John Park was one of the guests on the July 22 episode of 'Sketchbook.'

MC Yoo Hee Yeol introduced John Park with, "He's known as the scene stealer in the world of variety. But he shines ever brighter when he sings."

However, unlike the gentle image John Park gives off when he sings, his variety image could use some work. Yoo Hee Yeol broached this topic first, commenting, "This is your first 'Sketchbook' appearance in two years. Your nicknames have increased tremendously since the last time you were on. What exactly happened?" John Park pinned the blame on Lee Juk, saying, "It's because of Lee Juk. I did a program with him. It was a fake documentary. There was a script for it, and I think people honestly believed that I'm an idiot. After that, I gained a lot of nicknames."

Yoo Hee Yeol teased the singer, "People say you can't speak English even though you came from the States. Everyone knows that you're from there, so please validate the fact that you can speak English," proceeding to test John Park on his English.

Check out his performances below including a special rap to Eminem's "Without Me."

John really likes Eminem! He's always performing Em covers, like that time he did it on Running Man but unfortunately it was edited out because it was a rated m song lol!

The guy went to Northwestern--he can't be that much of an idiot in real life! (But the idiot persona DOES work for him on variety shows.)

If "to be" was added to make the title "Think him to be an idiot" I think it would be acceptable. It's not a phrase used often these days but it isn't incorrect.
