Actor Park Young-kyu shocks those around him with a dramatic change.
In the KBS2 program ‘Salim Nam Season 2’ airing on the 30th, Park Young-kyu shows an unexpected side that worries his 25-year-younger wife.
Previously known for his cheerful and unrestrained demeanor, Park Young-kyu is seen in a subdued atmosphere, struggling to sleep at night. The studio cast cannot hide their confusion at his unfamiliar behavior, asking, “What on earth is going on?” However, behind this lies a deep sense of guilt over the loss of his only son in an unfortunate traffic accident, hinting at a twist.
Noticing her husband's unusual symptoms, Park Young-kyu's wife recalls the time he shed tears at their daughter’s elementary school graduation ceremony, which he had attended after having her through a fourth marriage. She shares that “my husband has never attended the entrance or graduation ceremonies of our son who has passed away,” conveying the mix of regret and pain that led to Park Young-kyu's tears.
The wife plans a surprise with their daughter, and the three head to the tree burial site where their son rests. Upon arriving at the burial site, Park Young-kyu exclaims, “I miss you... I miss you so much,” and ultimately breaks down in tears. It is said that the scene turned into a sea of tears at the heart-wrenching confession of a father who has lost his child. MC Baek Ji-young, who witnessed this, also remarked, “I cannot fathom the heart of a parent who has lost a child,” unable to continue speaking. The painful story that Park Young-kyu has carried for 21 years will be revealed in the broadcast.
‘Salim Nam’ will air on the 30th at 10:20 PM.
