Top K-Drama Actor Reveals Chronically Ill Father For The First Time

On September 6, a video titled “Breaking News: Actor Park Jung Min Becomes Visually Impaired | I Miss You Show!” was uploaded to YouTube channel Oneshot Hansol.

In the video, Park Jung Min, who is also the head of a publishing company, met with visually impaired YouTuber Oneshot Hansol inside a completely dark room, where neither could see the other. Park has previously shown support for the visually impaired community by producing the audiobook First Summer, Wanju.

“While creating books for the visually impaired, I thought it might be meaningful to have conversations about books too, but I hesitated, worrying it might be presumptuous. I promised myself I’d wait for a better opportunity, so I’m glad I could finally meet Hansol.”

During the conversation, Park Jung Min shared a deeply personal truth about his own father.

“It felt like a weight was lifted. I wanted to talk about this. Actually, my father is also visually impaired. But he never once told me that the tactile paving on the ground was for people like him. I only found out what it was for last year. I always wondered why it existed. Ignorant as it sounds, when you drag a suitcase, it rattles and feels inconvenient for non-disabled people. That was my perspective. I was ashamed. My own father is someone who needs those blocks.”

Park Jung Min’s new film Face is set to premiere on September 11, 2025.
