Park Se-young uses lifelong amusement park pass won in fifth grade

During a broadcast of KBS 2TV's "The Return of Superman" on the 21st, actress Park Se-young revealed she used a lifelong amusement park pass won as a fifth-grade princess prize to visit the park with her 14-month-old daughter, Nael.

Actress Park Se-young revealed a special past where she won a grand prize in a princess selection contest in the fifth grade, earning her a lifelong pass to an amusement park. The gift she received by chance during her childhood has now turned into a way to create memories with her daughter. Interest has gathered around the story of Park Se-young visiting the amusement park for free with her 14-month-old daughter, Nael.

In the episode of KBS 2TV's "The Return of Superman" broadcast on the 21st, Park Se-young and her husband Kwak Jeong-uk appeared with their 14-month-old daughter, Nael. On this day, Park Se-young shared her recent status after returning to work after a long time, her parenting methods that clearly show her planned personality, and her daily life spent with her daughter, revealing the concerns and affection of a working mother.

Park Se-young spoke candidly about returning to work after four years while raising her 14-month-old daughter. As she has to manage both work and childcare simultaneously, she expressed concern about whether she could do both well. Her worries about whether her ambition might lead to failing to properly care for either side showed the realistic burden of a working mother trying to find a balance between work and family.

Her thorough, planned nature was also evident in her parenting. A "Power J" (a personality type that is highly planned), Park Se-young created a childcare handover sheet for her husband, Kwak Jeong-uk, which organized everything from how to use the baby bottle sterilizer to nap times and feeding methods down to the minute. The meticulously prepared materials contained the mother's meticulousness in trying to maintain the child's life rhythm. The sight of her preparing a schedule to request childcare drew laughter while demonstrating how much preparation is required to balance work and parenting.

On a holiday, she visited an amusement park with Nael. However, for Park Se-young, this was not just a simple outing location. Having entered using her lifelong pass, she revealed the unexpected history of participating in a princess selection contest hosted by the amusement park when she was in the fifth grade. She explained that the contest was held once a year, and the grand prize winner was given the opportunity to participate in a parade along with the lifelong pass.

“Since it is a place I can go for a lifetime, I really wanted to come here with my child once they were born,” Park Se-young stated. The prize she received from the contest in her childhood did not remain a simple memory or souvenir, but led to a special time with her child years later. It added meaning in that a gift she could not have anticipated as an elementary school student became a channel for making memories with her daughter after a long time has passed.

After enjoying the rides with Nael, Park Se-young expressed her affection for the time spent with her child. “I try to make eye contact with Nael and spend time with her even just a little,” she said, adding, “I think Nael knows that.” She further expressed her wish to continue building memories with her daughter whenever she has time. Her heart as a mother, trying not to miss moments of connection with her child despite a busy schedule, was evident.

Park Se-young's outing to the amusement park, which began with the special luck of a lifelong pass, ultimately became a time to gift new memories to her daughter. It is as if she is now sharing the joy she enjoyed in her childhood with her child as a mother. For Park Se-young, who is finding a new balance while balancing work and childcare, this visit remained a meaningful day where a gift received long ago led to present happiness.
