Not Just Handsome—Park Bogum’s Barber Skills Are Winning Hearts on TV

Actor Park Bogum is proving that his charm goes far beyond acting.

On the latest episode of Bogum Magical, the star impressed viewers with his surprising barber skills earning praise for both his talent and his warm personality.

A real barber with a national license

The tvN variety show follows Park Bogum and his close friends Lee Sang-yi and Kwak Dong-yeon as they run a small barbershop in a quiet rural village.

Unlike most variety show concepts, the haircut scenes are no joke. Park Bogum actually holds a national barber certification, allowing him to provide real haircuts to visitors who stop by the shop.

And during the latest broadcast, viewers got to see just how skilled he has become.

The moment that won over viewers

In the episode, a young regular customer who had often visited the barbershop returned for a haircut.

The child wanted a style transformation to a medium-length haircut, and Park Bogum carefully took on the challenge.

Using professional tools including clippers he showed the haircut techniques he had practiced, creating a completely new look for the young guest.

It was the child’s first-ever barbershop experience, and Park Bo-gum made sure it became a memorable one.

Fans call him “the kindest barber”

Beyond the haircut itself, what really touched viewers was the actor’s kindness.

Park Bo-gum patiently talked with the child throughout the process, making sure they felt comfortable and excited about the new hairstyle.

Many viewers later commented online that he looked like a “real neighborhood barber you’d want to visit again.”

Nonstop energy even after filming

The show also highlighted Park Bogum’s famously energetic personality.

At one point, singer Rain appeared as a one-day part-time helper and grilled meat for the group. Wanting to help, Park Bogum immediately jumped in to set up ingredients and even ran around gathering chairs so everyone could eat comfortably.

Later, he entertained viewers with a hearty barbecue feast alongside his castmates.

From mountain climbing to playing with village kids

Even on their day off, the trio often nicknamed “검.동.이” (GgeomDongIi) by fans kept the energy going.

They challenged themselves with a hike up Deogyusan National Park, facing unexpected snow and strong winds along the way.

Despite the harsh weather, Park Bo-gum cheerfully led the group while humming songs and constantly checking on his friends.

After returning from the hike, he was still full of energy playing sled games with local children in the village and chatting warmly with residents.

A show that highlights Park Bo-gum’s real personality

As the episode ended, Park Bo-gum quietly wrote in the shop’s daily log, reflecting on the people he met and the memories created through the barbershop.

The moment reminded viewers why the show has been gaining attention: it reveals a natural, thoughtful side of the actor that fans rarely get to see.

With his combination of professional barber skills, endless energy, and genuine kindness, Park Bogum continues to prove why he remains one of Korea’s most beloved stars.

“Bogum Magical” airs every Friday at 8:35 PM KST on tvN.
