Park Nam-jeong's second daughter, Park Si-woo, confessed her admiration and jealousy toward her older sister, Park Si-eun.
Singer Park Nam-jung and his second daughter Si-woo appeared as guests on Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center', which aired on the 3rd.
Park Nam-jung introduces the current status of her two daughters, revealing that her eldest daughter, Si-eun, is the main vocalist of the group Stay C, and her second daughter, Si-woo, is a five-time winner of college entrance exams in theater and film. Park Na-rae said, "I'm so jealous. It seems like you've done a good job raising your children. My eldest daughter, Stacey Si-eun, won 2 Golden Disc awards, and my second daughter achieved 5 college entrance exams." Park Si-woo said, "I thought grades were really important, so I combined them with practical exams. My overall grade was 1.5," and revealed that after being accepted to five universities, he finally decided to enter the Korean University of Arts.
The report was made through a video of the first daughter, Park Si-eun. Park Si-eun was worried that “Park Si-woo is pushing himself to the limit.” He then confessed, “Park Si-woo was so focused on entrance exams that he even completely excluded his need for sleep and appetite.” Park Nam-jung also said about Park Si-woo, "He was so obsessed with studying that he came home at dawn and in the morning. I didn't throw up at him because he was working so hard. There were times when he It seemed too harsh. I was the one to stop him. If he falls down and goes wrong, he gets angry." “I was worried about what might happen,” he said.
Park Si-woo shared an anecdote about how he studied hard while preparing for the entrance exam when he was a student at an arts high school. It was basic to study in a quiet locker room even during break times, and he pushed himself to the limit, such as studying in the reading room after finishing academy school and then taking the first train to school, or taking a nap on the subway before going to the last stop due to lack of sleep. Dr. Eunyoung Oh asked Siwoo Park why he studied so hard. Park Si-woo honestly confessed, “I became obsessed with being first because I was conscious of people's gaze.”
Regarding the reason why he was harsh on himself, Park Si-woo said, "I was so nervous during the first practical evaluation that I forgot all my lines. At that time, I was scolded by the teacher and embarrassed by my friends. When I took my first practical evaluation in high school, I wondered what my friends would think of me and how much they would laugh at me. "I thought I might have underestimated him. After that, I thought I should prevent something like this from happening again. “My thoughts changed.”
Dr. Eunyoung Oh mentioned 'motivation', which is 'the force that moves me', and explained that there is 'internal motivation' that comes from within and 'external motivation' that is influenced from the outside. Park Si-woo confessed that the label of 'Park Nam-jung's daughter' and the existence of an 'idol sister' were great external motivations. Park Si-woo said, "Everyone knows that I am my father's daughter, so I always secretly thought that I should do well and not embarrass my family, so I should work hard." She also confessed, "Seeing how my sister was hurt by the comment that she 'came on TV because of my dad's influence' at a young age, I thought I should debut on my own. I tried not to use the keyword 'Park Nam -jung's daughter.'"
Dr. Oh Eun-young, who had been listening closely, began to analyze Park Si-woo's inner self, asking why her older sister approached her with external motivation. Park Si-woo, who was thinking hard, answered that she wanted to be like her older sister, who did everything well, including her trainee life, filming dramas, and studying. Dr. Oh Eun-young analyzed that 'a standard is created by looking at the person you want to be like' and mentioned the 'Cain complex', a jealous psychology that occurs instinctively between brothers and sisters, and delved into whether there was any jealousy in one's heart towards the older sister. Siwoo, who hesitated, carefully confessed, "I was jealous that my parents' attention and concerns were focused on my older sister, who started her career in the entertainment industry first." Dr. Eunyoung Oh warned that “if you are overly conscious of the gaze of others, you may become anxious,” and advised, “It is important to find your own internal motivation.”
At the counseling center on this day, the concerns of the two daughters, who said, “Dad is too polarizing,” were also revealed. Park Si-eun said, “As my dad got older, he nagged me more.” Park Si-woo also surprised everyone by saying that his father actually followed him when he went on a trip with his friends.
Park Nam-jeong said, "My family philosophy is that I wanted my home to be a paradise for children. If I want, I can bring alcohol to the house, and to put it bluntly, I think I am the children's servant. I I can't even see them carrying small bags. Even when getting in the car, I have to open the door. "I'm embarrassed, but I tend to be lazy. But strangely enough, if the kids make a promise, they jump up without me even realizing it," he said. Park Nam-jeong says he has never made a loud noise to his daughters. Dr. Oh Eun-young noticed that Park Nam -jeong was on standby for his children 24 hours a day, aka 'spring dad', and pointed out that Park Nam-jeong, who runs to his daughters unconditionally when they are in a difficult situation, lacks 'authority' as a parent.
