Speculation Suddenly Surfaces that Park Bo Gum Had a Secret Crush on Hyeri for Almost 10 Years

Park Bo Gum has found himself in the spotlight, this time due to some subtle signs hinting at a long-standing affection for Hyeri, which seemed to have slipped under the radar for many.

It turns out that on Park Bo Gum’s official Weibo account, there’s an interesting detail that caught the attention of Chinese netizens. He still has a photo of himself and Hyeri as his background image. More specifically, it’s a photo of their characters Choi Taek and Duk Sun in “Reply 1988.”

Interestingly, this photo has been on Park Bo Gum’s Weibo since the drama first aired. And even after nearly a decade, it remains unchanged. Some netizens believe this suggests that Park Bo Gum may have harbored feelings for Hyeri all this time, both on-screen and off.

However, many find this speculation ridiculous, because it’s likely that Park Bo Gum simply forgot his Weibo account password, or perhaps even forgot that he has a Weibo account at all, let alone remembering to change the background photo.

Earlier, when news about Hyeri, Ryu Jun Yeol, and Han So Hee surfaced, many netizens mentioned Park Bo Gum. They felt that in “Reply 1988,” Duk Sun’s choice of Choi Taek over Jung Hwan (played by Ryu Jun Yeol) was the right one. Fans praised Choi Taek as always being dependable, warm-hearted towards Duk Sun, more than Jung Hwan was.

So now that Hyeri finds herself single again, many fans are once again rooting for the Duk Sun – Choi Taek ship, hoping that between the actress and Park Bo Gum, a real-life romance might blossom after “Reply 1988.”
