Singer Park Seo-jin candidly shared memories of his challenging early career.
On the October 12th episode of KBS 2TV's 'Mr. House Husband Season 2', Park Seo-jin's sister, Park Hyo-jung, took on the role of his manager to support her brother who had injured his leg.
During the episode, Park Seo-jin had a heartfelt conversation with his sister while traveling by car. He revealed, "I didn't have a car, so I carried clothes and makeup tools in a bag and traveled by bus. Without a waiting room, I had to endure in the restroom."
He reminisced, "While other singers wore clothes worth hundreds of thousands of won, I bought a 20,000 won jacket online and added glitter from the market by ironing it on myself."
Park Seo-jin confessed to having a fear of phone calls, saying, "When I had no stage opportunities, I had to promote myself. I would see event banners and call them, pleading, 'You don't have to pay me, just please give me a stage,' after contemplating for hours."
His sister, Hyo-jung, also commented, "There were many challenges to get to this point. It's because of those times that we are here today."
Park Seo-jin continues to pursue his dreams with passion, stating, "There are still many singers who want to perform. Like them, I must give my all to every stage."
