Park Hang-seo reveals Hanoi's highest-end penthouse
Director Park Hang-seo appeared as a master on SBS' All The Butlers, which aired on the 26th.
Yang Se-hyung, Kim Dong-hyun, Eun Ji-won, Lee Dae-ho, and BamBam headed to the master's house in a luxury car sent by the master, who is called the 'icon of free passes' in Vietnam. The master who invited the members to Vietnam was Park Hang-seo, the former coach of the Vietnam national soccer team, who is called ‘Vietnam’s national hero’ and ‘Saldink’.
Park Hang-seo was living in a towering apartment in the center of Hanoi. Park Hang-seo was living in a 40-story high-end penthouse, not the Vietnamese state residence that was revealed five years ago when he appeared on 'The Butler'. It was an impressive house with a high ceiling and a spacious dining room next to the living room. On the high wall were various commendations and medals that gave a glimpse of Park Hang-seo's achievements. The members who were looking at Park Hang-seo's house were constantly impressed by the view of Hanoi from the 40th floor terrace. Yang Se-hyung said, “This is the best terrace view I’ve ever seen.”
Park Hang-seo laughed, saying, “I used to live in an official residence, but I bought this house. The important thing is that house prices have risen a lot.” BamBam and Doyoung laughed, saying, “What will we do with this house (when we leave Vietnam)? Can you please lend it to us?” Park Hang-seo said, “I don’t know much because my wife takes care of it.”
Park Hang-seo confessed that he and his wife were kidnapped at the airport. He said, "I took a 4-day, 3-night vacation on Vietnam's Independence Day and went on a trip to Cambodia with my wife. I arrived at the airport at 11 p.m. and got off, but there was no taxi. It was raining a little, and as I was looking around, a young friend kept waving his hand. “I asked if it was a taxi and he told me to take a taxi,” he recalled. He continued, "It was strange from the sound of the music," and "I know the way to my house, right? I was supposed to take a four-lane road from the airport, but it suddenly turned into a mountain road on the right. When I asked where it was going, it said it was going to the office. Even when I told it to stop, it kept running on the dirt road. At that moment, I wondered what was going on. “I couldn’t even figure out if it was happening,” he said.
Park Hang-seo said, "I went about 100 meters and stopped the car in an empty lot. There were more than 10 people sitting under a dark green light. When I asked what this was, they told me to get out and said it was an office. Then, they brought a document and asked me to sign it. When I didn't sign it, they threatened me. “So I opened the car door and came out,” he said. He continued, "The group all looked at me and said, 'Oh, Park Hang-seo, Mr. Park.' A guy who looked like a captain came and started talking to the guy who was driving. Then he told me to go right away. I felt like the captain was like, 'Why did you drag Park Hang-seo?' “It seemed like that. I still feel traumatized when I go to the airport because of this incident,” he confessed.
