Park Min-cheol, a lawyer known for his appearances on JTBC's 'Divorce Counseling Camp,' has left Kim & Chang after 18 years.
In a recent video titled 'I Have Left Kim & Chang' on his YouTube channel 'Park Min-cheol's Crazy,' he shared, 'After commuting to Gwanghwamun for 22 years and working at Kim & Chang for 18 years, I will no longer be coming here in the mornings.'
He expressed the emotional weight of his departure, stating, 'I have experienced many separations in life, but leaving Kim & Chang feels like parting with a significant portion of my life, not just one person.' He paused as he reflected on leaving his TMT team.
During a farewell party organized by his junior colleagues, one lawyer remarked, 'There are over 1,400 Korean lawyers at Kim & Chang, but there will never be another like Park Min-cheol. While Kim & Chang is not known for its warmth, working with him was always enjoyable, and he took great care of his juniors.'
In the video, Park also greeted the building's staff and the cafeteria workers, saying, 'Honestly, the thing I will miss most about leaving the company is not commuting to Gwanghwamun.'
He explained his decision to become independent, saying, 'I wanted to stand next to people, not just beside corporations. I have reached a point where I can no longer accept following others' orders and instructions.'
Park mentioned that he received offers from several law firms but decided to pursue his own path. He plans to continue his broadcasting activities after becoming independent.
'I feel lucky in my broadcasting career,' he said, adding, 'As I was preparing to start my practice, I got the opportunity to appear on 'You Quiz on the Block,' which helped raise my profile. I aim to succeed on YouTube and become a king in that space.'
Park gained recognition for providing legal advice to couples facing divorce crises on 'Divorce Counseling Camp.' He has continued his broadcasting career with appearances on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny,' and 'My Little Old Boy.'
