Park Jin-young‘s live broadcast after military service, still in idol form “Working hard as an actor and singer” [Comprehensive]
Actor Park Jin-young, formerly of GOT7, spent a meaningful time with fans through a live performance to commemorate his discharge.
Park Jin-young, who was discharged from the army on the 7th, held a live performance through his agency BH Entertainment’s YouTube channel at 7 PM that day.
He said, “I wasn‘t that nervous before coming here, but I really got nervous when I saw the cameras and the space set up. He said, ”I can’t really believe I‘m being discharged,“ and ”Even after I enlisted, I didn’t really know I was doing military service, but after about two months, I realized, ‘I’m doing military service cut off from society. ‘ I thought about posting updates on SNS, but I wanted to show you a better side of myself in a year and a half, so I didn’t communicate much. I‘ll do things I haven’t done in a year and a half often, so please look forward to it.“
Park Jin-young said about his recent activities, ”I had grilled beef with my parents for lunch today as soon as I was discharged. I enjoyed watching ‘The Black and White Chef’ during my vacation,“ and ”In addition to training in the military, they created many conditions for soldiers to study. I had fun doing things I could do and studying things I hadn‘t been able to do before. I felt the preciousness of letters from my fans and looked back on my original intentions.“ He added, ”I served my military service happily and healthily. It was hard, but I think it will remain as a warm and happy memory.”
Park Jin-young also said, “It was so cold this morning, and Gangwon-do was even colder. Still, I was grateful that GOT7 members BamBam and Yugyeom came. When I heard that the fans waited for me from dawn in the bitter cold, I felt so grateful but also sorry. I will repay that gratitude with good activities, music, and works in the future.”
Park Jin-young also shared a review of the Ground Forces Festival in October of last year. He said, “At first, I didn’t know that the fans would come. Since I was a ‘slave to the vacation,’ I went because they said they would give me a vacation. But when I saw the fans standing there holding the Aga Bong (the official fandom baton), I danced hard. I felt proud for the first time in a long time. I felt that I had to satisfy my fans. The members asked, ‘Why are you working harder than at a concert?’ ‘You’ll know when you go there, too.’ He said. I said a hundred words to Yugyeom today,”and acted coquettishly.
Park Jin-young then answered fans‘ questions, and continued with decorating keychains, a ‘meme’ quiz, and the overdue challenge. There was also capture time and cake certification time.
Park Jin-young finished his discharge live and said, “I have a lot of time in the future, so I will share memories of the past year and a half while talking one by one.” He added, “Thank you to the fans who came a long way since morning, the fans who waited for me, watched me, and watched me through YouTube Live. Thanks to you, I think my future will be filled with happiness. Thank you. I am preparing to show you my hard work as an actor and a singer, so please look forward to it.”
