Park Bo-gum makes a new start as a musician in Ireland

JTBC's new entertainment program 'My Name is Gabriel' released the main poster containing the 'lives of others' of four actors Park Myung-soo, Yeom Hye-ran, Ji Chang-wook, and Park Bo-gum.

'My Name is Gabriel', which will be aired for the first time at 8:50 pm on Friday, June 21, is a new program presented by production company TEO on JTBC. It is a reality entertainment show where you live the 'real life of that person' for 72 hours under the name of one of the 8 billion people in the world in a place where no one knows you. Park Myung-soo (Chiang Mai, Thailand), Yeom Hye-ran (Chongqing, China), Ji Chang-wook (Guadalajara, Mexico), Park Bo-gum (Dublin, Ireland), and Gabi (Mexico City, Mexico) were named to the first lineup, raising expectations.

Meanwhile, the main poster released shows Park Myung-soo, Yeom Hye-ran, Ji Chang-wook, and Park Bo-gum smiling brightly and showing off their respective poses. Behind the members, images reminiscent of each country, such as Chinese hot pot and Thai mango, are placed, adding to the exotic feeling and excitement.

The presence of ‘AI Gabriel’ in the poster is also an eye-catching point. 'AI Gabriel' is a special AI program that sets the most suitable life for you through stars' pre-interview answers. While AI Gabriel analysis raises curiosity about what kind of life each star will match among the world's 8 billion people, the poster's images of the members living other people's lives are even more curious.

From the tall visual Park Bo-gum holding a sheet of music to Park Myung-soo heading somewhere on a motorcycle, some of the revealed rice cakes(?) are stimulating curiosity about what kind of life they will live through the poster alone. In particular, the phrase in the poster, '72 hours of living as a stranger in an unfamiliar country and with an unfamiliar name,' makes their story even more curious and raises expectations for the first broadcast.

In the previously released teaser, the daily lives of Thailand's Park Myung-soo and Ireland's Park Bo-gum were revealed, leading to a heated response. And the third teaser released last week attracts attention by showing Yeom Hye-ran and Ji Chang-wook perfectly adapting to local life in Chongqing, China and Guadalajara, Mexico, respectively. In addition, Gabi's appearance performing with passionate dance in Mexico City, Mexico was revealed, raising expectations even more.

Meanwhile, 'My Name is Gabriel' is a program presented by a collaboration between producer Kim Tae-ho, who has been presenting various projects since the establishment of the production company TEO, and producer Lee Tae-kyung, who directed 'Amazing Saturday' and 'Hyemiri Yechaepa'. Defconn and Davichi (Lee Hae-ri and Kang Min-kyung) will join as main MCs, and the show will premiere on JTBC at 8:50 pm on Friday, June 21.
