The unfortunate story of singer Park Seo-jin attempting a shocking choice in the past has been revealed.

On the KBS 2TV ‘Men Who Do Housework Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Men Who Do Housework’) airing on the 30th (Sat), Park Seo-jin‘s parents make a surprise visit to the Incheon house where the siblings are living and they have a happy reunion after a long time. The mother, who sent Hyo-jung to Incheon about 9 months ago with the request to take good care of her older brother Seo-jin, starts nagging at the siblings who are making do with ramen for meals and the empty refrigerator, and Hyo-jung is flustered by the barrage of nagging. However, the father, who is visiting his son Seo-jin’s house for the first time, is amazed by the new bidet and the unfamiliar white tanning machine and laughs.

His father, who came up to Seoul to attend a friend‘s funeral, couldn’t sleep easily that night, perhaps because of the aftereffects of the funeral, and after wandering around, he gets lost in thought while looking at an old album that contained traces of Seo-jin‘s hardships over the years. Seeing his father’s distraught appearance, Park Seo-jin becomes worried and goes for a walk in the park with him.

During the walk, Park Seo-jin‘s father says, “As I turned the pages of the album, I realized that you had a very hard time,” expressing his apologies. He then says, “My friend’s son must have been upset because he treated you wrongly, so he told me to accept whatever his sons give me. From now on, I‘ll live the way you say. That way, when I die, you’ll feel better,” and shows a sudden change in his attitude after attending the funeral, causing concern. Finally, the father declares that he will not even get on the boat that he knew Park Seo-jin hated but could never give up.

Seo-jin, worried about her father‘s sudden listlessness and depression, goes to receive psychodrama counseling with her entire family the next day. Before the full-scale counseling, when the counselor asks about his concerns, Park Seo-jin’s father surprises everyone by saying, “Seo-jin took medicine before when things didn‘t go well. I’m always anxious and worried that something difficult might happen to my son again,” hinting at his past extreme choice.

Park Seo-jin‘s father vividly recalls the nightmare-like situation that day and says, “I took Seo-jin to the hospital at that time. I was afraid that I would lose Seo-jin after my two sons who passed away first,” and confesses his inner feelings. He also tells the story of how Park Seo-jin had a hard time in the past to the point of making an extreme choice, which makes viewers feel sorry for him.

The hidden pain of Park Seo-jin’s family will be revealed in ‘Mr. House Husband’.

Meanwhile, on the 28th, Park Seo-jin‘s agency, Tajo Entertainment, stated, “Park Seo-jin was exempted from military service in his early 20s due to mental illness.”.
