Park Seo-jin Expresses Heartbreak Over Father's Health Scare: 'I Don't Even Want to Sing'

Trot singer Park Seo-jin couldn't hide his profound sorrow upon hearing the news of his father's sudden health emergency.

In the episode of KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband Season 2' aired on the 22nd, Park Seo-jin was depicted as being overwhelmed by shock and guilt after learning about his father's cerebrovascular issue belatedly.

While always showcasing his filial piety with a bright demeanor for his fans on stage, Park Seo-jin confessed his raw feelings, stating, "I don't even want to sing," due to the guilt of not being able to be by his father's side at such a critical moment.

His father was diagnosed with a blocked cerebral blood vessel, a dangerous situation described as carrying a "ticking time bomb inside his brain." Due to a performance schedule in Japan, Park Seo-jin received the news later than others. While understanding his family's intentions, he couldn't conceal his disappointment.

He felt a mix of resentment and sadness towards his younger sibling, Hyojung, especially since his father's check-up date coincided with his overseas performance, making it impossible to adjust his schedule beforehand. Park Seo-jin had always vowed to take good care of his family upon achieving success, but the reality of not being able to be present during such a crucial time felt particularly harsh.

When his late brothers were mentioned, Park Seo-jin, upon hearing his father say, "I'm not as sick as your brothers were," blurted out his desire to stop singing. However, he soon conveyed his sincere apology, "I'm sorry I couldn't be with you at the hospital," and swallowed tears amidst his complex emotions.

As Park Seo-jin has consistently shared his family stories through 'Mr. House Husband,' this episode resonated deeply with viewers. The sight of the son, whose heart grew heavier by his father's words – "Singing on stage is my way of filial piety to you, Dad" – even amidst his father's health crisis, touched many.

Netizens watching the broadcast sent supportive messages, commenting, 'My heart aches for him,' 'Family is the most important thing. I hope he recovers quickly,' and 'Seo-jin, stay strong!'
