Actor Park Bo-gum expressed his respect for IU, who he acted with.

In an interview for the Netflix series ‘Boomsak,” held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Gukjegeum-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 24th, Park Bo-gum praised IU, his co-star, saying, “She‘s an actress with great mental stamina.”

He said, “I had a tough schedule playing not only Ae-soon but also her daughter Geum-myeong, and there was a lot to do. IU was cool for maintaining her mental health and stamina in the midst of all that. She was a friend I really wanted to pat on the back for.” He continued, “It was a precious project to be able to act with a friend of the same age,” and “She was good at giving to many people. Seeing that side of IU, I thought to myself, “She’s a friend with a big heart. I have a lot to learn from her good deeds,” he added.

Park Bo-gum said, “I was inspired and had a great time meeting artist IU, who is a role model and inspiration to many people, both acting and music. I want to say that I had a great time meeting her and that I was happy.”

‘I Was Fooled By Bangsadae’ is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of Jeju Island-born ‘rebel, Ae-soon, and ‘unstoppable, iron man’, Gwan-sik, into four seasons. The lives of ‘Ae-soon’ and ‘Gwan-sik’, who go on an adventure together against the waves of life, are expressed through four seasons.

Park Bo-gum played the young ‘Gwan-sik’, the iron man who overcomes any hardship without complaint, and acted alongside IU, who played the young ‘Ae-soon’. ‘Gwan-sik’ is an honest character, but he is rough and awkward in front of ‘Ae-soon’. The baton of ‘Gwan-sik’ in his middle age was passed on to Park Hae-joon.

‘Bok-ssak-da-suda’ consists of 16 episodes, and is released 4 times a week, with the final 4th act scheduled to be released on the 28th.
