Actor Park Bo Gum is set to showcase a unique transformation as he opens a barbershop in the countryside for tvN’s upcoming variety program.

According to broadcasting insiders, Park Bo Gum will appear as a “barber” in the new show. His participation is particularly fitting, as during his military service in 2020 with the Navy’s Military Band and Honor Guard Cultural Promotion Corps, he earned a national technical certification as a licensed barber and served as a military barber. Fellow service member and Dragon Pony member Ahn Tae-gyu once shared on a broadcast that “Park Bo Gum personally cut recruits’ hair during training.”

The new variety program will follow Park as he runs a small rural barbershop for elderly locals, using his license as a foundation. Reports also suggest he has been preparing for additional beauty-related qualifications, raising anticipation for his next steps.
