Live streaming of Park Hae-jin’s Chinese show prep hits 1mln views
SEOUL: More than a million people watched the behind-thescenes footage of Korean actor Park Hae-jin's appearance on a Chinese entertainment show, according to his publicist.
Park's every word and gesture was broadcast live on the Chinese social media website Weibo in the run-up to the prerecorded session of “Jing's Talk Show” last Friday, HNS HQ said.
The video racked up 1.34 million views as of Tuesday, with the episode to air on Chongqing TV on June 16.
During the recording session, Park discussed the past 10 years of his acting career and stories behind the filming of 'Cheese in the Trap', a South Korean cable TV series that he starred in, which will be made into a movie next year, according to the publicist.
Park recently held a fan meeting in Beijing, and is scheduled to continue his Asia tour with stops in Taiwan next Thursday and Thailand on July 31.
In unrelated news, K-pop singer Se7en will resume his career in Japan on July 7 with the new single album “Rainbow”, his agency said Friday.
He stopped performing in Korea in 2013, when he was embroiled in a prostitution scandal. It was alleged he visited an adult massage parlour while doing mandatory military duty.
Police questioned him but the case did not proceed because of a lack of evidence.
There are no plans for a Korean comeback.
His agency revealed a 30second trailer of his new music video on YouTube.
“The song represents Se7en's new beginning,” said Victor Entertainment. “It sends a message to cheer up people who are facing challenges.”
Se7en made his debut with album “Just Listen” in 2003.
