Park Young-gyu accompanied his wife and daughter for the first time in the arboretum



Actor Park Young-kyu expressed his longing for his son who passed away first.

Park Young-gyu's appearance, which was different from the usual, was revealed on KBS 2TV 'Salim Men Season 2' (hereinafter 'Salim Nam') which aired on the 30th, as his wife, who is 25 years younger than him, was worried.

On this day, he sat alone in the middle of the night and watched the news related to the College Scholastic Ability Test, looking deeply pensive.




To his wife, who approached him with a worried look, Park Young-gyu said "It's nothing. It's because I can't sleep", but his wife said in an interview with the production team, "Sometimes I can see something like that. Around the birthday of my son in November and the anniversary of March, he/she will sit alone in his/her study or have a drink that he/she doesn't usually drink."

Park Young-gyu said, "Ana came to my house when I was in elementary school, and it's already been 6 years and she's about to take the college entrance exam"It suddenly occurred to me. I want to go to my children's graduation ceremony like any other dad", he expressed his inner feelings.

Watching her daughter Ana preparing for the CSAT, she felt mixed feelings of regret and guilt that she could not even take care of her son's college entrance.

The wife was saddened to see that she was so different from her usual appearance. `I thought, 'You wanted to do something like that like a normal parent.'" The first time my husband cried was at Ana's elementary school graduation. He cried, saying, 'I've never been to my son's graduation or entrance ceremony.'

After that, the wife told her daughter "Dad seems to be having a hard time. I suggested to my brother, "Let's go together." and daughter Ana confessed, "After hearing the story, I understood enough that my father felt that way.'

A few days later, the three visited the arboretum where Park Young-gyu's son slept. Park Young-gyu said "Ana, it's the first time the three of us are coming together. I'm so happy to come with you," and daughter Ana replied "I'm happy, too," making Park Young-gyu emotional.




Park Young-gyu said, `I felt empty when I came alone, but today I felt completely different.' `This year, I felt indescribable emotions because the three came together. Now I've done my job'I feel good about it,' he confessed.

Daughter Ana placed a small figure taken out of her bag in front of a tree where her brother slept. "Didn't your dad say he had tteokbokki with you last time. So I brought it", and added to the impression by preparing a figure depicting Park Young-gyu and his son Dal eating tteokbokki together. My wife also brought her own tteokbokki and delivered her family's love.

Park Young-gyu shed tears at the warm consolation of his family and laid down the AI frame he brought himself "I miss my dad so much," he confessed of his longing for his son. Then "Yes, it's your pretty brother. Please take good care of me from now on," he said, introducing his daughter Ana.

Later, when I asked my wife "Did you make it knowing that Dal likes tteokbokki?" she asked "Didn't you buy tteokbokki the last time you came alone?" Even if it doesn't taste good, I just wanted to make it and bring it," he said, comforting his husband's heart.

The daughter Ana asked "What else did you like?" and Park Young-gyu majored in automobiles " After graduating from university, I decided to go to a Japanese car company. I love making it and I did a good job," he recalled of his son.

Then "It's always a shame that I couldn't do much because I was far away. I haven't felt the feelings of parents with high school seniors. However, looking at Ana these days, I keep regretting what I couldn't do. "Now, the end of my life is Ana. " I held my daughter's hand tightly.

Finally, Park Young-gyu added "I don't want to designate a school. But I want you to accomplish what you want," he said, expressing sincere support.

Meanwhile, Park's son passed away in 2004 at the young age of 21 in a sudden motorcycle accident in the United States. Since then, Park Young-gyu has confessed that he lived like a dead man for six years.
