Park Gun, "Divorced father diagnosed with terminal cancer after living alone in goshiwon"

Trot singer Park Gun revealed his longing for his parents.

In the SBS entertainment show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter referred to as 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'), which aired on the 4th, Park Goon and Han Young's first self-portraits were revealed.

On this day, the two entered the house after finishing the interior design. Hyeonyoung said, “I had to work hard to get a lot of loans. It was difficult to live in two households.” Hanyoung continued, "Actually, the first person I want to take care of after moving is my parents. I thought about it since my mother and father aren't around. I thought it would have been great if my parents were alive to come," and said, "It would be great if my parents were alive." He said he wanted to feel like he was being treated like a treat.

In response, Park said, "A few weeks before the wedding, I got a call saying that my father was unwell. He passed away a few days after the wedding. My parents divorced when I was 7, and when I was 5, I vaguely remember putting me on a summer blanket in a single room and playing with him." “I only remember that scene,” he said.

Park continued, “When I was almost 30, I got a call from a public phone and I answered it and it was my dad. I asked if he had a cell phone and he said he didn't. “I got a call from a public phone and he seemed to be having a hard time, so I asked him to live with me and come up to Chungcheong Province, but he said he would understand but didn’t call me,” he recalled.

The last contact was from a government office. Park said, "Two weeks before the wedding, I received a call from the government office that my father was in critical condition. It turned out that he had been living alone in a gosiwon. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but I was afraid of losing money so I just endured it without surgery."

Park said, “I am so grateful to the public official who contacted me in that way,” and added, “I continued to talk on the phone with the caregiver. The caregiver said she knew who I was and showed me all the videos. My dad said he didn’t know I was on TV or that I became a singer. “They really liked it because I kept showing it to them,” he said. Han Young also expressed gratitude, saying, “I was able to see my father several times before he finally left.”
