I believe no one could deny Park Bo Gum's charm, I love him not only as an actor, but as a person as well. One thing good about Korean Variety Show is that you get to see the other side of all the actors, actresses and singers when they're off as a person. You can literally tells the personalities of the person.

I went on to search more about him, trying to re-watch every of his acting and appearance. Found out that Soompi has made a very good compilation about Park Bo Gum! :)






While Park Bo Gum is now recognized as a talented actor, many are surprised to know that he is musically gifted as well! He began studying the piano when he was five, and always wanted to become a singer-songwriter. While he was in school, he sent a video of himself playing the piano and singing to many different talent agencies, and at one point he actually became a vocal trainee.

Not only is he talented and thoughtful, Park Bo Gum is also humble about his accomplishments, and thankful for all of the love he has received. He tends to be overwhelmed by his fans’ love and is often brought to tears at fan meetings, where he profusely thanks fans for their support! He also shared at a fan meet that he enjoys taking the subway, and he sees no issue taking it as it is always punctual.

Once, an employee of Park Bo Gum’s agency shared how he insisted on hailing a taxi for the reluctant actor, only to turn around to see him hightailing it to the nearest subway station exit. Always keeping it real – that’s Park Bo Gum.





Park Bo Gum gets shocked again when Red Velvet’s Irene pranks him during a live broadcast for April Fools’. The two of them were emcees for “Music Bank” and Irene picked the perfect moment to trick her innocent partner.

2015 was an important year for this young actor, as he starred in “Coin Locker Girl” “I Remember You,” and “Reply 1988.” His popularity rose exponentially, and he was cast as the male lead in his upcoming drama “Moonlight Drawn By Clouds.” It’s nice to see him as a main cast member!

He grabs our attention and hearts, whether he portrays a hardworking and innocent baduk champion, a psychopathic serial killer, or an optimistic student stuck in debt.
