‘Current King of Singers 2’ Park Seo-jin announced that he would donate the prize money of 100 million won.

On the afternoon of the 12th, a press conference for the MBN survival entertainment program ‘Current King of Singers 2’ was held at the international conference room on the 3rd floor of the Nurikum Square Business Tower in Mapo-gu, Seoul. TOP7 Park Seo-jin, Jin Hae-sung, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Choi Su-ho, and Kang Moon-kyung attended the press conference that day.

After taking first place on ‘Current King of Singers 2’ that day, Park Seo-jin talked about the behind-the-scenes story, “After I was announced as the ‘Current King of Singers 2’ champion, I got off the stage and had a video call with my parents. They said that they gave me rice cakes the next day. When I showed them the champion belt, they said the scary words, ‘Seeing you really succeed, I have no regrets even if I die.’ So I hope I can create more stages that will make my parents happy,” he said.

Park Seo-jin also said regarding the use of the 100 million won prize money, “I plan to donate the remaining amount after deducting taxes. There was controversy over fairness, and there was controversy, but since I was chosen, I thought about how I could return the love and thought that donating was the right thing to do. And I plan to buy the remaining amount of beef for the members,” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, ‘Current King of Singers 2’ is a survival entertainment show that selected the top 7 national representatives (Park Seo-jin, Jin Hae-seong, Enoch, Shin Seung-tae, Kim Jun-su, Choi Su-ho, and Kang Moon-kyung) who will advance to the 2025 ‘Korea-Japan King of Singers’. The show ended successfully on Tuesday, February 25, producing the top 7 national representatives, including the second current king of singers, Park Seo-jin.
