In a recent episode of MBC's "King of Masked Singer," singer Jinwook showcased his star-studded connections with famous actors like Song Kang-ho and Yoo Joon-sang.
During the air date on September 15, the episode featured masked singers performing solo songs to challenge the reigning champion, "Under the Sea." Jinwook, performing as "Parkha Candy," revealed nostalgic photos as hints about his identity, highlighting his connections with notable actors during his childhood. This led audiences to speculate he might be a child actor due to the affectionate photos with industry veterans.
After performing, unfortunately, he was eliminated in the second round, revealing his true identity as the talented trot singer Jinwook. Reflecting on his past, Jinwook shared that he began his acting career at a young age, featuring in programs like "TV Kindergarten One Two Three" and working on notable projects like "The Fox and Cotton Candy" and the film "YMCA Baseball Team" alongside his actor friends.
