Actor Park Byung-eun sparked excitement in the studio by revealing photos from his 'flower boy past' that rival those of Cha Eun-woo. Everyone was unable to hide their surprise at the unexpected story that he had received offers to join an idol group during his high school years.
On the 6th, the show MBN's 'Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2' depicted actor Park Byung-eun's documentary-style food journey in Daegu with Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube.
On this day, when Jun Hyun-moo asked, “What food comes to mind when you think of Daegu?,” Park Byung-eun replied, “Um Ji-won, who is from Daegu, recommended puffer fish bulgogi.” However, Jun Hyun-moo strongly asserted, “No, it’s chicken in Daegu!” and Park Byung-eun responded with suspicion, saying, “Isn’t that a made-up story?,” which elicited laughter.
What particularly caught viewers' attention was when Jun Hyun-moo mentioned Park Byung-eun's visuals from his theater and film studies days, saying, “Looking at the past photos, he would be on par with Cha Eun-woo by today's standards. I bet female students followed him around a lot.”
In response, Park Byung-eun laughed and said, “No, I will show you,” revealing his past photos and jokingly asking Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube to “give me your evaluation.” After seeing the photos, Kwak Tube remarked, “With that shaggy cut, you totally look like a Japanese idol,” and asked, “You received an offer to become an idol, right?” Park Byung-eun confessed, “I actually received an offer to join the group 'Tae Sa Ja' back in high school.” Jun Hyun-moo expressed astonishment, saying, “That was real… You could have made a living just on your looks,” while Kwak Tube acknowledged, “I recognize your beauty from that time,” giving a thumbs up.
Viewers who watched the broadcast also showed great responses, saying things like, “I only thought Park Byung-eun was handsome, but he also has great talk skills,” “He had a calm image, but his past beauty talk revealed a surprising charm,” and “At this level, he likely would have succeeded as an idol.”
