Jay Park is receiving a lot of praise from Korean netizens for his appearance on the YouTube channel FO Squad Kpop’s talk show ‘Taste of Culture’.

In the video titled “The Side of JAY PARK that nobody sees | Taste of Culture”, Jay Park sat down with hosts Lou and Ousmane to discuss his principles and values in life.

During the talk show, Jay Park shared his perspective on why he believes South Korea values respect and modesty.

The topic came up when Ousmane pointed out the difference between the ostentatious tendencies of celebrities in the United States compared to Korean celebrities, who are known for their humility.

Jay Park explained that not many people know about Korea’s history of being annexed and how it was once illegal to speak Korean in Korea.

He also shared how Korea had to rebuild after the Korean War, which resulted in millions of deaths and the destruction of cities.

Jay Park also gave insight into the mandatory military service for all males in South Korea, explaining that it is not a tradition, but rather a necessity due to the fact that the war technically has not ended.

Jay Park’s explanation helped the hosts understand why Korean citizens do not flaunt their wealth as individuals and why many Korean celebrities display a more humble demeanor.

The hosts were surprised by this history and exclaimed, “There was a history behind this?! That is deep!”.

Korean netizens were impressed with Jay Park’s knowledge and perspective, leaving comments such as:

"Jay Park is amazing"

"He has a new point of view. He's so clever"

"I admire Jay Park so much"

"I agree with what Jay Park said. Even after the IMF, it was seen as a good thing for Koreans to save money and show off their wealth.

"He grew up in the U.S., so he probably didn't know much about Korean past. He must have been in school. He must have thought a lot about that for him to say something like that."

"That does make sense."

"Jay Park is really cool"

"He has a lot of insight"

"I'd never thought of it this way before. "I like his way of thinking."

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
