'Salimnam 2' Park Seo-jin directly experienced his father's hardships.

On the 5th, on KBS 2TV's 'Salimnam 2', which aired, Park Seo-jin called his father after successfully renewing a shoe advertisement contract. His father said he was wearing well the hearing aid his son had given him and added, "With this hearing aid, I can hear everything my wife says. Sometimes her farts even sound squeaky."

Park Seo-jin constantly worried about his father's health. His father replied, "When you get older, don't you have more than one or two places that hurt? I have nowhere to go. If I go out, people will notice. You're young and don't know. It's hard to walk much when it hurts, and climbing stairs is difficult too.. Try being my age. You play the janggu, so your shoulders must ache even more."

To empathize with his father's sorrow, Park Seo-jin dressed up as a person in their 70s and went out onto the streets. Wearing an elderly experience kit made every step feel heavy as lead, and descending stairs while leaning on a cane was exhausting. He even missed the subway right before his eyes.

Park Seo-jin said, "I began to understand my father's feelings a little. Why does self-esteem keep dropping and why does he avoid going out? As it becomes more difficult with age, I think people give up on more things. People don't sit next to me on the subway seats. Do they move away just because of me? I became overly conscious of others' glances. My body kept feeling heavy and tired," thereby understanding his father's hardships.

At home, the family prepared a birthday party for Park Seo-jin. Seeing his son dressed as an elderly person in their 70s, his father said, "He doesn't look like my son; he looks like my older brother." He then shared his inner thoughts: "It's good that you endured through those difficult years and made it this far to dress up as someone in their 70s. I thought, how wonderful it would be to age so gracefully like that."

Park Seo-jin also commented, "I lived as my father just to understand his feelings, and my parents seemed grateful. They must have seen me as if saying, 'Our son has lived well into his 70s.' I need to show them a happy life ahead so they won't worry anymore."

Seeing her son's aged appearance, his mother eventually became teary-eyed. Park Seo-jin said, "I initially thought lightly of it, but then I realized my father must be spending each day with such feelings. I promised myself that I will do better for my parents from now on."
