On 'Men Who Cook Season 2' (hereinafter 'Salimnam'), singer Park Seo-jin's father showed signs of hearing impairment.

In the the 11th broadcast of KBS 2TV family variety show 'Salimnam' episode 451, scenes were shown of Park Seo-jin and his family visiting a hospital due to his father's hearing issues.

That day, Park Seo-jin told the doctor, "My father cannot hear well."

The doctor responded, "Hearing tends to decline from one's 60s, though there are individual differences. Some people experience it starting in their mid-to-late 40s. You should not take hearing loss lightly. If you cannot hear well, the risk of accidents increases. You might not even hear approaching cars. If you ignore hearing loss without using a hearing aid, cognitive functions may deteriorate rapidly. Therefore, if hearing declines, the likelihood of developing dementia is about five times higher than normal."

He further emphasized, "When hearing declines, sound signals cannot reach the brain, causing the corresponding brain functions to deteriorate early. Once hearing is damaged, it cannot be restored. Preventing further decline is crucial."

Only now did Park Seo-jin's father confess, "My hearing has been getting worse for about 7 or 8 years. It was really expensive. As a parent, I didn't want to burden my children."

Park Seo-jin said, "I had no idea he had been living with discomfort for so long. Besides not being able to hear, he also forgets things easily. That made me even more worried. I wanted to take good care of him, but if he avoids going to the hospital because earning money is burdensome, it hurts a child's heart," as he wiped away tears.

'Men Who Cook Season 2' airs every Saturday at 10:35 p.m.
