Park Seo-jin Urges Father to Quit Smoking for Health Reasons
On the recent episode of KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband 2,' Park Seo-jin passionately urged his father to quit smoking due to health concerns.

The episode, aired on the 18th, showcased the journey of Park Seo-jin's father, a smoker for 50 years, as he attempted to quit smoking. Park Seo-jin emphasized the importance of quitting smoking for his father, who has a history of myocardial infarction and requires careful health management. Despite declaring a New Year's resolution to quit smoking, his father continued to smoke, causing concern among the family. Having undergone stent surgery due to a heart attack, quitting smoking was essential for his father's health. However, his father insisted, "I'll quit smoking slowly," unable to let go of the habit.

Park Seo-jin strongly advised, "You need to quit immediately." His father, who started smoking at 24, lamented, "Suddenly quitting smoking is like asking me to die. Withdrawal symptoms will come."

Park Seo-jin's mother shared, "He smokes when something upsetting happens at work." Despite understanding his father's situation, Park Seo-jin insisted, "Don't make excuses for him. Why don't you stop him, mom?" His mother expressed her frustration, saying, "Should I put a leash on him like a dog?"

After smoking, his father returned home, and his mother, who could smell the smoke, remarked, "You smoked two cigarettes."

Park Seo-jin suggested a lung capacity test. While his father managed to keep two out of three balls afloat, Park Seo-jin only succeeded with one. His sister, Park Hyo-jin, teased him, "Isn't it because your nose is blocked with silicone?"

The Park siblings conducted an impromptu search of the house and discovered numerous cigarettes in their father's and brother's rooms. Shocked by the amount, Park Seo-jin emphasized, "I didn't know you smoked up to two packs a day. You must quit smoking." Their mother defended the second brother, saying, "He doesn't have a girlfriend and feels empty," but Park Seo-jin firmly stated, "You need to quit smoking to get a girlfriend."

Park Seo-jin's insistence on his father quitting smoking stems from his concern for his father's health, as his father often experiences hypoglycemia. Park Seo-jin pressured his father, saying, "Promise to quit smoking, or I'll pull out all your remaining hair." Eventually, his father proposed, "If I quit smoking, each of you three siblings should give me 500,000 won a month, totaling 1.5 million won. It has to be worth it for me too." Park Seo-jin agreed, setting the condition, "Then it's 100,000 won for each cigarette you smoke."

Last year, Park Seo-jin was embroiled in a controversy over false claims regarding his military exemption. He won the Rookie Award at the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards.' After receiving the award, Park Seo-jin made a video call to his parents, tearfully expressing, "Only good things will happen, so don't worry. Let's be happy. Thank you for bringing me into this world."
