Singer John Park revealed the reason behind his secret wedding and shocked everyone with unexpected news about his family.

On the December 11th episode of MBC's Hangout With Yoo, the show hosted a Winter Song special featuring John Park and Ailee as guests.

While talking about winter-themed songs, the conversation took an interesting turn when Ailee mentioned her upcoming wedding to Single’s Inferno contestant Choi Si Hoon.

As the group discussed weddings, Yoo Jae Suk noticed John Park’s meaningful nod and said, “John Park looks like he knows something about this!”

John Park playfully responded, “Well, it’s a happy time for everyone.” Then, with a sly smile, he added, “It hasn’t been long for me either.”

This left everyone stunned. Yoo Jae Suk immediately exclaimed, “Wait, John Park got married? I didn’t know!” Actor Lee Yi Kyung also chimed in, “A lot of people didn’t know.”

Things got even more surprising when Mi Joo asked, “Don’t you have a child, too?” John Park confirmed, “Yes, I have a daughter.” Yoo Jae Suk, visibly shocked, said, “Congratulations! I really had no idea,” and offered heartfelt belated congratulations.

John Park then shared why he kept everything low-key. “Of course, getting married is a good thing, but I didn’t feel the need to make a big announcement. I wanted to invite people, but I was worried it might feel burdensome, so we decided to keep it small,” he explained.

Yoo Jae Suk assured him, “Why would it be a burden? If John Park invites us, we’ll always come!” He then asked about the wedding’s size, to which John Park jokingly replied, “It was a medium-sized wedding,” lightening the mood.

John Park married his non-celebrity wife in 2022 and welcomed their first daughter the following year. Fans are now praising the singer for his humble approach to such a big life event.

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
