'You Quiz on the Block' Park Jung-min revealed the reason he took a break from acting.
In the 11th episode of the tvN show 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz'), actor Park Jung-min, who became the head of a two-person publishing company, appeared.
As soon as he appeared on 'You Quiz', Park Jung-min started handing out business cards, saying, 'I made it look impressive to not be intimidated by big companies.'
After four years since his last grants, Park Jung-min greeted, 'My main job is acting, and today I came out as the head of the publishing company.' Then Yoo Jae-suk asked, 'I heard you declared a halt to your acting activities?' and Park Jung-min explained, 'I have never used the terms halt or sabbatical. It was a bit of an exaggeration. I said I would only take a year off, but suddenly claims of a halt, retirement, and sabbatical came up. Who cares? Why is that?'
He continued, 'That's not it; it's just a short break. In fact, it's common for actors to take a break of about a year, but that day it ranked first in entertainment news.'
Park Jung-min revealed that the reason he decided to take a break was, 'One day I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and saw a facial expression that felt very familiar. It was a facial expression that came from some movie, and it felt so sudden that I thought maybe I had nothing left to give, which made me feel strange.'
When asked what kind of expression it was, he replied, 'Why am I making the kind of expressions from movies even in my daily life?' He continued, 'After reflecting on this, I decided I need to start again.'
Hwang Jung-min, who is from the same company, opposed Park Jung-min's news of taking a break. Park Jung-min said, '(Hwang Jung-min) said, 'Don't take a break, you! Because if you take a break, who will earn money for the company?' which drew laughter.
