With the many romcoms and kisses he’s had on screen, he’s dubbed as the ‘Rom com Master’ or ‘Rom com Bulldozer’, along with the ‘Best Kisser’ among many fans. So today, we’re turning the spotlight from his memorable characters to him. Here are fun facts we’re sure you didn’t know about. At least, not all of them.

His first appearance was in a music video, not a movie: Park Seo Joon’s ‘The Perfect Game’ was his debut movie, yes. But it wasn’t his first-ever public appearance. The first time he came on the screens was in a music video in Bang Yong Guk’s song, ‘I Remember’ in 2011. Even though much skinnier and younger, Park Seo Joon definitely held his charm (especially with those intense eyes) from the start.
He gave way for his childhood dream to support his younger brother:
The actor is the eldest in his household with two younger brothers. His childhood dream was to be a baseball player and so was one of his brother’s. So he became the elder brother and let that dream go. Not only because he wanted to support him but also because his father thought that his brother suited the sport more than him. Well, we’re glad he didn’t take that up and ended up performing at his junior high school, only to realise that he wanted to pursue acting!

His celebrity nickname is Park Sundae:

Park Seo Joon’s ‘She Was Pretty’ co-star Hwang Jung Eum gave him the nickname of ‘Park Sundae’. And no, it does not mean the ice cream sundae. Rather, sundae is a type of thick blood sausage in the Korean cuisine. She gave this nickname to him because of his thick lips!
