Park Jin Young’s Bag Receives Attention?
One would think that Park Jin Young’s bags would be as hit as his music, but it seems like not everyone agrees? Park Jin Young tweeted this photo, and wrote “Everybody teases me with my bag…”
The hit maker tweeted, “For my 1 night 2 days trip to Hong Kong, instead of bags, I took this plastic bag with me, I’m being teased for it now ㅜㅠ.” Followed by the rest in English, “Everybody teases me with my bag that I carried for my Hongkong trip ㅜㅠ”
Well, if you think about it, it’s quite convenient to just bring a plastic bag on a trip. It’s a little funny and cute based on the fact that it’s Park Jin Young who is doing it. However, doesn’t this give him the non-celebrity factor that links him closer to everyone else?
Park has been receiving much love for his debut as an actor in ‘Dream High’. The singer and producer showcased the character of ‘Teacher Yang’ with very good acting, which pleased a lot of fans.
So, what do you think of his bag?
