An anecdote about YouTuber Park Wi’s father, Director Park Chan-hong, who sought to take Choi Kang-hee as an “adopted daughter” following actresses Park Jin-hee and Yoon So-hee, is being revisited.

Recently, OnLINE highlighted a scene from a video on Park Wi’s YouTube channel ‘Wiracl,’ released in 2022, in which Choi Kang-hee appeared as a guest.

At the time, Choi Kang-hee expressed deep gratitude toward Director Park Chan-hong, Park Wi’s father, who had guided her onto the path of acting.

Choi Kang-hee stated that when she was mourning the loss of her father, Director Park suddenly visited and said, “Usually, people comfort you by saying ‘he has gone to a good place,’ but the director told me, ‘From now on, I am your dad. Call me Dad.’”

Choi Kang-hee then added that she learned Park Jin-hee also called Director Park “Dad,” remarking, “I felt he was truly like a father to everyone.”

While this anecdote had been shared as a heartwarming story about Director Park Chan-hong, it has recently been interpreted through a new lens amid the controversy surrounding Yoon So-hee. Some netizens noted that Choi Kang-hee was 19 years old at her debut while Director Park was in his 30s, questioning, “How many adopted daughters does Director Park Chan-hong actually have?” and “What is the reason for insisting that adult actresses call him ‘Dad’?”

This anecdote was revisited alongside reports that Director Park Chan-hong had previously taken Park Jin-hee and Yoon So-hee as adopted daughters. In a YouTube video released in September 2024, themed around “Our first Chuseok (Mid-Autumn Festival) at my husband’s family home,” featuring Park Wi and his wife, Song Ji-eun, former member of the group SECRET, Yoon So-hee was shown welcoming the couple to Director Park’s home while wearing pajamas. It was also revealed that Yoon So-hee had been an adopted daughter of Director Park Chan-hong.

Netizens pointed out that in the aforementioned video, Park Wi’s parents praised and treated Yoon So-hee with higher regard than their daughter-in-law, Song Ji-eun, which they found strange. They also noted that at the meal prepared by Park Wi’s mother, only Song Ji-eun was given tableware with a different pattern, while Park Wi’s parents, as well as Park Wi and Yoon So-hee, used tableware with the same pattern.

Yoon So-hee is known to have formed a connection with Director Park Chan-hong through the tvN drama “Memory,” which aired in 2016. Park Jin-hee developed a relationship with Director Park Chan-hong by appearing in the KBS 2TV drama “Silk Rose,” which aired in 2001. After her father passed away at an early age, Park Jin-hee called Director Park Chan-hong “father” and maintained a special bond akin to that of a real parent and child. Choi Kang-hee also has a connection with the director, having been cast as the lead in KBS 1TV’s “Report on the New Generation: Adults Don’t Know” after catching his eye, which marked her debut in the entertainment industry.
