GOT7 member and actor Park Jinyoung has personally addressed photos of him going about his daily life after being spotted on the Busan subway. From his distinctive fashion choices to his unusual reading habits, the photos have drawn considerable attention from fans.
Recently, photos claiming to show Park Jinyoung traveling alone in Busan and being spotted on the subway became a hot topic online. In the pictures, he can be seen reading a book while wearing wired earphones, without a mask. His unusual outfit, pairing short shorts with pink socks, also caught people’s attention.
What particularly surprised people was his habit of reading wherever he goes. The reading list shared alongside the photos reportedly contained as many as 28 books. From Osamu Dazai’s No Longer Human to works by Haruki Murakami, his selection revealed his distinctive literary interests.
Park Jinyoung later addressed the incident himself during a live broadcast. “I guess someone took a picture of me when I went to Busan. It was when I was riding the subway,” he said, confirming that he was the person in the photos circulating online.
He continued, “Not a single person recognized me, which hurt a little inside, but at least I was able to ride comfortably without a mask,” drawing laughter from viewers.
He also explained why he was wearing wired earphones at the time. “I got on the subway, and as it happened, my wireless earphones had run out of battery that day, so I hurriedly bought a wired pair and used those,” he said. “I had nothing else to do, so I read a book.”
He also addressed the pink socks that had attracted attention online. “Those are actually really stylish,” he confidently remarked, prompting another round of laughter.
Meanwhile, Park Jinyoung continues to pursue both music and acting as a member of GOT7 and an actor. He is currently appearing in tvN’s drama 100 Days of Deception, playing the role of Kim Tae Woong.
