Park Gu-yoon reveals why he hid his profession as a singer at the family meeting... "Parents-in-law mistook me for a mart owner"

Singer Park Gu-yoon revealed an anecdote about how he was mistaken for a mart owner during a family meeting before his marriage.

In a video uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Dongchimi' on September 30, 2026, Park Gu-yoon recounted the situation during the family meeting he experienced while dating before marriage. At that time, instead of his profession as a singer, Park Gu-yoon was known to his in-laws as a mart owner.

"I thought he was a mart owner, but he's a singer" The embarrassing family meeting

Park Gu-yoon revealed that during his dating days, whenever he received many local specialties, he sent them all to his in-laws' house. He explained that at the time, the in-laws knew their daughter was dating, but they believed Park Gu-yoon's profession was a mart owner.

Later, as they arranged a meal before the marriage, the family meeting took place at a high-end traditional Korean restaurant. According to the remarks in the video, the father-in-law and mother-in-law perceived Park Gu-yoon as a mart owner at the time. Park Gu-yoon said that because he was nervous, he could not eat properly, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law continued to receive phone calls during the meal.

When his wife revealed the fact that Park Gu-yoon is a singer during the meal, the reaction of the in-laws changed. The video reported that when the wife said, "Dad, he's a singer you like," the father-in-law and mother-in-law, after learning he was a singer, appeared to find him cute while also becoming embarrassed with red faces. At the time, the in-laws expressed surprise at the fact that the son-in-law they thought was a mart owner was actually a singer.

"Worried the daughter might suffer" The in-laws' concerns and their current relationship

After the family meeting, the in-laws also expressed concerns regarding Park Gu-yoon's profession. According to Park Gu-yoon's remarks, the position of the in-laws conveyed through his wife at the time was that they were worried the daughter might suffer because a singer's schedule is not fixed.

Park Gu-yoon mentioned the standard of 'ordinariness' desired by the in-laws, continuing with the point that even if various professional groups such as specialists or police are mentioned, the standard of ordinariness is ultimately ambiguous.

However, contrary to these initial concerns, Park Gu-yoon currently maintains a close relationship with his in-laws. Park Gu-yoon stated that since there is only a daughter in the in-laws' family, he feels like he gives them the feeling of an eldest son.
