Park Seo-jin was taken aback by her 70-year-old father's unexpected behavior.
On the 21st, KBS2's 'Salim Nam' aired featuring ILLIT's Won-hee as a guest, revealing an empty house with no one but Park Seo-jin's father.
Her father has recently been injured while working on a boat, so fishing activities have been paused for the time being. That day, her father, watching TV in silence, looked at the mountains and exclaimed, "The mountains are truly wonderful. It would be nice to live in the mountains." He then made a significant declaration, saying, "I have lived for my family for seventy years, and now I've decided that I should also live my life once."
The next morning, her father headed to the mountains to begin the mountain life he had dreamed of. At that moment, the family was completely unaware of his deviation. In the meantime, a phone call came from her father in the mountains. Park Seo-jin expressed concern, saying, "I received a call during the concert. A long time ago, mom and dad's boat sank due to a hole. They were sleeping, and it was a close call that they could have both passed away on the same day." Additionally, her father, who has been suffering from diabetes, occasionally experiences hypoglycemic shock.
The family asked, "When will you be back?" but her father replied, "I won't go back. I can live by eating grass," and stated, "When a person dies, they return to nature." Park Seo-jin urged, "You said your arms and legs hurt, how did you climb the mountain? Did you bring your diabetes medication? Come home quickly," but her father hung up, saying, "Don't worry about me. I will live in the mountains."
Ultimately, Park Seo-jin and her sibling were searching for their dad while her father continued his mountain life. Not long after, Seo-jin and her sibling arrived at the mountain where their father was, and compared to the beginning, her father looked haggard. After the siblings enjoyed the food they brought, they descended the mountain, but her father, left alone, stayed in the tent until the next morning, appearing emaciated overnight.
Her father declared with a laugh, "I was so scared I couldn't sleep a wink. Now that I have experienced mountain life, I will be with my family and will not come to the mountains again."
