Park Seo-jin, who appeared on KBS2 'Problem Child in House,' successfully led her first solo talk show appearance since her debut with her pure, unfiltered talk.
The 276th episode of KBS2's entertainment program 'Problem Child in House Season 2' (hereafter 'Problem Child'), aired on July 31 at 8:30 p.m., saw the emerging entertainment phenomenon 'The God of Janggu' Park Seo-jin invited to the rooftop room, and together with Song Eun-yi, Kim Suk, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin Kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae, engaged in a dopamine-inducing quiz battle over outrageous problems. According to the Nielsen Korea ratings agency, 'Problem Child' recorded a nationwide rating of 3.2% and continues to rise.
That day, Park Seo-jin said, "I am so nervous and feel dizzy. I wondered if the other guests canceled and they called me alone," sharing her thoughts on her first solo talk show appearance. Park Seo-jin particularly worried about the quiz, and her confession, "I am like paper with no knowledge," drew laughter from Yang Se-chan, who is known as the quiz weakest link, nicknamed 'Kkang-kkangi,' as he confidently responded.
In addition, her candid and sincere talk drew attention. In particular, Park Seo-jin openly shared about her plastic surgery, stating, "At first, I didn't plan to confess, but one day as I stood on stage, my pre-surgery face appeared on the LED back screen. Due to guilt, I confessed frankly," she revealed. Moreover, she remarked, "Including plastic surgery, management, and hair transplants, it has cost about the price of a luxury sports car," which surprised the audience.
Moreover, she shared about her busier-than-ever daily life. Park Seo-jin mentioned, "When I had many schedules, it seemed like I had about 5 to 7 a day. I have to change the van every 1 to 2 years," which astonished everyone as she revealed that in just 3 to 4 days, her vehicle had traveled an impressive 2,300 km. She also reflected on her history as 'KBS's son,' starting from her appearance on 'Human Theater' at age 17, to 'Challenge! The Dream Stage' on 'Morning Yard' and 'Salim Nam,' revealing her friendship with Lim Young-woong, another star from 'Morning Yard,' which perked up ears. Park Seo-jin introduced Lim Young-woong as "a close older brother," but added, "He has reached such a high point. I can't freely reach out to him. I can't even call him," which sparked laughter.
Park Seo-jin's dramatic life story also heightened interest. She disclosed, "When I was unknown, I received fees of 100,000 to 200,000 won, but now it's about 100 times that amount." She shared the painful story about how she was hurt by a senior singer, saying, "I was told I shouldn't be a singer because I was ugly and my family was poor. One day at an event, I suddenly got cut, and it turned out that the senior didn't want to appear with me," which drew public outrage. She added, "I don't think that senior is in the music industry anymore," providing a sense of vindication as she recounted the kindness of the senior singers who helped her, especially expressing extraordinary gratitude to Jang Yoon-jung, stating, "She provided financial support for my mother's treatment for cervical cancer," which added warmth to the story.
She also reminisced about her childhood when she dropped out of high school to help her sick mother and worked with her father on a fishing boat, sharing a touching anecdote: "When I returned from the boat, the smell was overwhelming. I took the bus home, and children my age would come up and smell me. I sometimes got off in the middle and walked home." Later, Park Seo-jin shared updates about gifting her parents a newly built house and a dried fish store, evoking strong emotions, while also candidly expressing her realistic wish to "be a landlord and receive monthly rent," which made everyone laugh.
Meanwhile, during the quiz time, interesting information such as 'the first music bank No. 1 song for trot,' 'behaviors of those possessed by spirits,' 'contents of Steve Jobs' adoption pledge,' and 'details about the best efficiency home appliance refund program' enhanced interest. Additionally, the chemistry between 'knowledge paper' Park Seo-jin and 'Kkang-kkangi' Yang Se-chan stood out, as Park Seo-jin, who constantly exuded charming allure, remarked to Yang Se-chan, "To me, you seem like a Seoul National University student," giving him a thumbs up. In response, Yang Se-chan said, "I have to hang out with you from now on. I've found my little sister," amusing everyone around.
