Singer Park Chang-geun recently revealed his firm life philosophy and humble daily routines through a live broadcast. This article summarizes the "Aesthetics of Emptiness" and the sincere life attitude he pursues as a human being, rather than as the flamboyant artist on stage.

The Aesthetic of Emptiness and Conviction: "Humility is only for those who deserve it" Park Chang-geun confessed that at the start of this live broadcast, he let go of technical greed and brought changes to his sound. He stated, "When I keep trying to stack things up, nothing works out. I know I have to empty things out, but it's truly difficult," emphasizing the importance of "emptiness" in both music and life.

In particular, his firm conviction regarding human relationships left a strong impression on fans. He shared his philosophy of "selective humility," stating, "I am humble only to those who know how to receive humility," and revealed that he responds more strongly to rude individuals. This highlights his persona as a grounded artist with a clear internal compass, rather than just a "nice singer."

The Philosophy Behind the Hideout 'Geun-il-rang': "A space for self-talk" The cafe he operates, 'Geun-il-rang,' is a physical manifestation of this philosophy. Park Chang-geun expressed his hope that this cafe would not be just a place to drink coffee, but a sanctuary where people can step away from their hectic daily lives and "have a conversation with themselves."

Finding joy in small, ordinary things rather than grand and luxurious ones, he evaluated the small values of daily life highly, saying that even his conversations with fans about the cafe were "more interesting because they are small and simple."

Daily Routine: Running at Bulgwangcheon and Bonding with Dog 'Ttoni' Park Chang-geun’s daily life is far from glamorous. While he may not leave the house for days when immersed in work, he maintains a healthy routine of running at Bulgwangcheon to manage his physical strength. His effort to stay active despite suffering from rhinitis and asthma speaks to his sincerity.

The grand finale of his home-live was the time spent with his dog, 'Ttoni.' Seeing him bring out a sleeping Ttoni to greet the audience provided a glimpse into his warm daily life. Especially when he explained his unique "putting-to-sleep routine" of wrapping Ttoni in a towel, he showed the side of a doting "Ttoni’s dad."

"A Live Opened Like Homework, a Night Filled with Songs" Despite his tired appearance, he opened the live broadcast saying it was "like doing homework," yet he ultimately responded to fans' requests with several soulful live performances. Singing songs like 'You Are Still a Girl' and 'An Outing,' Park Chang-geun continued to communicate until late at night, demonstrating both his responsibility as an artist and his affection for his fans.

Park Chang-geun’s philosophy was never far away. Approaching the essence by emptying, reflecting on oneself in a small hideout, and cherishing a plain daily life with a pet dog—these are the greatest strengths that sustain singer Park Chang-geun.
