Park Soo-hong Celebrates Daughter's Earnings and Birthday Surprise

Park Soo-hong proudly shared about his 11-month-old daughter's earnings.

On October 31, the YouTube channel 'Park Soo-hong's Happy Dahong' released a video titled 'Gave My Wife a Day Off... 7-Course Meal!? Dad and Jae-i's Day at the Han River Festival - Family Vlog with a 12-Month-Old'.

In the video, Park Soo-hong gave his wife, Kim Da-ye, some free time, saying, "Today, mom gets to rest. It's her birthday, so dad and Jae-i are going on a date." Grateful, Kim Da-ye responded, and Park Soo-hong smiled, saying, "I love you. Thank you. We need days like this."

However, Park Soo-hong found himself at a fall-themed event instead of the lively festival he had imagined. As a classical performance began, he expressed his surprise, "Oops, this is too nice but doesn't suit me. I wanted to move to the beat. I miss mom. I feel a bit forlorn, even though I wasn't kicked out of the house."

Deciding to leave the festival, Park Soo-hong and Jae-i enjoyed a day by the Han River, watching the Banpo Bridge fountain show and exploring food trucks. When Jae-i wanted a keychain, Park Soo-hong proudly noted, "She can pay for it herself since she has her own income." Jae-i had appeared in commercials at just 9 months old and has done about 15 ads this year.

Returning home, Park Soo-hong was touched by the surprise birthday meal Kim Da-ye had prepared, including abalone seaweed soup, bulgogi, and japchae. While father and daughter were out, Kim Da-ye secretly prepared the traditional Korean birthday feast.

Kim Da-ye shared, "Since we were dating, he mentioned he never had seaweed soup on his birthday. I decided to make it for him every year. I hope he feels touched."

Park Soo-hong expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much. It's a feast. Let's stay healthy and live long." Kim Da-ye also noted that their pet cat, Dahong, shares the same birthday as Park Soo-hong, calling it "fate."

Park Soo-hong married Kim Da-ye, who is 23 years his junior, in 2021, and they have a daughter named Jae-i.

Since 2021, Park Soo-hong has been in a legal battle with his older brother and sister-in-law, who are accused of embezzling over 6.1 billion won from his management and personal funds over a decade. Park Soo-hong has since cut ties with his parents, who sided with his brother.
