Park Bo-gum graced the cover of fashion magazine Elle’s October issue, capturing beautiful moments of himself as both an actor and a young man.
After the photoshoot, an interview followed. Park Bo-gum, who views each day as a decisive moment, shared, “Every day is a moment that won’t come back, and today is no different. I’m grateful that my life is captured through photos like this, and answering various questions today helped me discover new things about myself. I’m still getting to know myself.“
Currently filming JTBC’s drama “Good Boy”, in which he plays Dong-ju, a former boxing gold medalist turned police officer of Violent Crimes Special Forces through the special recruitment system for medalists, he talked about his experience, “Like the energetic Dong-ju, I’m living diligently every day. There are action scenes in every episode, so it’s not an easy task, but I’m enjoying it because it’s a new challenge. I pray that all the actors and staff can stay healthy and safe until the end.“
When asked about his transformation that made him look like an actual national athlete, Park Bo-gum explained, “To look like a national representative, I controlled my diet and increased my muscle mass. It wasn’t easy at first, working with just protein and vegetables, but I’m doing my best in the given environment. I truly respect those who maintain healthy muscles through consistent diet and exercise.”
When asked what he considers a “gold medal” moment, or the most glorious and victorious moment as an actor, he replied, “It would be when a project I appeared in is loved and people remember the name of the character I played.”
