'DoJang TV' Park Joo-ho conveyed his wife Anna's reaction during the internal whistleblowing at the Korea Football Association. While his wife finds his personality frustrating at times, she has also offered her support.
Park Joo-ho appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel 'DoJang TV' hosted by Do Kyung-wan, which was released on the afternoon of the 30th. Do Kyung-wan and Park Joo-ho have maintained a friendship through their connection in the KBS 2TV entertainment program 'The Return of Superman.'
On that day, Do Kyung-wan noted that it had been a while since he last recorded a broadcast with Park Joo-ho, and he was surprised by the growth of Park Joo-ho's three children, Na-eun, Geon-hu, and Jin-woo. He asked, 'I am hesitant to ask this, but is your wife doing okay?' referring to Anna, who had battled cancer. Park Joo-ho replied, 'She's fine. Fortunately, the progress has been very good,' updating about his wife Anna's condition.
Do Kyung-wan also mentioned that Park Joo-ho had been active as an administrator in the Korea Football Association after retiring as a football player. He said, 'He looked really good as an administrator. I thought about whether he should walk forward with the ups and downs in the Korean football industry.' He added, 'I thought, 'Don't do this, Joo-ho.' At the same time, I realized I can see people well. He doesn't tolerate seeing things wrong. It seemed very crusader-like.'
This was in reference to the internal whistleblowing Park Joo-ho did last year regarding the process of selecting the national team coach for the Korea Football Association. Park Joo-ho had served as a member of the National Team Strengthening Committee and had been working hard to select a new coach following Jürgen Klinsmann. Afterward, the association appointed Coach Hong Myung-bo, at which point Park Joo-ho clarified the previous coaching selection process, and the Korea Football Association hinted at legal action against him.
Park Joo-ho said about this, 'I always listen to what others say, like 'this is not good' or 'this is good,' but when it comes to making decisions, I don’t think too complicatedly. It was sincere.'
He also mentioned, 'My wife finds my personality frustrating,' and he continued, 'As soon as it started and I began to struggle, she said, 'If you didn't do it this way, you wouldn't be the Park Joo-ho I know.' It seems to have been my way of living until now.' His wife Anna had also supported Park Joo-ho's endeavors.
Former national football player Park Joo-ho gained popularity through 'The Return of Superman' and is actively communicating through entertainment shows and his personal YouTube channel after retiring.
