Singer Park Seo-jin was caught off guard by an unexpected physiognomy reading.
On the Saturday episode of KBS2’s “Mr. House Husband Season 2,” Park and his younger sister, Hyo-jung, met with a fortune teller to learn about feng shui.
The episode revealed a glimpse into Park’s daily life. He and Hyo-jung invited a fortune teller to prevent "samjae," a three-year period of bad luck. The fortune teller analyzed Park’s fortune, saying, "He was fundamentally born with unresolved desires. He is quick-tempered and easily flustered, harboring anger, resentment and sorrow. While he has a kind heart that considers others, he also has a sense of deficiency," drawing laughter from those present.
The fortune teller further explained Park’s fate, stating, "He lacks the sun, but his younger sister was born as the sun. She has the energy to support her brother." They added, "Park Seo-jin needs to be in a stable relationship. His partner should be a strong, assertive woman who can take the lead," delivering a series of blunt remarks.
The fortune teller, aware that Park has never been in a relationship, advised, "You should date someone older or the same age. However, now is not the right time. It will take six to eight years before you have a chance at love."
Additionally, they surprised everyone by commenting on Park’s plastic surgery, which cost 100 million won ($75,000). "People who have undergone surgery share a common trait — they have faces that cannot be read through physiognomy," the fortune teller said, causing laughter.
Later, the fortune teller toured Park’s home and criticized its disorganized state, saying, "This house is a mess," while pointing out feng shui elements that needed improvement. Taking the advice to heart, Park decided to tidy up his home. That night, he secretly printed out a photo of Hyo-jung, believing her presence would bring him good fortune, and placed it inside his pillow before going to sleep, once again bringing laughter to the scene.
