Reflecting on his time on Produce 101, the star commented that he was only 19 years old [Korean age] then and is now 23. While watching the video from the show, Park Ji Hong said that he thought, “It must be difficult” and “I have worked hard.” He continued, “I’ve been watching a lot of old videos recently. I see how hard I work. I feel like you can see my determination in my eyes. “

Park Ji Hoon also portrayed Yo Young’s character from his latest drama, “Spring is green in the distance.” He shared, “There are always a lot of people around him, and he looks popular, but he doesn’t have any real friends. He also has childhood trauma. Due to this trauma, he began to live alone. Since this is such an essential part of the story, I can’t share many details, but he is a wounded hero. He is happy when he is with other people, but he is dark and likes to beckon when he is home alone. “

Sharing his similar experience, he said, “While talking to the director, I said that [Yeo Joon] has aspects that are similar to mine. Even though I always smile in front of my fans, I can’t always smile. When I am alone, I feel a kind of emptiness. “

Park Ji Hoon said about his role models: “When I go through changes, my role models change too. After releasing Wanna One, Park Ji Hoon started promoting Solo in 2019. When asked if it was comfortable, Park Ji Hoon replied, “In the beginning, there was a difficult aspect. But, I tried to do it myself after laughing and talking to so many members…”

The interviewer noticed his changing expression, and Park Ji Hoon continued, “It wasn’t complicated until I thought, ‘I can’t do this alone. “It was only tricky because those who were with me were no longer around. They’ve been with me longer than my family, and when they suddenly leave, I can’t help but think about them all the time. “
