Park Seo-jin is taken aback by his father's sudden emotional changes and conducts family psychological counseling due to concerns about his parents' depression.
In the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV's ‘Salim Nam Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Salim Nam’), Park Seo-jin's unfortunate past, including a previous attempt at an extreme choice, will be revealed, shocking viewers.
On this day, Park Seo-jin's parents make a surprise visit to the house in Incheon where the siblings live, leading to a long-awaited reunion. About nine months ago, their mother sent Hyun-jung to Incheon with a request to take good care of her brother Seo-jin. Upon seeing the siblings surviving on instant noodles and the empty refrigerator, she begins to nag them, leaving Hyun-jung flustered by the barrage of complaints. Meanwhile, the father, visiting his son Seo-jin's house for the first time, is amused by the modern bidet and unfamiliar white tanning machine.
On the other hand, the father, who came to Seoul to attend a friend's funeral, struggles to sleep that night, possibly due to the aftermath of the funeral. He finds himself lost in thought while looking through an old album that contains traces of the hardships Seo-jin has endured over the years. Concerned by her father's troubled demeanor, Park Seo-jin suggests they take a walk in the park together.
During the walk, Park Seo-jin's father expresses his regret, saying, “As I flipped through the album, I realized you have gone through so much hardship.” He continues, “A friend's son told me to accept everything my sons do for me, as he feels regret for not treating his father well. From now on, I will live as you tell me to. That way, when I die, you will feel at ease,” showing a sudden change after attending the funeral, which raises concerns.
Worried about her father's sudden lethargy and depression, Seo-jin immediately takes the whole family for psychological counseling the next day. Before the counseling begins, when the counselor asks about their concerns, Park Seo-jin's father reveals, “Seo-jin once had to take medication because things weren't going well for him. I am always anxious and worried that he might face difficulties again,” hinting at his past extreme choice, shocking everyone.
Park Seo-jin's father vividly recalls that nightmarish day, saying, “At that time, I took Seo-jin to the hospital. I was afraid of losing Seo-jin after already losing two sons,” sharing his innermost feelings and evoking sympathy for the hardships Park Seo-jin faced that led to his extreme choice.
What hidden pain might Park Seo-jin's family be harboring? The painful past of Park Seo-jin's family, which has shocked everyone, will be revealed on the night of the 30th on KBS 2TV's ‘Salim Nam’.
