In the sixth episode of tvN's variety show 'Bo-gum Magical,' aired on the 6th, Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Kwak Dong-yeon, along with special guest Rain, successfully operated a barbershop, ensuring customer satisfaction. They also extended their services beyond the shop, helping local residents and building strong bonds with the community.

The barbershop trio earned a total of 105,000 won, including tips from customers, marking the first time they surpassed 100,000 won in sales in just four days of operation, much to their delight.
On the fifth day of business, which started with heartfelt letters from children who visited on 'Bungeoppang Day,' world star Rain made a surprise appearance as a 'special part-timer' to support the barbershop trio, bringing a whole rack of beef ribs to show his warm-hearted support.
Rain quickly transformed into an enthusiastic and energetic 'passionate part-timer,' skillfully handling various tasks such as cleaning, giving hand massages, and making bungeoppang, effectively supporting the trio. He also joined Lee Sang-yi on an outing, where they repaired a torn greenhouse and moved a heavy washing machine, showcasing his versatility beyond the glamorous stage.
Novice barber Park Bo-gum not only styled customers' hair to lift their spirits but also added warmth with his thoughtful gestures. He meticulously recreated a hairstyle from a photo for a bachelor customer who wanted to impress his girlfriend, transforming him into the 'Muju Matt Damon' and proving his exceptional skills as a barber once again.
Understanding the bachelor's concern about his relationship becoming public in the village, Park Bo-gum politely asked other customers to keep it a secret, taking on the role of a secret keeper. His considerate nature, along with his skills, highlighted his complete package as a barber.
Lee Sang-yi also transformed into a Korean language teacher for a 92-year-old grandmother, strengthening his bond with the residents. Kwak Dong-yeon assisted Park Bo-gum by washing customers' hair and prepared a hearty kimchi stew and fried eggs to energize his brothers, adding vitality to the barbershop.
Towards the end of the episode, Park Bo-gum began cutting the hair of a regular elementary school student customer who wanted a medium-length cut. As Park Bo-gum picked up the clippers, viewers are curious to see if he can achieve the desired cut with them.
