[Sportschosun Lee Ji-hyun] Actress Park Jeong-su was stunned after coming across her own Namuwiki entry while talking with her granddaughters.
On the 4th, the YouTube channel "You Can't Stop Park Jung-soo Anyway" featured Park Jeong-su appearing with her two granddaughters as they checked various online rumors and the Namuwiki page about her.
That day, Park Jeong-su asked her granddaughters Seung-i and Seung-hee, "What would you like Grandma to do on YouTube?"
One granddaughter suggested, "I saw comments asking you to read Namuwiki," and Park Jeong-su, unfamiliar with the site, asked, "What is Namuwiki?" After explaining that it was like an online encyclopedia where everything is written down, the granddaughter began reading Park Jeong-su's profile.
She read aloud a passage saying that Park Jeong-su began dating PD Jeong Eung-young, Kim Soo-hyun's directing partner, in 2001, and that when Park Jeong-su was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2007 and tried to break up, Jeong Eung-young confessed, "I will take care of you until I die."
Park Jeong-su immediately denied it, saying, "That's a lie. It's a lie." She then added in disbelief, "What do you mean, take care of me until I die? Where did this come from?"
The granddaughter then read another claim: that Park Jeong-su, in gratitude to Jeong Eung-young for caring for her, provided the entire fifth floor of her Gangnam Rodeo Street building as a workspace.
Park Jeong-su responded, "Oh, that's a lie too," and then laughed, saying, "So I just stay quiet, and they write a novel like this."
She did acknowledge that some of the details were true. Park Jeong-su explained, "It is true that I gave him an office so he could work hard," and when her granddaughter asked, "Did he work hard?" she replied, "At first. He started out trying to work hard," drawing laughter.
By chatting naturally with her granddaughters, Park Jeong-su drew attention for directly correcting false information circulating online and setting the record straight herself.
Meanwhile, Park Jeong-su debuted in 1972 as part of the fifth class of open-recruitment talent at Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). She married a businessman in 1975 and had two children, but later divorced by mutual agreement. Since 2009, she has been in a common-law relationship with PD Jeong Eung-young, the father of actor Jung Kyung-ho.
