Actor Park Jung-min's Unexpected Twist in Becoming Chungju's Ambassador

Actor Park Jung-min reveals an unexpected twist while discussing his potential role as Chungju's ambassador.

On October 3rd, the Chungju City YouTube channel uploaded a video titled 'Park Jung-min X Chungju Man Part 1.' In the video, Park Jung-min engages in a lively conversation with Kim Seon-tae, an official at Chungju City Hall.

Park Jung-min introduced himself as the 'son of Chungju,' mentioning that his father hails from the city. Hearing this, Chungju Man spontaneously proposed that Park become the 'Chungju City Ambassador,' even preparing to sign an MOU.

The conversation naturally shifted to the topic of age. Park Jung-min mentioned that he was born in the early part of the year, saying, "I'm an early '87, born in March," with a smile. However, Chungju Man humorously pointed out, "Isn't your birthday March 24th? That's clearly illegal," adding a playful jab.

Park Jung-min responded, "I started school early using my lunar birthday." To this, Chungju Man quipped, "Your parents must have paid a fine back then," leaving Park surprised, "A fine for just a month's difference?" Chungju Man continued the banter, "You were about to become Chungju's ambassador, but your past illegal act has been uncovered."

Meanwhile, Park Jung-min, who debuted in the 2011 film 'Bleak Night,' celebrates his 14th anniversary in the industry this year. Besides acting, he also runs a publishing company with a partner.
