"I think it's known that I'm not good at singing."
Is he an objectively humble winner? Or an extremely modest winner? This refers to trot singer Park Seo-jin (30). The conclusion is that he is good at both singing and playing the janggu.
An interview with MBN competition program 'Current King of Singers 2' winner Park Seo-jin was conducted. The interview was scheduled for three sessions, and the press was expected to be bustling to see Park Seo-jin. However, the day before the interview was to be made public, it was understood that many media outlets had to urgently cancel the interview schedule due to unavoidable circumstances related to the event.
Contrary to expectations, only four media outlets attended the first session of the Park Seo-jin interview. It was somewhat a modest appearance, considering the interest in the competition program winner, but the atmosphere was by no means that way. From the moment he entered the interview room, Park Seo-jin's humility and caution were evident.
As he quietly approached the waiting reporters, he asked, "Is it okay if I come in?" and greeted them in a neat suit. The aura of a crown was overshadowed by the face of a pure young man.
Although he won, he still had the atmosphere of a newcomer, and one could clearly feel what kind of mindset he has as an artist.
“I do this work not to make money, but simply because I love singing and enjoy singing on stage.” His unique values revealed a Park Seo-jin who is more 'human' and 'full of humanity' than the title of 'Current King of Singers' winner.
In particular, Park Seo-jin described his fans as 'life-like beings' and 'air-like beings,' which may sound somewhat cliché. It seemed like a genuine expression of his inner feelings. “I think I am here because of my fans, and they like me because they understand our various life stories.” He described himself as introverted, but his honesty overflowed.
When the topic shifted to family, the Park Seo-jin we had seen on 'The Housemates 2' emerged. Park Seo-jin is currently appearing on the KBS2 entertainment program 'The Housemates 2.' Here, he often shows his real-life chemistry with his parents and younger sibling. He is frequently seen worrying about and urging his family's future.
When asked if he had said anything to his family (parents) after winning, Park Seo-jin hesitated for a moment and shyly replied, “I didn’t say anything...” Perhaps it was because of his concern for his family at that moment. He drew attention with a thoughtful expression.
As soon as he finished answering the next question, Park Seo-jin eagerly shared what he wanted to say to his parents. He said, “I think I have been too hard on my family. Let’s live healthily for a long time, okay?” showing his affection.
After the interview ended, Park Seo-jin personally thanked each reporter, expressing his gratitude. Some reporters wondered if Park Seo-jin had become more comfortable, as they requested a short video to convey to his family, who are his fans. In response, he showed a more proactive attitude and beamed a bright smile.
On this day, rather than the glamour of a competition winner, one could sense the 'human touch' of a 'local guy who plays the janggu and sings well.' After hearing his story, it was hard for this reporter to shake off the feeling of becoming a fan. Today's viewing content is expected to be filled with Park Seo-jin.
