Park Bo-gum Earns Hairdresser License Ahead of 'Bogum Magical 2'

Actor Park Bo-gum sees his close friend Go Kyung-pyo's father more often than he sees Go himself. The reason is the food.

The story came out in a preview clip for "Bogum Magical 2," which tvN released through its official channel on Nov. 8. The clip shows the cast at their first meeting to plan the show's second salon.

In the video, Park Bo-gum mentioned that Go's father runs a restaurant. "That's right," Go said. "A makguksu place." Makguksu is a cold buckwheat noodle dish popular in South Korea.

Go then shared a story about his friend and his dad. "Bo-gum is really funny. He sees my dad more often than he sees me," he said. "He goes to the restaurant to eat."

Actor Lee Sang-yi asked, "What's that about? Is it because it's that good?" Go answered simply: "Yeah." The room broke into laughter at the idea that Park keeps visiting his friend's father for the noodles.

Park Bo-gum and Go Kyung-pyo have been friends for 15 years, going back to their rookie days. In the new season, the two team up with Lee Sang-yi to run a hair salon together.

"Bogum Magical 2" follows the trio as they open a salon in a small seaside village in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, and get to know the locals. Park Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi ran the first location in Muju last season, Go joins this time as a new member.

To get ready for the second location, Park earned a national hairdresser certification. He also took charge of planning the salon himself, from the interior to the business hours and the prices.

Lee Sang-yi, who offered free nail care in Season 1, will run a paid nail service this season. He also plans to add pedicures.

Go will handle the cooking. He grew up comfortable in the kitchen thanks to his father's restaurant. He said he even practiced making sulppang, a Korean steamed bread made with rice wine, and Turkish ice cream for the village residents.

Park shared what he hopes the new salon will feel like. "I hope the second location feels like you've come on a trip," he said. "I hope the joy of a beautiful change at 'Bogum Magical' makes our customers' day truly magical."

"Bogum Magical 2" premieres on Nov. 29 at 7:45 p.m. KST.
