Former employee of Park Myung Soo makes viral post about comedian

AKP STAFF

A post by a former employee of Park Myung Soo has gone viral.

Recently, a YouTube short titled "Why Park Myung Soo buys meals for his juniors who earn more money" began trending among netizens, and a comment left by netizen 'A' is currently going viral. According to 'A', they worked part-time at a chicken restaurant owned by Park Myung Soo, and their experience working for the comedian led them to their current life.

'A' wrote, "I was introverted, small, fat, and ugly. I interviewed at several stores, but I failed every time. I went there that day because I was told to come in for an interview, and Park Myung Soo interviewed me himself. In fact, I was so scared of Park Myung Soo's face at the time, and the way he talked was very cynical."

When Park Myung Soo asked why they were working part-time, 'A' responded, "I'm going to pay for my younger brother's tuition. Both of us can't go to college because of family circumstances, but unlike me, my younger brother is smart, studious, and handsome. I think it's right he go to college. That's why I'm trying to start working right after graduating from high school."

'A' continued to say that the comedian asked them about their college test scores, and after hearing they scored 338 out of 400, he asked them to begin working right away. According to 'A', Park Myung Soo was always generous, giving him above average pay as well as more than enough taxi fare. 'A' shared, "On the first payday, he put my pay in the envelope himself. He said he gave me more, but he gave me 300,000 won ($222.09 USD) more."

Though Park Myung Soo was harsh on 'A' and asked them to work hard for the extra pay they were given, 'A' expressed that they were touched that the comedian always took care of them. Park Myung Soo also encouraged 'A' to attend college with the money they saved, and both 'A' and their younger brother began working part-time in the evenings at Park Myung Soo's restaurant while attending college.

'A' said, "Thanks to him, I graduated from college and got a job. I'm now married with two kids. I can't contact Park Myung Soo now because I don't have his contact information, but sometimes I tell my kids he helped me a lot when I was young. When I see him, I always think of those days, and I'm happy to hear about his warm heart again. I'm grateful."
