[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 16th, SBS's "My Ugly Duckling" aired, revealing actor Park Sung-woong's surprising past.


On this day’s episode of "My Ugly Duckling," Park Sung-woong appeared as a guest. When Seo Jang-hoon brought up, "I heard your college graduation photo has an incredible presence," Park Sung-woong bowed his head laughing, saying, "Please stop... please stop."


Then, when Park Sung-woong’s famous college graduation photo appeared on screen, Shin Dong-yup exclaimed, "This is my first time seeing this," and Park Sung-woong replied, "Is this your first time seeing it, hyung?"


In the photo, Park Sung-woong during his college days is wearing an all-white suit, with his hair dyed blonde and sunglasses on. He especially caught attention with his overwhelmingly tall height compared to his friends around him. Seo Jang-hoon even asked, "Isn’t that Dr. Lee?"


Park Sung-woong explained, "At that time, I was performing in Daehangno, so it was my first time dyeing my hair, and I also pierced my ears for the first time in my life." He added, "I wore a black suit but looked too much like a waiter, so I wore a white suit. I took the photo without much thought, but I never expected it to become so talked about..."


Also, Shin Dong-yup asked, "You seemed to have been quietly around without much notice, but I heard you appeared on some entertainment program before." Then, footage of Park Sung-woong appearing on "Love Studio" was shown. In the footage, a fresh-faced Park Sung-woong said, "I once cried because a girl hit me," making the studio panel burst into laughter.


After seeing the footage, Shin Dong-yup said, "So young. So young," and Park Sung-woong responded, "A rookie, a rookie." He explained, "That was when I was in the first class of the action school. It was a special episode featuring male cast members called the 'Tough Guy Special.'"


Park Sung-woong also revealed that his acting talent was "100% inherited from my mother," saying, "My mom was good at taking the microphone and leading anywhere, sang well, and always won first place in chicken fights. She was a strong woman."



SBS’s variety program "My Ugly Duckling" airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM.
