During the March 27 broadcast of the tvN variety show The Village Barber, Park Bo Gum, alongside Lee Sang Yi and Kwak Dong Yeon, continued their experience running a countryside barbershop and bonding with local residents.
While visiting a 91-year-old grandmother for a house call haircut, the mood suddenly shifted when she brought up marriage. She told him, “You should get married now. What’s the point of life if you don’t?” Caught off guard, Park Bo Gum jokingly replied, “The joy of eating delicious food?” before quickly adding, “I’ll get married,” and changing the subject, drawing laughter from viewers.
Beyond the lighthearted exchange, the episode was filled with emotional moments. Park Bo Gum listened attentively to a village elder’s painful story about losing his daughter, later reflecting, “It’s not an easy story to share… I felt grateful that he opened his heart to us.”
He also showed genuine care for the elderly residents, reassuring the grandmother during the house visit and even promising, “I’ll come again tomorrow,” highlighting his sincerity and kindness. As their time in the village neared its end, the cast members grew increasingly emotional. Park Bo Gum was visibly touched by the connections they had built, even tearing up over small but meaningful interactions with residents.
The experience left a deep impression on all three actors, with moments of shared meals, conversations, and farewells emphasizing the strong bonds formed in just a short time. While the unexpected “marriage declaration” added humor to the episode, it also reflected a relatable reality, even top stars like Park Bo Gum cannot avoid questions about settling down.
