Appearing as a guest on the December 2 episode of the YouTube channel “Director Go Chang Seok,” Park Seo Joon opened up about harsh comments he’s received regarding his appearance and how little they affect him.

The episode, titled “Park Seo Joon… Doesn’t He Look More Like a Supporting Actor?”, featured a relaxed and candid conversation over drinks between Park Seo Joon and actor-director Go Chang Seok, alongside music artist O3ohn.

During the chat, O3ohn remarked, “Park Seo Joon is an underrated actor when it comes to acting skills his looks often overshadow his talent.”

Surprisingly, Park Seo Joon responded, “I actually get criticized about my looks the most. But I don’t really care.”

Go Chang Seok was taken aback, reacting with disbelief: “Did I hear that right? Seo Joon gets criticized for his appearance?”

O3ohn chimed in to explain that some netizens might say things like, “He doesn’t really have the visuals for a lead role,” emphasizing that the internet is full of such varied and sometimes baseless opinions.

The humorous tone continued as Go jokingly warned O3ohn, “I can’t take responsibility for what you’re saying,” prompting laughter. O3ohn fired back playfully, “You criticized directors Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan Wook last time,” to which Go dramatically replied, “It’s fine they’re never going to cast me anyway.”

The conversation wrapped with Go’s trademark blunt humor: “Didn’t I already say it? When an actor’s performance feels off, it’s all the director’s fault.”

Park Seo Joon’s calm and composed take on online criticism shows his maturity in navigating fame cementing his place as a grounded actor who lets his work speak for itself.
