My Take
For me, Park Myung-soo is one of those rare comedians who turned being a perpetual second banana into an art form. His run on Infinite Challenge, where he leaned hard into the loud, grumpy, money-obsessed persona, is what cemented him for me. What I respect is that he never pretended to be the smooth one. He plays the abrasive uncle who somehow becomes the heart of the room. Add the radio hosting on Date at 2 o'clock and the occasional music single, and you get a guy who outlasts trends by being unapologetically himself. Decades in and still relevant; that staying power impresses me.
