Singer Park Jin-young headed to Cheong Wa Dae for a meeting.

In the the 1st broadcast of MBC’s variety program 'Full View' (hereinafter 'Full View'), Park Jin-young appeared and revealed his daily life.

That day, after finishing company work, Park Jin-young headed to Cheong Wa Dae. His manager explained, "Mr. Park Jin-young has been appointed as Director of the Cultural Foundation and is on his way for an important meeting."

Dressed in a neat suit, he met with Secretary General Kang Hoon-sik at the Park Jin-yeong-eun (President) Presidential Secretariat Office, exchanging cool greetings. Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young also appeared, gathering for the meeting.

The three drank coffee, and Secretary General Kang Hoon-sik prepared cold brew specifically for Park Jin-young. In response, Park Jin-young said, "I refused the position (as chairman) for three months before accepting it. They contacted me over those three months to take care of things. Even during meetings, they knew I liked cold brew and prepared it accordingly."

When asked about being treated at a ministerial level, he replied, "You can choose between full-time or part-time. If you go full-time, you receive payment. I cannot do that, so I said I would take the part-time role. In fact, it doesn't make sense for someone with a ministerial rank to be part-time, but they found a way to make it work. I will not receive any salary."

Regarding Secretary General Kang Hoon-sik and Minister Choi Hwi-young of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Park Jin-young said, "The three of us are very close. We became friends during the process of persuading me over a long period while I kept refusing. I am neither from the progressive nor conservative camp—I am just Park Jin-young."
