Actor Park Bo Gum is used to commanding screens with calm charisma, but this time, he admits he was genuinely nervous.
In the upcoming episode of Bogum Magical, the actor steps into a brand-new role: barber for long hair and it quickly becomes his toughest challenge yet.
Episode 3 of the tvN variety program follows the team as their small neighborhood barbershop welcomes a new wave of young guests. What starts as a playful day quickly turns into a high-pressure moment for Park Bo Gum.
After successfully handling shorter cuts in previous episodes, he is now faced with his most complicated request so far trimming long hair that requires delicate precision and styling control.
Unlike a simple trim, long hair cutting demands balance, layering, and symmetry. Even a small mistake becomes instantly visible. Viewers will see Park Bo Gum visibly tense as he approaches the scissors, fully aware that expectations are high.

Midway through the haircut, the atmosphere shifts.
While one family member expresses clear satisfaction with the transformation, another reacts dramatically, jokingly exclaiming in disbelief. The moment turns into one of the episode’s biggest highlights — blending tension and humor in true variety-show fashion.
It is these unscripted reactions that give Bogum Magical its charm. The show is not about celebrity perfection. It is about sincerity, learning curves, and authentic human moments.
For years, Park Bo Gum has built his reputation through emotionally layered acting roles and polished public appearances. But in this show, audiences are seeing something different:
That vulnerability is resonating strongly with viewers.
Instead of relying on celebrity status, he approaches each haircut like a student determined to improve. The tension before cutting long hair is not exaggerated drama it is real pressure.

Bogum Magical continues to build its identity not as a flashy entertainment program, but as a warm, character-driven series. Each episode focuses on small but meaningful interactions.
This time, it is not about glamour. It is about growth.
And watching Park Bo Gum take a deep breath before cutting long hair may be one of the most relatable moments yet.
