Park Seo-jin from 'Salim Nam' surprised the MCs with an active display of affection toward Ji Sang-ryeol.
On the broadcast of KBS2's 'Salim Men 2' on the 8th, Park Seo-jin was depicted visiting Ji Sang-ryeol's house.
Dressed in boyfriend fashion and holding a bouquet, Park Seo-jin headed somewhere with an excited expression. He expressed his feelings, saying, "For the first time in my life, I'm going to the house of the person I want to get closer to, whom I've been invited by. This is my first time visiting someone's house. That person resembles a puppy and makes me smile and feel good. They are the person I don't want to miss in my life."
The place he was heading was Ji Sang-ryeol's house. Park Seo-jin, who actively reacted to Ji Sang-ryeol's stories during filming, expressed his fondness, saying, "Sang-ryeol is my style." Ji Sang-ryeol also noted, "If you ask why I invited you, it's just because I like you. There's no reason. I wanted to see why. Because when a man invites you to his house or to the bath, it's a true close friend."
Later, Park Seo-jin gifted baby lotion for Ji Sang-ryeol, saying, "You know I've been itching a lot, right?" In response to the comment, "My heart is the Silk Road. It's like a prince," Park Seo-jin actively responded, "It's because I like you, brother." Baek Ji-young, who had previously received criticism for expressing inadequately, exclaimed, "Why are you two like this? Stop!"
Ji Sang-ryeol asked, "How old are you now? If you're 31, that means we have a 25-year age difference. You are practically like a son to me. But I'm starting to think that age doesn't matter as long as the connection matches. I felt a convergence of thoughts with Seo-jin at some point. Didn't you ask me for my phone number?" On a prior occasion, Park Seo-jin approached Ji Sang-ryeol for contact information while they were filming, and Ji Sang-ryeol jokingly said, "You mentioned you'd meet someone special this year; is it you?"
To this, Park Seo-jin expressed concern, saying, "I shouldn't be there," but still asked, "What was your intention in asking for my contact information?" He honestly replied, "You are really fun and my ideal type is a special person whose personality is the opposite of mine." After hearing this, Ji Sang-ryeol remarked, "It's strange to call someone your ideal type as a man. Brother, you need to meet someone too," while Park Seo-jin quipped, "Isn't it fine if anything connects? It feels like a carnivorous plant."
Park Seo-jin remarked, "If there's a 25-year age difference with me, it's only 3 years different from my mom," and added, "I really feel like I have good vibes. This year seems to be the energy for meeting a woman." Ji Sang-ryeol responded, "Why bring up your mom? Do you think your father won't like this?" This led to laughter as he said, "I was shocked too. Are you asking me to be your dad?" When Ji Sang-ryeol asked, "Is it your dad?" Park Seo-jin replied, "Of course it's my dad; why did you phrase it like that?"
Later, Ji Sang-ryeol expressed his affection by gifting a vinyl record to Park Seo-jin, who shared, "I visited because I wanted to, and it seemed like it made him happy as he kept trying to take care of me. I was touched that he values me like this. He really gave me a treasured vinyl. When I said I didn't have a turntable, he offered to get one for me."
Furthermore, Ji Sang-ryeol noted that although he has been in Incheon for 10 years, he had never explored the area. He suggested, "You need to go on a tour with me today. Incheon is amazing; places like Sinpo Market, Wolmido, and Chinatown are incredible. Let's go outside and take a look." First visiting Sinpo Market, Ji Sang-ryeol trained Park Seo-jin on how to react. He commented, "There's some jostling, but that makes it more attractive. Nowadays, there are so many people who can speak well. Why do we always have to pop up like a jukebox? This is the opposite. I like Seo-jin in this way."
However, while trying to ride the Viking at Wolmido amusement park, a rift occurred between the two. Ji Sang-ryeol, who has arrhythmia, explained, "This isn't an excuse, but my heart is racing. If I'm not careful, it's really dangerous. Yet, I'm still riding," and Park Seo-jin added, "I was really scared, but since you said you would ride with me, I trusted you." However, at the last moment, Ji Sang-ryeol betrayed Park Seo-jin and got off the Viking.
Park Seo-jin expressed, "It felt like being stabbed in the foot by a trusted axe. When someone is really shocked, they don't even curse, right?" He reflected, "My feelings for Sang-ryeol melted away to such an extent. I felt betrayed enough to overcome my fear of heights." He expressed his shock, saying, "I thought I was crossing the Jordan River, and I didn't expect to get off at that moment. It was like when a little puppy is left behind by its owner. I felt that kind of sadness at that time, which made Ji Sang-ryeol flustered.
Afterward, Park Seo-jin opened up to Ji Sang-ryeol about his worries. He said, "Although my time in obscurity was long, I suddenly received the spotlight. I feel a desire to maintain that position, fearing that I might slip away. It makes me think that perhaps it was too quick. I can't bear the gazes of people. Sometimes, I think I might not be able to hold all of this; bad things seem bigger. The negatives stand out more."
Ji Sang-ryeol responded, "Isn't it true that negatives appear bigger? Even a small wound stands out; that's what people see. Thus, you need practice. That becomes the foundation for everything. While we talk and smile now, back then I thought, 'Did I really get to this point?' But I made that choice. When you think about it, yesterday is history; today is what matters. Isn't today like a gift? Because you've lived well, you have gifts like today. No one can hold the reins of your life for you. You need to take control and navigate. It's you who holds the reins, not anyone else. Not even your parents can do that. Going through obstacles in life shapes your strength."
He said, "A skilled sailor can't emerge without rough seas; there's no need to wonder why the rough seas come to me. No one can steer it for you," and Baek Ji-young added, "You must strive not to be influenced. Negative comments or posts are like garbage in their hearts. Don't bring that rubbish into your life. Promise you won't act that way."
Park Seo-jin stated, "I'm practicing a lot," and Ji Sang-ryeol noted, "The most important thing is that you need to be healthy. You need to know how to map out your life's timetable. The thing I like the most is 'It's my life.' It's about my life." Park Seo-jin expressed his gratitude, saying, "There's no one to talk to when it gets tough. While talking to Sang-ryeol, I realized he's someone who gives a lot of advice."
Additionally, Ji Sang-ryeol instructed Park Seo-jin to tell his mother, "I love you," while observing him on the phone. He remarked, "That's the best thing I've ever done in my life; expressing like, 'Mom, you know I love you?'" Baek Ji-young was moved, saying, "I should do that too," as tears streamed down her face.
Finally, Ji Sang-ryeol expressed, "Just because you meet often doesn't mean you become close. There are genuinely close friends with whom you meet only once a year, irrespective of age or seniority. That's what true friendship is," emphasizing the strong bond he shares with Park Seo-jin. Park Seo-jin replied, "Is there ever a day in life when I can spend it with a great senior like you? Thank you sincerely for being with me."
