The Drew Barrymore Show
Ashley Park just came dangerously close to exposing more than she had intended on national TV.
While promoting the upcoming season of her Netflix seriesEmily in Paris, Park sat down withDrew Barrymore, who called Park her "dear friend," onThe Drew Barrymore Show.
TheWedding Singerstar gushed over her guest, telling Park that her Michael Kors outfit was "to die for." She added, "That is stunning. I would love to wear something like that."
"Should we trade?" Park asked as she went to remove her jacket. Then something unexpected happened.
"Oh my God, it popped open!" Park said, noting her wardrobe malfunction and bursting out laughing.
The Drew Barrymore Show
Without missing a beat, Barrymore quipped, "By the way, my kind of show!"
OnEmily in Paris, Park portrays Mindy Chen, the best friend of Lily Collins' titular character.
Created by Darren Starr, who's also behindBeverly Hills, 90210andSex and the City, the rom-com depicts Emily's life as an American marketing executive transplanted to the land of the Eiffel Tower, croissants, and haute couture.
Park was in the news in October, too, afterher breakup with actor Paul Forman, who played her love interest, Nicolas "Nico" de Léon, until the characters broke up in the series' fourth season.
Park and Forman were together in 2024, when Park, who survived cancer as a teenager, disclosed that she'd suffered a medical emergency after a case of tonsillitis left her in septic shock.
"I pushed myself too far,"Park toldCosmopolitan. "I was not listening to my body. Now, I'm thinking about my future and asking, 'Am I putting myself in a position where I'm going to be able to do my best?' That starts with my health. I'm getting back to my old self. I look and feel better, and I'm trying to stay as stable as I can and keep the same energy that people expect."
She added, "As an adult, I understand what coping mechanisms are. Stuff I didn't know when I was a teenager. And even though both of the extreme illnesses I've had have been such flukes in a way — no one who's 15 should have cancer, and no one who's my age should have septic shock — I feel lucky, actually. It's been kind of a miracle how I've recovered."

While season 5 ofEmily in Pariswill take Emily to Rome, Park's Mindy is still very much a part of it.
"We see just different levels of their sisterhood and their friendship," she said this week onGood Morning America. "I think when you've known each other for five seasons or as many years as we have, their friendship is so beautiful, because they've really found a home in each other. But we see it kind of go through different trials and tribulations this season. And it was really fun for us to do."
The new season ofEmily in Parislaunches Dec. 18 on Netflix.
