Park Seo Joon owes Kim Soo Hyun

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

Park Seo Joon once again shared about Kim Soo Hyun's important help to his career.

On October 13, Korean actor Park Seo Joon appeared on singer Jung Jae Hyung's talk show.

During the conversation, Jung Jae Hyung asked Park Seo Joon: "Why did you enlist so early?". It is known that the star born in 1988 completed his military service at the age of 22, before he debuted as an actor. In the Korean entertainment industry, very few artists enlist so early.

Park Seo Joon honestly replied: "At that time, I had nothing, I had no relationships, and I was probably the unlucky one in that regard."

Recalling the time when he was preparing for his debut, Park Seo Joon confided to Jung Jae Hyung: “It was really difficult, because I had to run away. But I didn't know if I could be an actor. I was so confused, to the point where I didn't know what to do, so I decided to solve the problem first by enlisting in the army."

At that time, Park Seo Joon kept auditioning but failed. In the program “You Quiz On The Block” at the end of last year, Park Seo Joon shared that he received a lot of criticism about his appearance. Some people even advised him to get plastic surgery if he wanted to become an actor.

After being discharged from the army, Park Seo Joon's path to becoming an actor was still very thorny. But he unexpectedly received help from Kim Soo Hyun, which completely changed his life.

“After I was discharged from the army, a very close friend of Kim Soo Hyun introduced me to Soo Hyun's management company - KeyEast Entertainment. Kim Soo Hyun was very willing to help and make connections for me. When I arrived at the company office, the CEO immediately gave me a contract to sign" - Park Seo Joon talked about Kim Soo Hyun's kindness.

Joining a major entertainment company and becoming a colleague of Kim Soo Hyun, Park Seo Joon received his first roles in the TV series "Dream High 2" (2012), "Golden Marriage" (2013), "Warm Words (2013)"...

In 2014, Park Seo Joon had his first leading role in the movie "Love Witch".

Since 2015, Park Seo Joon's career has made a breakthrough with many outstanding works in both television and film, bringing his reputation beyond the scope of Korea such as "Finding Myself", "Pretty Girl", "Crime Cycle", "Struggling Youth", "Cops", "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?", "Parasite", "Itaewon Class"...

After the success of “Itaewon Class”, Park Seo Joon once again faced a crisis, to the point that he considered retiring.

“I felt like I was out of bullets. When those thoughts took over, I thought about giving up. A lot of money and time were poured into the work, but it would be rude not to be able to do it in a good state,” the actor confessed.

But then he overcame his exhaustion and was determined to take on new projects.

In 2023, Park Seo Joon joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a supporting role in “Captain Marvel 2: The Marvels”. Although only taking on a small role, the fact that Park Seo Joon is the 3rd Korean actor to appear in a Marvel film is still a source of great pride for the Korean media and public.

Recently, Park Seo Joon returned with 2 parts of the movie "Gyeongseong Creature" produced by Netflix.

Currently, at the age of 35, Park Seo Joon shared about the difficulty in choosing roles: "My age now makes choosing roles difficult. If I choose a character younger than my real age, it won't suit me, but if I choose a character in my 40s, I'm probably too young."
