Park Seo-jin shed tears after successfully completing a surprise busking.
On the afternoon of the 29th, KBS2's 'Salim Nam Season 2' (hereafter 'Salim Nam') featured Park Seo-jin and Ji Sang-ryeol.
On this broadcast, trot singer Park Seo-jin appeared as the first Salim Nam. To fulfill the viewership promise of busking, he headed to the recording studio with support from Song Min-jun and Choi Soo-ho following the previous broadcast.
Song Min-jun suggested, "How about doing a short live promotion? Announce when and where you will be busking and ask people to come," and the three began a live broadcast, where fans expressed their disappointment saying, "It's snowing heavily today..." and "It's cold."
After discussing which song to sing, they decided on 'Next Door Oppa' and started practicing the dance. Seo-jin practiced his lines, saying, "'Salim Nam' achieved a 7% viewership rating, so we are going to perform guerrilla-style."
As Hyo-jung, who was playing the role of an audience member, sat in the living room, the three began serious dance practice. When Hyo-jung laughed and said, "It feels like there are wooden sticks standing behind us," Song Min-jun awkwardly replied, "What do you mean?"
After some ups and downs, they synchronized their dance, and when Hyo-jung kept laughing, Seo-jin called her forward, saying, "You do it! You're laughing because it's funny." Despite it being her first attempt, when Hyo-jung immediately copied the dance, Seo-jin was left speechless, saying, "That's annoying."
He then expressed his frustration, saying, "Aren't you busy? Weren't you shy earlier? My motivation to practice has completely disappeared," and eventually, Choi Soo-ho comforted him, saying, "No, you're doing well too," helping him regain his composure.
The three then headed to the busking location. Choi Soo-ho persistently asked, "But didn't you go camping with Yoyomi and Ji-yoon? Was it good?" and Seo-jin vaguely replied, "It was nice to heal after a long time."
Choi Soo-ho asked again, "How is Ji-yoon?" and Seo-jin replied, "It's fine. We support each other, not dating. We're friends." When asked if she was close to his ideal type, Seo-jin appeared deep in thought without saying anything.
When Eun Ji-won asked, "Are Yoyomi and Ji-yoon not coming anymore?" Seo-jin replied, "Not even in my dreams. Open up, VCR," avoiding the question.
Upon arriving at the busking location, Seo-jin called Hyo-jung while waiting in the car. Hyo-jung asked, "Did you arrive well? Are there many people?" but Seo-jin expressed his concern, saying, "I'm worried that I might have made it too big."
Choi Soo-ho and Song Min-jun, who checked the busking location first, were surprised, saying, "Wow, more people than expected? At least 500!" When Song Min-jun took the stage, he said, "Aren't you cold, everyone? You came since 4 PM? I'm really sorry on this cold day. Seo-jin is waiting in the car. But you can hear him from here. Seo-jin is worried that not many people would come~ We're going to surprise him," planning an event.
He added, "When Seo-jin arrives, you must not make any noise or respond. Because Seo-jin will come with his eyes closed," practicing the event.
Later, the two approached Seo-jin and said, "Should we put on a blindfold and headphones first? It's up to your imagination, but... should we wear them for fun?" preparing for the event.
At that moment, Seo-jin appeared with Choi Soo-ho and Song Min-jun, and as expected, the audience remained quiet. When the surroundings were silent, Seo-jin expressed his concern, saying, "It seems like not many people came?" and revealed his true feelings, "Oh, I guess there really aren't many people. I lowered my expectations."
After being told to take off the blindfold, Seo-jin was moved by the cheers and the sea of yellow, saying, "Wow... so many people came," and shed tears.
He said, "As I get older, I cry just from the cold wind. Hello, I'm Park Seo-jin! Amazing... how did you all deceive me so perfectly?" wiping his tears repeatedly. After that, Park Seo-jin expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for coming despite the cold weather."
After the greeting, Seo-jin took off his coat and passionately sang 'Gangwon Arirang,' stating in an interview, "I need to perform more passionately today."
Next, Choi Soo-ho took the stage. He said, "It feels affectionate to be with fans in this cold weather," showcasing an enthusiastic performance, and Song Min-jun also expressed, "I felt like I was living the same pattern, but breaking away and receiving energy," presenting a stage for the fans.
Finally, the three performed 'Next Door Oppa,' which they practiced at home. Seo-jin shared in an interview, "Overall, it felt like reflecting on myself today. So I think today's stage will remain in my memory for a lifetime."
As the second Salim Nam, Ji Sang-ryeol appeared. Ji Sang-ryeol said, "Soo-nyo Park didn't mention introducing people, but I got a call. And Hwang Bo also contacted me, and No Sa-yeon did too, and Shim Eun-jin also reached out. I'll just tell them to come here," revealing that he received a blind date proposal.
A few days later, Baby Vox's Shim Eun-jin visited Ji Sang-ryeol's house. Sang-ryeol explained, "We became close after filming for YouTube, and I called her to prove that I received a blind date proposal."
Shim Eun-jin said, "I mentioned it two years ago... but that person already has a boyfriend. So I invited one more person!" making Ji Sang-ryeol curious.
When the doorbell rang, Shin Ji appeared, and Ji Sang-ryeol awkwardly said, "I should close the door." When Shin Ji directly asked, "Can you marry me? Can you hold my hand and kiss me?" Ji Sang-ryeol was left speechless, saying, "Huh?"
Shim Eun-jin asked, "Have you ever thought of each other as potential partners?" and Ji Sang-ryeol honestly replied, "I used to think she was a nice girl." Shin Ji also asked, "You used to think I was pretty. Do you have the intention to marry? To catch a star, you have to look at the sky," she inquired.
Ji Sang-ryeol's sister-in-law asked, "What do you think of Ji Sang-ryeol as a husband candidate?" supporting Sang-ryeol. Shin Ji replied, "I don't like someone who's dull. I prefer someone who reacts, but you just listen. Can you kiss me?" When Shim Eun-jin, unable to hold back, asked, "Your wife wants physical affection. Will you not do it?" Sang-ryeol replied, "Let's set a number of times..." shocking everyone.
Shin Ji said, "There's an 11-year age difference? It's not a complete generation gap? My mom picked you as the number one husband candidate in a program before. That feeling hasn't changed," making Ji Sang-ryeol happy with her bombshell confession.
Ji Sang-ryeol expressed concern at Shim Eun-jin's comment, "I'm also in the middle of testing. I can say for sure that things don't go as you want. You should get a sperm test." When Shin Ji flirted, saying, "Yeah, oppa. Let's get tested," Ji Sang-ryeol excitedly responded, "Are you asking me to go with you? You just confused me!" While watching the VCR, Baek Ji-young also sided with Ji Sang-ryeol, saying, "Yeah, Shin Ji. You said 'let's get tested,' right?"
The sister-in-law remarked, "How perfectly Shin Ji is wearing the same color as me," trying to connect Shin Ji and Ji Sang-ryeol until the end.
‘Salim Nam’ airs every Saturday at 9:15 PM.
