• Park Kyung gets emotional during Block B's full group stage: "Thank you for embracing me"

    Block B’s Park Kyung, who previously admitted to school bullying, got emotional as he took the stage with his fellow members for the first time in years.

    On September 6, the final episode of KBS 2TV's The Seasons – Zico's Artist aired, featuring Block B’s full lineup (Zico, Taeil, Jaehyo, B-Bomb, P.O, Park Kyung, and U-Kwon). This marked the group’s first performance together in about seven years.

    U-Kwon shared how much this moment meant to him, saying, "I was really happy. I thought we’d get called at least once." The members revealed that they had prepared a lot for this stage, with Jaehyo mentioning, "Zico gave us a target weight, and I lost 12 kg."

    B-Bomb added humor to the conversation by saying, "I don’t usually talk to Zico often, but after years, I got a call from him. The first thing he asked was, 'How much do you weigh?'" This made P.O laugh, saying, "He should at least ask how you’ve been, not just your weight."

    Zico then shared, "Honestly, I was the least managed among us. I’m really thankful to the members who worked hard to prepare."

    The spotlight, however, was on Park Kyung, who was involved in a school bullying controversy in 2020. During the performance, Park Kyung teared up, saying, "I’m glad to be able to greet everyone under the name of Block B. I’m so grateful for today’s stage." He continued, "I thought of this stage as a dream and felt it was more than I deserved."

    He also expressed his gratitude to his group, saying, "Thank you to my members for embracing me. I will only show my best side from now on."

    P.O was seen wiping Park Kyung’s tears, while Zico comforted him, saying, "Don’t cry."

    Park Kyung’s controversy stemmed from allegations of school bullying in 2020. At the time, he acknowledged the accusations and issued an apology, saying, "To those who were hurt because of me, and to those who still feel pain seeing me, I sincerely apologize. I deeply regret my immature actions from my adolescence."

    Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

    She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
    “The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

    Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

    Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
