Actor Park Jung Min just revealed the actor he’s totally into these days — and fans are loving how much he admires him!
On the May 2 episode of YouTube show Baek Eun Ha’s Give and Take, Park Jung Min opened up about how much he looks up to fellow actor Park Hae Joon, who played Yang Gwan Sik in the recent hit drama When Life Gives You Tangerines.
“I already knew Hae Joon hyung was an amazing actor,” Park Jung Min shared. “A long time ago, when we were filming something at theater group Chai Mu, I saw this senior performing and was just blown away.”
He added, "I thought, ‘Who is that?’ and later found out he was a senior from my school. I remember thinking, ‘He’s so good.’ Then I saw him again in the movie Helpless and felt really happy.”
The two have worked together more than once, in the film Start-Up and the Netflix series The 8 Show. Park Jung Min explained how watching Park Hae Joon on set pushed him to do better.
“Everyone was obsessed with his acting. During Human Theater, I even thought to myself, ‘I need to work harder on my script because of him,’” he said.
But it’s not just his acting that left an impression. Park Jung Min had nothing but praise for Park Hae Joon’s personality, saying, “He’s calm and warm. He really cares about people and never makes anyone feel uncomfortable.”
He added, “All of that kindness and maturity is now showing through in his acting. It’s like everything good about him is just overflowing on screen.”
And for a fun twist — Park Jung Min also said Park Hae Joon reminded him of baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani!
“Hae Joon hyung told me to check out this old music video he was in — Yoon Sang’s ‘Move’ — and when I watched it, I was shocked. He looked just like Shohei Ohtani! He was so cool,” he laughed. “But then he kept telling me to keep watching it.”
Looks like Park Jung Min is a true fan — and we can’t blame him.
