again among netizens for his whimsical and innocent future dream revealed in a past broadcast.

A video released on the YouTube channel 'SBS Old Variety' features Yang Joon-il appearing on a quiz show and talk show in the early 1990s alongside Shin Sung-woo, who was a top star at the time.

The most eye-catching part of the broadcast was the talk about Yang Joon-il's future dream. When the MC asked, "What was your original dream?" Yang Joon-il answered "Santa Claus" without a moment's hesitation, causing a stir in the studio.

Flustered by the unexpected answer, the MC asked back, "How did you come to have such a thought?" Yang Joon-il added a bright reason like a child, saying, "Because they fly around on a sleigh. I like that."

At the time, Yang Joon-il was 23 years old. Regarding the answer as too fairy-tale-like for an adult male, the MC asked again, "How old are you?" When Yang Joon-il answered, "Twenty-three," the MC was surprised, saying, "And yet your thinking is this young?" To this, Yang Joon-il showed his innocence by asking back, "Is it being young? Or (is it) being correct?" turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

Unlike Shin Sung-woo, who appeared with him and gave a solemn and philosophical answer saying, "My dream is to sing until the day I collapse," Yang Joon-il, who said he wanted to sing "simple and cute songs" and dreamed of being Santa Claus, clearly shows his unique charm that was ahead of its time.
