Comedian Park Na-rae hinted at a romantic connection with a person from Busan.
On the 19th, a video titled "Behind-the-scenes of the family gathering of Yomangjin Aesoon♥Gwan-sik, first love, proposal story, Busan dialect" was posted on the YouTube channel "Narae-sik."
In the video, Park Na-rae introduced Moon So-ri and Park Hae-jun as guests. Regarding Moon So-ri, she said, "I have a bar in Itaewon; Moon So-ri has a bar in Dongtan, both in the same industry," and added, "This is my first time seeing Park Hae-jun, but I heard he cooks well. They say he brings alcohol in the car, so I'm looking forward to it since Dong-yeob has been in the past." Park Na-rae introduced menu items primarily made with seafood and awaited customers.
Moon So-ri said, "Recently, a significant change occurred when I met Shin Dong-yeob on 'Jjanhan Hyung.' The next day, I realized how shameful and lacking humans are. Shin Dong-yeob is incredible. Since then, I haven't been drinking. I've really come to dislike alcohol." She particularly noted to Park Na-rae, who was concerned about the 'Dongtan Sori Bar,' "I moved to Yongsan. There are non-alcoholic beers and soft drinks, so I emphasize sobriety again."
Park Hae-jun and Moon So-ri worked together on Netflix's "When Life Gives You Tangerines." They collaborated for eight months, with Park Hae-jun and Moon So-ri playing the adult roles of Park Bo-gum and IU, respectively. Since the filming was done before the release, Park Na-rae humorously commented, "It might be a prejudice, but is it a romantic drama?" Moon So-ri shared, "(Park Bo-gum and IU) were filming first, and I was trying to find a connection as we proceeded. I was nervous, but IU has a mole on her left cheek, so we had a chance to film together and even read each other's lines while gathering at my home to eat tteokbokki and rehearse."
When asked about marriage, Park Hae-jun said, "Everyone thinks I married my first love. We met in college as a couple. It's almost my first love," and noted, "I obviously tell the kids that their mom is definitely their first love. It's easier that way." Park Hae-jun's wife, actress Oh Yoo-jin, shares a common background being from Mokpo with Park Na-rae. He proudly stated, "I inherited my mother-in-law's taste. People who have tasted it know she cooks well. I'm more of a rough cook, but my wife has exactly that flavor."
When discussing marriage, Moon So-ri said, "When juniors come to me for advice about marriage, the first thing I say is that life is unpredictable. There are so many forms of life these days, and I could live alone or have a family, but if I find someone who matches me well, marriage doesn't seem bad. I believe it's better to accept changes than to fear them. Even if it fails or is difficult, isn’t that just life? I think experiencing it is good for a person." In response to whether she would marry director Jang Joon-hwan in her next life, Moon So-ri jokingly replied, "That's uncertain." Park Hae-jun added, "If I really met my wife again in the next life, I think I would get married again. However, I don't really believe in the next life."
When asked about his favorite celebrity, Park Hae-jun mentioned Kian84. He said, "I feel like his life is really my style. Isn't there a certain way to live that you'd like to try? If he were my brother, I'd probably hit him for cleaning with bare hands. Yet, I really like those simple thoughts. I felt a bold vibe; it's a reflection on life, and it made me think about why we live so sensitively." Moon So-ri recounted, "In an interview with an overseas magazine, they asked, 'If you hadn't done movies, what would you have become?' I thought about it and said an alcoholic, which they found to be a very unique response. I think I would have still ended up as an alcoholic, no matter what."
Moon So-ri and Park Hae-jun have a connection with the theater company Chaimu. Moon So-ri remarked, "I've known Park Hae-jun since he was a kid. He was famous for being a trainee in the Korea National University of Arts, and as soon as he debuted in theater, he was so handsome and tall that I noticed him. I thought he was much younger, but we found out there's only a two-year age difference, and I was surprised it suited him so well as a villain. I never thought he would act so well because he seems so kind, but he's exceptionally good at it." Park Hae-jun shared about playing villains consecutively, "When I was in school, acting felt burdensome, but through theater, I found joy in it. Playing a villain takes me to an entirely different dimension, which is so fun. That aspect makes villain roles very enjoyable."
Moon So-ri and Park Hae-jun also share the commonality of being from Busan. Park Na-rae expressed, "As someone from Jeolla-do, I have a romantic notion about Busan men. They have charisma while also being straightforward, which I find very appealing." Moon So-ri countered, "The straightforwardness of a Gyeongsang-do person can be charming, but if they are consistently straightforward or hot-tempered throughout their life, that's not desirable, which is why I married someone from Jeonju." Park Hae-jun joked, "So, does my wife still love me like that? The love is dripping from her eyes."
Notably, Park Hae-jun revealed that he proposed in a theater. He said, "Everyone except my wife knew. I proposed during the curtain call." Moon So-ri remarked, "I was too embarrassed to propose in front of everyone, so I told him not to. While eating samgyetang, I said if a ring appeared here, I wouldn't marry him, and if something appeared on the electronic board, I wouldn't marry him either. I just didn't like that. But at some real estate place, an old man told me to get my ears pierced. He said if I didn’t want to get my ears pierced, I could wear big earrings to get married. My husband gifted me earrings that required me to have my ears pierced on my birthday with a letter that said, 'You know what this means, right?'"
Park Hae-jun recommended actor Tae In-ho, who is also his cousin, to Park Na-rae. The age difference between Park Na-rae and Tae In-ho is five years. Park Hae-jun said, "I haven't seen Tae In-ho in a while, so I don't know if he has a girlfriend, but it would be great if Park Na-rae became a part of our family." Moon So-ri teased, "I'll make sure to contact you if I see a Busan man," hinting at a romantic connection.
