2NE1 Sandara Park shared her secret for overcoming shyness on broadcasts as an introvert.
On the 3rd, the 'Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk' channel uploaded a video titled "YG is all talk about hip-hop! It turned out Sandara envied SM and Super Junior envied YG."
That day Eunhyuk, while hearing about introverted Sandara Park's personality, exclaimed, "She's a true pro. For someone like this to suddenly come out on stage with a pineapple-type hairstyle".
Sandara Park explained, "She expressed all her anger on stage. The members are all like that at the dorm, then when they go on stage they go 'eek' and when they come home they stay quiet again."
Eunhyuk asked, "Have you changed a lot now?" and Sandara Park shared her more extroverted recent state, saying, "Now I'm totally a social butterfly. There's nobody who doesn't know me."
Eunhyuk wondered, "Was there any trigger?" and Sandara Park said, "When I first did variety shows I received a lot of criticism. People called me a background prop, a fee shuttle, and while fighting through that for years, I did a program called 'Video Star' together. I spent four years with the best MC sisters, and after that when I went on other programs I found I could talk very well. I was completely trained and gained many repertoires. If someone comes in dressed showily, I say 'Would you like a tarot reading today?'; if someone talks about music I say 'I thought you were Im Jin-mo' and everyone bursts out laughing."
Eunhyuk replied, "A few lines for certain situations must have stacked up," and marveled, "It's amazing that you changed like this," and Sandara Park joked, "Now I'm so ENFP."
Eunhyuk asked, "Isn't it just like that in front of the camera?" and added, "These days introverted idol friends worry a lot. 'I'm not sociable, my voice is quiet, I have nothing; what should I do?' They ask if there's any way to overcome that."
Hearing this, Sandara Park gave a simple, clear answer that made people laugh: "You just get older." She said, "Time will solve it. I think I also learned by doing Spartan variety shows," revealing she overcame it by confronting it directly. Eunhyuk quipped in response, "Maybe it's because there are no Spartan variety shows now," which added to the laughter.
Sandara Park's remarks have drawn attention from netizens in connection with the recent controversy over actor Jung Jun-won's attitude on a broadcast. Jung Jun-won appeared as a guest on MBC's Hangout With Yoo broadcast on the 1st to promote the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama A Bona fide Killer alongside Kong Hyojin. But that day Jung Jun-won complained of extreme nervousness, saying, "I'm out of my mind. My head feels blank," and continued to participate in filming with a stiff demeanor. When Yu Jae-seok suggested an acting challenge, Jung Jun-won could not say anything and only moved his lips, and even when Heo Kyunghwan demonstrated, he ultimately could not open his mouth and closed his eyes. Seeing this, Haha, unable to contain his frustration, stood up and made a gesture of throwing his hat, which drew laughter, and eventually Kong Hyojin, unable to bear it, performed the acting challenge in his place, bringing the situation to a close.
However, some viewers who watched the broadcast criticized Jung Jun-won's attitude for appearing on variety shows to promote a project but failing to perform even the acting that is his main profession. Even if one is introverted, after being given several chances, his passive and uncooperative behavior of doing nothing drew protests such as "Stop claiming you're introverted" and "How do you act?" In response, Haha, who was at the scene, explained in a video comment, "He was so lovable and cute and funny. It was a reaction meant to make it entertaining," and added, "For someone's first variety show, Hangout With Yoo is truly difficult. He's not a professional variety performer, so please view him kindly and just enjoy the show." Kong Hyojin also intervened, posting about Jung Jun-won's appearance on Hangout With Yoo, "This man actually vomited after recording," and apologizing, "I'm sorry I couldn't save him."
