Park Bo-gum’s “Hot Boy” Pre-Debut Photos Resurface, Legend Level of Handsome
Park Bo-gum, often praised for his flawless visuals, had fans buzzing once again after pre-debut photos of him as a legendary hot boy in Mokdong, Korea, were revealed during a recent broadcast.
Particularly, on the July 11th episode of KBS2’s The Seasons: Park Bo-gum’s Cantabile, guests Jung Yong-hwa, gOnny, Ahn Hyo-seop, and girl group HITGS joined the actor-host for a lively discussion. During a segment, Jung Yong-hwa praised Park Bo-gum’s stunning looks even back in middle school, calling him a fully completed visual since 9th grade.
Then, when Bo-gum humbly denied ever being considered an “ulzzang” (a popular Korean slang term for someone with extraordinary looks, in this case a hot boy), Jung teased him further, saying, Weren’t you the famous ‘Mokdong Ulzzang’? Caught off guard, Park Bo-gum laughed and responded, “I guess the rumors really did spread that far.”
To the audience’s delight, photos of Park Bo-gum during his school years were shown on screen, drawing cheers and swoons from fans. With his clean-cut features and youthful charm, the throwback images left no doubt as to why his reputation extended all the way to Busan, as Jung Yong-hwa jokingly claimed.
Embarrassed but smiling, Bo-gum commented, That was when I was still so fresh-faced, before laughingly requesting, You can take them down now, please.
