Park Myung Soo recalled his family's reactions from early in his career, sharing a warm behind-the-scenes story with laughter.
On the 16th, a video titled 'If you comment Gangneung, we'll give you half-day open-run restaurant info in Gangneung' was posted on the YouTube channel "Hal Myung Soo." That day, Park Myung Soo, unable to resist the production team's strong urging, departed from Seoul for a same-day trip to Gangneung.
At a cafe in Gangneung, while enjoying financier mukbang, Park Myung Soo was asked by the production team, "After you passed MBC, what did your family say at home?" In response, Park Myung Soo recalled his debut period and shared candid family stories.
Park Myung Soo said, "They said, 'You have no connections or backing, what kind of entertainer are you?'" and added, "But after I started working, they liked it a lot." He continued, "Since the income was steady, my father thought he was rich and started spending extravagantly. It's money I earned," drawing laughter.
He then recounted a memory related to his first commercial income. Park Myung Soo recalled, "My face became known and I filmed a commercial and received 20 million won," and said, "When I brought that money in cash to my father, he cried." He added, "My father said, 'I should have given birth to you as twins,'" filling the set with laughter.
When the production team asked, "Mrs. Shin Gap-soon must have been very pleased too," Park Myung Soo answered, "My mother is very frugal, now and then. She rarely wears clothes that cost more than 20,000 won." On the other hand, he said, "My father, conversely, spent money extravagantly," conveying a bittersweet family atmosphere.
When asked about his relationship with his younger sibling, he briefly answered, "sibling relationship," revealing his characteristic laconic manner of speaking.
Meanwhile, Park Myung Soo was born in 1970 and is 55 this year. He debuted in 1993, gained great love through the variety program Infinite Challenge, and continues active work across radio, variety shows and YouTube.<
