Park Seo-jin revealed his feelings about the controversy over military exemption through ‘Mr. House Husband 2’.

Park Seo-jin, who won the Rookie of the Year award at the 2024 KBS Entertainment Awards for his role in KBS2‘s ‘Mr. House Husband Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Mr. House Husband’), continued his activities in the new year. In the ‘Mr. House Husband’ that aired on the 4th, the warm daily life of Park Seo-jin and the Samcheonpo family was portrayed, providing comfort to viewers.

Park Seo-jin went to Samcheonpo to visit his parents to welcome the new year. Park Seo-jin, who was thinking of his parents because of something hard, called them, and his parents, worried that their son might have bad thoughts again when they heard his gloomy-sounding voice, suggested that he come down to Samcheonpo.

The parents went to a lively auction house early in the morning for Park Seo-jin, who was feeling listless. Park Seo-jin, the son of Samcheonpo and the prince of the sea, filled the studio with admiration as he easily explained the auction house and classified the fish.

His father, watching his busy and competitive life at the auction house, encouraged Park Seo-jin in his own way, saying, “Everyone is living a life of bloodshed,” and comforted Park Seo-jin by saying, “Don’t be swayed by what others say, be strong and live diligently.”



Park Seo-jin, who was full of energy at the auction house, then reassured his parents by having his first meal in two days at a street food stall he had been going to since he was young. Even after returning home, the family’s efforts for Park Seo-jin continued. His younger sister Park Hyo-jung not only prepared food for her older brother, but also made everyone laugh by looking at Park Seo-jin’s graduation photo together. Park Seo-jin also acknowledged Park Hyo-jung’s ability to cover up his gloomy mood with irritation, and the relay of dad jokes that he continued with his father was also responsible for small amounts of fun.

Park Seo-jin revealed his feelings in an interview, saying, “Until now, I didn‘t feel hungry or want to eat. Even when I swallowed something, it felt like chewing sand. When I went back to my hometown, maybe because of the familiarity, I felt hungry again and ate it deliciously.”

The second oldest brother’s gentle consolation also resonated greatly. The second oldest brother, who called Park Seo-jin to the food stall, raised the temperature of the living room by saying that he learned through the broadcast the sincerity of Park Seo-jin, who revealed his wounds during the last psychotherapy, and by saying, “I can rely on you, hyung,” which was a great strength.

Park Seo-jin also gained strength from his brother‘s sincerity who gave him courage first, and then the whole family met at the food stall and shouted a toast, once again emphasizing the meaning of a family that is always together, whether happy or sad. The sight of the family members sincerely comforting and strengthening Park Seo-jin also had a great meaning to the viewers.

Park Seo-jin showed us the warm and cozy affection of a family through his first ‘House Husband’ to welcome the new year. Park Seo-jin, who led ‘Mr. House Husband’, taking charge of fun and emotion, is expected to continue his activities in 2025.

Meanwhile, KBS2‘Mr. House Husband’, starring Park Seo-jin, airs every Saturday at 9:20 p.m.
