Park Bo-gum Was So Handsome That His School Bus’s Route & Time Were Shared Among Friends In School

Born in 1993, Park Bo-gum carried out activities as a swimming athlete until the second year of his middle school life at Mokdong Middle School. Among many anecdotes about Park Bo-gum’s school days, there was one about the actor being so handsome that friends in the school even shared information about the route and time of the bus Park Bo-gum took to go to school.

However, Park Bo-gum had to quit being a swimmer after suffering a slump. Developing the dream of becoming a singer-songwriter, he began sending videos of him playing instruments and singing to various entertainment companies and received acceptance notices from several places, including big record labels. 

In an interview in November 2016, Park Bo-gum’s homeroom teacher at Shinmok High School poured compliments on the actor, saying “He’s a nice kid who not only got along well with friends at school but also participated in club activities very actively.”

After becoming an actor, Park Bo-gum made his face and name known to the public through various projects, including movies “The Admiral: Roaring Currents”, “Coin Locker Girl”, “Seo Bok”, “Wonderland”, etc. and dramas “Reply 1988”, “Love in the Moonlight”, “Encounter”, “Record of Youth”, etc.

Park Bo-gum has recently taken a new challenge to live the life of a stranger, whom he doesn’t even know their name or face, for 72 hours in JTBC’s new variety show “My Name Is Gabriel”. 

Meanwhile, the actor will star in upcoming dramas such as JTBC’s “Good Boy” and Netflix’s “When Life Gives You Tangerines”.
