KBS 2TV 'Living Men Season 2' (hereinafter 'Living Men') aired on the 30th showed Park Young-kyu visiting his son, who passed away 21 years ago with his wife and daughter.
On this day, Park Young-gyu couldn't sleep until late and drank alone. His wife, who was watching this scene, said, `Sometimes I see that kind of appearance. On my son's birthday in November and the anniversary of my son's death in March, I sit alone in my study or drink alone even though I never drink."
Regarding the reason why he drank alone even though it was not his son's birthday and anniversary, Park Young-gyu said, `My daughter came to my house when she was in elementary school, and six years have already passed, and she is about to take the college entrance exam. So I kept wanting to do something for my child like a normal father, I suddenly felt like I wanted to do something for my child," he confessed. He said he had never been to a graduation ceremony or entrance ceremony because he sent his son to study abroad early, saying, "I want to do something for my daughter as a father because of my regret for not being a proper father. However, only the front of the door to see if it would interfere with her daughter, who is a test-taker, caused sadness.
The wife was very saddened by the way she looked so different from ordinary times. I wondered if I wanted to do something like that like other ordinary parents"In fact, the first time I saw my husband's tears was at his daughter's elementary school graduation." I went to the graduation ceremony with my husband, and he cried saying that he had never been to my son's graduation or entrance ceremony," he said.
