In newly released preview photos, Park is seen lying on a treatment bed, jokingly confessing, “I came to remove this.” She then surprises the crew by revealing she has had more than 300 of these removed so far, raising curiosity about what exactly she is referring to.
After the procedure, Park walks the streets without makeup, heading to her next stop — a women’s hair loss clinic. Despite a body profile photoshoot earlier this year, she confesses, “It took me a long time to accept it,” revealing that hair loss has been a personal struggle.

Park says she had been taking hair-care supplements but wasn’t sure whether treatment was necessary. To get a clear answer, she underwent diagnostic testing, including hair imaging, stress evaluation and microscopic examination of her scalp and strands. Her reaction — shocked and flustered — suggests unexpected results.
Listening to the doctor’s explanation, Park reflects, “I’m fine with belly fat and back fat, but scalp fat felt shameful,” drawing both laughs and sympathy. She also delves into common myths about hair loss, asking a slew of questions to separate fact from fiction.
