In response, Park Eun-bin said, "Not at all. Although I may be young, I have broadened my perspective and accumulated experience throughout my life," adding, "I think I will continue to live according to my own convictions without major changes."

She also added, "Because of the values I have established since I was young, I tend not to be easily swayed by what others say."

In this interview, Park Eun-bin explained why she often says she wants to offer comfort and encouragement: "People are born on this earth and spend either fleeting or long periods of time, but how they lead their lives is a personal choice," she said. "Since I want comfort and encouragement myself, I think it’s better to first give it to others," she stated firmly.

Earlier, Kim Gap-su faced backlash after criticizing Park Eun-bin’s attitude during her acceptance speech for winning the Grand Prize at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards for the drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo. In a YouTube broadcast, Kim mentioned Park Eun-bin, saying things like, "Crying and sniffling so much," and "There should be dignity. She’s not even 18 anymore; she’s thirty," among other remarks.

However, on the 8th, Kim Gap-su apologized, saying he wanted to make a general critique of what he usually feels at award ceremonies, but "while talking about Park Eun-bin’s tears of joy as the Grand Prize winner, my expression came off as mocking," and "I was very wrong about that."
