'Bogum Magical' Park Bo Gum has started operating a barbershop under his name.
The first episode of tvN's new variety show 'Bogum Magical,' which aired on the 30th, depicted Park Bo Gum, Lee Sang Yi and Kwak Dong- yeon preparing to run a barbershop in a rural village in Muju.
Earlier Park Bo Gum obtained a barber license while serving in the military. He drew attention by attempting the national cosmetologist license, which has only a 20%–30% pass rate, out of a desire to give customers perms.
Park Bo Gum did not stop studying and practicing despite his busy schedule and enjoyed the joy of passing the written exam. That joy was brief, as he expressed worries about whether he could do well on the practical exam.
And a day before the opening, Lee Sang Yi boasted of holding a national nail technician license and said, "I became a nail technician." By contrast, Park Bo Gum confessed, "Perms were too difficult. I thought I would be good at them, but perms were much harder than I expected. The problem was having to take the practical exam within a time limit," saying he failed the practical exam.
He continued, "When the instructor who was trimming my hair gave advice, he said, 'Just don't be sloppy.' He said that meant immediate failure," adding, "I tried my best, but the person next to me had already finished. But I did better on one section," he revealed.
Above all, he said, "You are supposed to roll by color, but they said, 'Put your hands down.' Each head requires more than 55 rods, but I had 45. I was short 10. Everyone was only looking at me. You must know who I am," expressing embarrassment.
In the end, Park Bo Gum plans to provide services such as cuts, shaves and drying first through his barber license, excluding perms. In a subsequent interview he expressed regret, saying, "Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I thought I would pass. I wanted to pass," yet added, "Even if I can't roll perms by road, I'm confident in blowouts like a hot perm, so I think that's something to be grateful for. I'll run the Bogum Magical shop entertainingly."
That night, Park Bo Gum practiced and practiced again ahead of the opening. "I'm doing this under my name. I named it 'Bogum Magical' under my name," he said, revealing that he did not want to disappoint people.
Meanwhile, the barbershop's first business began. Contrary to expectations, there were no waiting customers, and although Park Bo Gum did not expect an open-run, he stared out the window endlessly. Lee Sang Yi also said, "I think I imagined something different. When it's open, people will come flooding in saying, 'Is this Bogum Magical? I'm here for a haircut,'" which drew laughter.
After welcoming his first customer, Park Bo Gum made the first snip. Perhaps due to nerves, his hands trembled and he accidentally cut his hand. When blood appeared quickly, Park Bo Gum apologized to the customer and performed first aid.
