Career
He was born in Suseong-ri, Jeongju-eup, Jeongeup-gun, Jeollabuk-do during the Japanese colonial period in 1940 (currently, Suseong-dong, Jeongeup-si). After graduating from middle school, he studied at Whimoon High School in Seoul. He was active in the theater department at Whimoon High School. Then He majored in theater and film at Seorabeol Arts College (predecessor of Chung-Ang University College of Arts), and became a member of the National Theater Company after graduation. Park debuted in 1963 KBS 3rd public recruitment talent.[5]
Variety Show
In 2013, cable channel tvN launched the travel-reality show Grandpas Over Flowers (the title parodies the manga Boys Over Flowers). It marked producer Na Young-seok's first variety show since leaving KBS, where he was best known for creating the first season of hit variety show 2 Days & 1 Night.[6] Defying a youth-centered entertainment industry, the hit show stars four veteran actors in their 70s, Lee Soon-jae, Shin Goo and Baek Il-seob, with their porter actor Lee Seo-jin as they go on a backpacking tour of France, Taiwan and Spain.[7][8][9]
The first season aired from July 5 to August 16, 2013 with seven episodes. It was filmed in Paris, Strasbourg, Bern, and Lucerne.[10] It was immediately followed by the airing of the second season from August 23 to September 20, 2013. The five episodes were filmed in Taiwan,[11][12][13] with an additional two-episode special featuring unaired footage on September 27 and October 4, 2013. The third season aired from March 7 to May 2, 2014 with eight episodes. It was filmed in Spain, specifically the cities of Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Ronda, and Madrid.[14][15] Shin Goo also went on a solo trip to Lisbon. The fourth season aired from March 27 to May 8, 2015 with seven episodes. It was filmed in Dubai and Greece, with Choi Ji-woo joining as a second travel guide and assistant.[16][17][18]
After a few years' break, a fifth season titled Grandpa Over Flowers Returns aired from June 29 to August 24, 2018 with nine episodes. Actor Kim Yong-gun joined the cast for the trip filmed in Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.[19]
