John Park's highest educational level was revealed to be a high school diploma.
On the 4th, the YouTube channel ‘Fathernus’ said, ‘R&B singer vs. F&B expert! A talk show that provokes you until you start shouting in a low-pitched voice | A video called ‘Ttakdae EP12 John Park’ was posted.
John Park announced that he recently released a new song, ‘VISTA’. John Park briefly played the song, saying, “I have a 2nd full-length album coming out, and I released a pre-release single called ‘Vista.’” Sammoon (Moon Sang-hoon) praised, "The voice and song are really good. I don't know much about it, but the sound has a sophisticated feel." He then praised, "I think it would be worthy of being listed as a vocal legend that Korea is proud of." At the same time, he said, “I think we should add Kim Na-bak (Kim Beom-soo, Naul, Park Hyo-shin, and Lee Soo),” and added, “Kim Jonna-bak.” John Park looked somewhat embarrassed.
Sammoon introduced that the keyword that is essential when talking about John is ‘Eomchina’. John Park was embarrassed and said, “That’s too much praise.” Sammoon praised him, saying, “He is famous for being humble compared to what he has.”
Sammoon introduced an article about John Park's statement, 'I'm not cool.' John Park said that he is not a very cool person, but rather a person who loves music. John Park explained, “I didn’t mean to be humble, but I just told you what I thought at the time.”
When Sammoon incorrectly introduced John Park as the winner of 'Superstar K', John Park corrected him by saying, "It wasn't the winner, I was the runner-up. I took second place. At that time, Huh Gak won and I took second place." He continued, "Second place is not bad. There were 1.3 million applicants at the time. If you came in second place, you were in the top 0.0001%."
Sammoon introduced John Park as “a graduate of Northwestern University, a prestigious global university ranked 11th in the world.” John Park corrected himself by saying, “It is true that I was admitted to Northwestern University, but I am not a graduate. I dropped out after my second year.” He then confessed, "I debuted as a student and started pursuing a career as a singer, so I ended up dropping out. I couldn't graduate. If you look at it, I'm just a high school graduate." In response, Sammoon raised a question, saying, “Is this really true?” John Park said, “I was admitted based on my abilities and studied well in high school, so I was admitted to a great place.”
