Park Bo-gum Shines as a Barber in New TV Show 'Bo-gum Magical'

Actor Kwak Dong-yeon praises Park Bo-gum's skills as a barber.

On the 29th, the production presentation for tvN's variety show 'Bo-gum Magical' was held online. Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, Kwak Dong-yeon, and PD Son Soo-jung attended the event.

'Bo-gum Magical' is a program centered around Park Bo-gum, who holds a national barber license, and tells a magical story set in a rural village. Park Bo-gum takes on the main role of 'hair', while Lee Sang-yi handles 'nail care and customer service', and Kwak Dong-yeon is in charge of 'cooking', providing strong support. They have been actively involved in everything from selecting the location to remodeling for about a year, showing exceptional dedication to the program.

Lee Sang-yi praised Park Bo-gum, saying, "He cuts well." He added, "Our ultimate goal is the barbershop, and he does a clean cut. The PD also got a haircut, and I asked for a trim, which I was very pleased with."

Kwak Dong-yeon also commented on Park Bo-gum's skills, saying, "He cuts well and doesn't give up. He practices late into the night, and if you look around, many of the production staff have had their hair cut by Bo-gum." He humorously corrected himself by saying, "He fixed our hair," bringing laughter. He further added, "It seems he has done a lot of research to meet the needs of various age groups and genders."

Park Bo-gum revealed, "I studied for a barber license because I wanted to provide services not only to men but also to women. I learned the skills to style women's hair." He continued, "The most challenging part was handling the hair of elderly people with perms. It wasn't easy. Their hair was bent, and if I cut it wrong, those who were smiling might end up crying, so that was the hardest part."

'Bo-gum Magical' premieres on the 30th at 8:40 PM.
