Park Junghun to Publish First Essay "Don't Regret" on 40th Anniversary of Debut
"Wrote All Summer at Daegwallyeong"
Book Signing and Talk Events Scheduled Next Month
Actor Park Junghun (58) will publish his first essay, "Don't Regret," on October 29 to mark the 40th anniversary of his debut. In the book, he candidly shares the joys and sorrows he experienced as one of Chungmuro's top stars in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as his reflections on his life as an actor.
Park Junghun said, "While taking a break, I read many books and came up with ideas for new projects. Although I used to write a column series, I never had the courage to publish a book," adding, "This year, I felt compelled to write, so I spent the entire summer drafting the manuscript at the foot of Daegwallyeong."
Park Junghun made his debut in the 1986 film "Kkam Bo" and rose to stardom with hits such as "Sketch of Mimi and Cheolsu's Youth," "Chilsu and Mansu," "My Love, My Bride," and "The Rules of the Game." He went on to become the face of Korean comedy films with the success of the "Two Cops" series. Since then, he has appeared in more than 50 works, including "Steal It If You Can," "Nowhere to Hide," and "Radio Star."
In 2013, he expanded his career by debuting as a director with "Top Star." Last year, he appeared on the variety show "Dad and I."
