The 485th episode of KBS2's 'The Return of Superman (hereafter referred to as 'Shodol'), which aired on the 27th, was decorated with 'Eternal Super Hero', and the behind-the-scenes of Park Joo-ho's retirement ceremony was revealed.
Park Joo-ho entered the soccer life retirement game with a nervous mind. Na-eun and Geon-hoo acted as cute 'escort kids' and stood by their father, Joo-ho Park, as they entered the stadium. Park Joo-ho, who entered the stadium holding the children's hands, suppressed his emotions and held back tears. In an interview with the production team, Park Joo-ho said, "Is this a dream or real?
Naeun and Geonhu even disarmed the referee's heart with their loveliness. The referee melted into Naeun and Geonhoo's affectionate eyes toward their father and said, "You shouldn't warn your father (Park Joo-ho)," and made a joke by throwing a laugh.
Chingeonnavli formed a fantastic cheering trio and cheered with all their heart and soul. Zingunnavely shouted "I love you Park Joo-ho! Fighting Dad!" Their roaring voices and passionate support as if they were about to take hold of the arena brought a sense of satisfaction.
Park Joo-ho scored the opening goal. But unfortunately, we lost the match. After the game, Park Joo-ho spoke on the ground about his retirement and finally showed tears.
Park Joo-ho said, "I am grateful to my parents and family who helped me to be an athlete, Anna, who worked hard to raise children after coming to Korea, and Naeun, Kun-woo, and Jin-woo." He continued, "I couldn't have a fun time because I was busy, but now I will live in a place that needs me for my family and myself. I was happy and grateful." In the locker room, he thanked his teammates, saying, "I think I could finish well thanks to you."
Returning home, Park Joo-ho was presented with a 'number 6' shaped cake and a bouquet of flowers from the children. Park Joo-ho's uniform number is 6. Naeun read the letter she wrote herself, saying, "Dad worked hard and if he was happy, I'm happy too." Park Joo-ho was moved again.
In an interview with the production team, Park Joo-ho expressed his affection for the children, saying, "Let's go on a trip with my dad and have a lot of fun. I'll do my best in anything."
