[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Actor Park Geun-hyung, who is affectionately known as 'Kkot-halbae' (Flower Grandpa), revealed that he was once expelled from a broadcasting company during his time as a KBS public recruitment talent.

On the 13th, Park Geun-hyung appeared on TV Chosun's 'Sikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey' and spoke about his past acting career.

That day, Park Geun-hyung said, "I was so hungry while doing theater for seven years," and added, "When KBS announced they were recruiting public talents, I applied thinking it was like being an employee with job security, but it turned out to be just a manpower recruitment for temporary use."

He continued, "Because I spoke frankly, one day when I went up to Namsan (then KBS headquarters), I saw a list of people to be expelled written on the blackboard," and confessed, "Kim Hye-ja, me, Sa Mi-ja's husband Kim Gwan-su, and a very skilled voice actor ? these four were cut off."

Park Geun-hyung said, "I was reinstated the following year. Then I became the second person in Korea to declare myself a freelancer and left." When Heo Young-man asked, "What did your wife believe in when she married you?" Park Geun-hyung replied, "That's why she is also a very frustrated person," which brought laughter.
