Singer Park Seo-jin recalled his painful unknown days.

KBS 2TV, which aired on the 12th, showed Park Seo-jin injured his ankle and moved on crutches. Park Hyo-jung, the younger brother who watched this, said "I'll help you!" and did not leave my brother's side. However, Park Seo-jin laughed when he refused his brother's help, saying "You break it more."

Concerned about her brother's health with an ankle injury, Park Hyo-jung advised "Oppa, "Your legs hurt, so the audience's response is important, but don't overdo it and run." Park Seo-jin said "How can I run when there are audiences who came to see me?", showing a professional will. In response, Park Hyo-jung said "I understand what you're saying, but let's not be too harsh." Park Seo-jin said "A professional doesn't he endure even if he's sick?," replied daintyly.

Park Seo-jin recalled his unknown days and confessed difficult moments at the time. "I didn't have a car, so I put all my clothes and makeup tools in my bag and took the bus. There was no waiting room, so I used to wait in the bathroom. On a windy and cold day, I felt sad waiting for three to four hours."

He said "As I got a car and a waiting room, I was so amazed and proud to see the bodyguards checking on me."," he recalled his emotion at the time. "Other singers wear clothes that cost several million won, and I bought a jacket that cost 20,000 won on the Internet, bought glitter at the market, and ironed it," he said of the difficult situation at the time.

Park Seo-jin said "When there was no stage at that time, there was no opportunity to let me know, so I ran on my own feet. I saw the event banner and called 'I'm an unknown singer, please give me the stage. I called dozens of times contemplating, 'Please just give me the stage, because I don't have to pay you.'," he recalled. "I had phobia, and I called many times, even though I was afraid of being rejected," he added.




Park Hyo-jung, who heard this story, praised Park Seo-jin's bleeding efforts, saying, `How did you call after seeing the poster when you were such an introvert?.' Park Seo-jin said, "I liked singing in front of people," he said with sincerity.

Park Seo-jin said "There are still many singers who try to sing even now. I have to do my best on each stage like them," he said, expressing his determination that he is still doing his best as a singer.
