Park Na-rae found a colleague who suffers from depression. Get him out of the world



Comedian Park Na-rae and Mija once again confirmed their 12-year friendship.

In the 60th episode of 「Naraesik」, which was released on the evening of the 12th, Park Na-rae and Mija's long-standing relationship and heartfelt stories about each other were unfolded.

Mija, who dreamed of becoming an announcer in the past, accidentally encountered the KBS open recruitment announcement and went up to the end, but was unfortunately eliminated. Afterwards, he showed off his skills through KBS 'Gagstar', and finally passed the MBC open comedian exam in 2012, marking a turning point.




However, suffering from severe depression, I had to stop being a comedian. Mija said "I had severe depression because of various wounds and situations. I didn't come out of the room. I lost my temper. I spent about three years like that", he confessed.

In the meantime, I participated in the play 'Drip Girls' with the agency's proposal. However, "I haven't met people at all for years, and I was so afraid that my hands and feet trembled when I met someone I didn't know." he recalled at the time.

At this time, it was Park Na-rae who reached out to Mija. Park Na-rae said "Even if it's dark and doesn't talk, there are people with shiny kernels in their shells, and my sister did that. He was such a shining person even in the background. He was such a charming person."

After that, the two met every day and quickly became close. Mija says "I'm a real benefactor. He's the one who brought me out of the world. It was Narae who constantly looked for and called me."

"I'm too timid to contact you first, but Narae keeps calling me and telling me to come out constantly, so I end up leaving," he said with a smile. Then, Park Na-rae tactfully responded "I don't think this is a good story" to laughter.

Mija also said, "Even if I don't try to talk about Narae on the show because I'm afraid people will be bored, how did I overcome the difficult past?", all I have to do is talk about Narae`````````. Narae is such a warm person. It's really the best of my life."




Meanwhile, 'Naraesik' is a healing cooking talk show that melts Park Na-rae's unique delicious talking and cooking skills, and is currently constantly loved, with 100 million cumulative views on the horizon. In the 61st episode of 'Naraesik', which will be released at 6:30 p.m. on the 19th, YouTuber Tzuyang will appear and perform a proper eating chemistry with Park Narae.
