‘Bombshell’ Park Bo-gum “Darkened Park Bo-gum? Not far off... When he‘s ripened” [DA: Interview④]

Actor Park Bo-gum foreshadowed an even busier schedule this year.

In an interview for the Netflix series ‘Bombshell,” held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Gukjegeum-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 24th, Park Bo-gum said about the demand to see a darkened Park Bo-gum, “I have that kind of role and project in mind. I want to do it when I’ve matured and can express myself well, both as an actor and as a human being. I don‘t think it’ll be far off.”

He said, “Now, only one or two projects are produced a year, and sometimes the projects that are being produced fall through, which is heartbreaking. In the midst of all that, I‘m grateful that the projects (I’m in) are going well,” but “(This production environment) is also a shame in some ways. Because I have a lot of desires to work, to act, and to challenge myself. However, since time is limited, this year I plan to create more opportunities for me to do what I want to do and meet my fans and the public,” he said.

As part of this, Park Bo-gum hosted the KBS music variety show ‘The Seasons - Park Bo-gum‘s Cantabile’, which first aired on the 14th. He plans to meet viewers by communicating with various artists every week.

Park Bo-gum said, “I will start promoting the drama ‘Good Boy’ in March. Filming is finished. I am looking forward to this year because I think it will be a year where I will be able to meet many fans and viewers. I hope you like it a lot and enjoy it. I will try to run without resting,” and added, “I am diligently reading scripts and thinking hard so that I can greet you with my next project as well. He said, ”I will read the new look and the role of a villain carefully and prepare well.“

‘Bulssaksa Wassuda’ is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of ‘rebellious, lovable’ Ae-soon and ‘unstoppable, iron’ Gwan-sik, born in Jeju Island, 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 plays the younger version of ‘Gwan-sik’, the iron’ who can handle any difficult task without complaint, and he works with IU, who played the younger version of ‘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.
