Park Soo-hong (born October 27, 1970), is a South Korean comedian and presenter. [2]
In 1991, Park won bronze in the National College Comedy Contest, making his official debut in the South Korean entertainment industry. [1] [3] In the early 1990s, Park was a part of a group of comedians who called themselves Team Potato (Korean : 감자골), composed of Kim Gook-jin, Kim Soo-yong and Kim Yong-man, who all debuted in the same year on KBS. [4] [5] [6] It had been reported that Kim Yong-man had been admitted to hospital due to their busy schedule, and therefore Kim Gook-jin attempted to reason with television program producers to lighten their workload. [4] However, this request was not received well by producers, who then decided it was necessary to permanently ban Team Potato from making appearances on television. [6] As a result, in January 1993, the four comedians planned to leave South Korea for the United States of America, taking a break from the South Korean entertainment industry, although ultimately, only Kim Yong-man and Kim Gook-jin went to the United States of America, while Park began his compulsory army duty and Kim Soo-yong went to Canada. [4] [7] [8]
In 2004, Park hosted the 2004 MBC Entertainment Awards, along with Kim Won-hee. [9] In 2005, he hosted the 41st Baeksang Arts Awards, with announcer Lee Hye-seung. [10] In 2017, Park hosted the 2017 KBS Drama Awards, along with Lee Yoo-ri and Namkoong Min. [11] In 2018, he hosted the 2018 Miss Korea pageant, alongside Yura (Girl's Day). [3] [12] [13]
Park is a darts fan, having attended and participated in the Phoenix Summer Festival's dart competition, held and sponsored by the Korea Darts Association. [14] [15] [16] [17]
In 2018, ahead of the South Korean local elections and the South Korean by-elections, Park took part in the 613 Vote and Laugh (Korean : 613 투표하고 웃자) campaign, amongst other comedians such as Kang Ho-dong and Shin Dong-yup, [18] [19] encouraging the South Korean public to use their vote in the elections. [20] [21]
On July 28, 2021, Park wrote on his personal Instagram that he had registered his marriage with his non-celebrity girlfriend. [22] On November 24, 2022, it was confirmed that the official wedding will take place on December 23, 2022. [23]
In early September 2022, Park Soo Hong's older brother was arrested on charges of embezzling an estimated 10 billion KRW (approximately $7.1 million USD) from Park Soo Hong. On October 4, 2022 while undergoing a cross-examination by the prosecution, his father attacked him multiple times, which included kicking him and delivering verbal threats. He was transferred to the emergency room of a nearby hospital after fainting due to severe stress and shock. [24]
