According to Insight, interest in actor Park Bo Gum, who captured the hearts of female leads in the first half of the hit drama When Life Is for You with the innocent male lead Yang Gwan Sik, is rising.
Meanwhile, a YouTuber who trained with Park Bo Gum at the naval training camp revealed an interesting story about the actor through a newly posted video.
Park Bo Gum enlisted in the 699th unit of the Korean Navy in August 2020 and was discharged in April 2022. YouTuber YouTube channel operator Saranghe joined the same unit as Park Bo Gum.
At the beginning of the video, this YouTuber shared that he watched the movie When Life Is for You a Tangerine because Park Bo Gum played the main role. His love for the actor was formed when he had the opportunity to undergo basic training with Park Bo Gum during his military service.
The entertainment industry is often full of controversy, but Park Bo Gum doesnt have that. He is known in the entertainment industry as a good person, right? But when you meet him in real life, he is even better than you can imagine, said YouTuber Saranghe.
He emphasized: Park Bo Gum never swears or says vulgar words. He then told a famous story in the army about Park Bo Gum.
A rookie was given a coaching bonus for writing a curse on the coach. After that, the coach questioned the whole team: "Do you dare to disregard the excellent coaches who are well-trained and carefully selected? Don't you respect us? okay, from now on, there will be no more giving in to anyone. Does anyone complain? Does anyone feel uncomfortable?".
In a broken voice, the coach continued: There is no need to feel resentful. Is there anyone here who dares to confirm that they have gone through a training course but have never cursed or spoken profanely? Surely there were none. If anything, raise your arms! I will exempt that person from being a coach! ".
While the whole team did not react, Park Go Bum really raised his hand. The coach then had to run over and whisper to the actor: "This is not the time for you to raise your arms."
Netizens left many comments praising Park Bo Gum under the video: "The rumors of him being kind are true", "He is like an angel in both face and soul", "He is like Gwan Sik in real life", "He has been my ideal type for a thousand years, both in appearance and personality"...
Meanwhile, the appeal of the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines has not cooled down.
In its 5th week of release, the drama once again ranked No. 1 on the ranking of the most-watched non-English TV shows of the week on Netflix worldwide, with 5.4 million views.
Thanks to the popularity of the drama, Netflix Korea's monthly active users exceeded 14 million in March. This is the first time in 2 years that Netflix Korea has achieved this number, since January 2023 when "The Glory" became popular.
