On October 13, YouTube channel “Fairy Jaehyung” released a video titled “Park Seo-joon… So Intense.”
In the video, Park Seo-joon answered the question, “Why did you go to the army so early?” saying, “I had nothing to do. I had no connection. If you look at it that way, I was like a ‘loser influence.’”
Park Seo-joon explained that during his first days of debut he felt lost. “It was really overwhelming. I wasn’t sure if I could continue acting. So I thought: ‘Let’s deal with military service first.’” the actor confessed.
After his military discharge, Park Seo-joon shared how Kim Soo-hyun helped him get a contract with an agency.
He said, “A friend of a friend knew Kim Soo-hyun and asked him for help. Soo-hyun gladly put me in touch with the agency, and on the day of my visit, they immediately discussed a contract.”
Thanks to Kim Soo-hyun, Park Seo-joon joined KeyEast. Reflecting on that moment, Park Seo-joon said, “The CEO confidently handed me the contract, saying, ‘This is a standard contract. If you’re not sure, you can consult a lawyer. “I didn’t know much about it at the time, so I said I’d review it and get back to them. It was all so new to me and the company was huge.”
However, Park Seo-joon shared that joining an agency didn’t solve all his problems.
“Even after joining the company, there were still many challenges. Being a newcomer, opportunities were scarce and at the time the three main broadcasters were everything, so there weren’t many projects and auditions often had thousands of people,” he explained.
