Park Bo-gum’s passion is burning hot. One cannot help but marvel at the exceptional dedication of Park Bo-gum, who successfully obtained a national technical qualification certificate for hairdressers, a credential with a pass rate of only 20 to 30 percent.

Park Bo-gum will meet viewers through tvN’s “Bo-geum Magical 2,” airing next month. “Bo-geum Magical 2” is a variety program depicting the operation of a special hair salon in a small seaside village that trims both hair and hearts. As a sequel to “Bo-geum Magical,” which aired earlier this year, it portrays “Director Park” Park Bo-gum returning with even greater growth. In this season, his close friend and Season 1 co-star Lee Sang-i joins him, along with new member Go Kyung-pyo.

Park Bo-gum leveraged the barber national technical qualification certificate he obtained during his military service to take on hairdressing for villagers in Season 1, drawing attention. Ahead of Season 2, he recently passed the final exam for the hairdresser (general) national technical qualification test as well. Park Bo-gum had been challenging himself to obtain the hairdresser national technical qualification certificate since previous broadcasts, preparing seriously for the exam by practicing perms despite his relentlessly busy schedule.

One cannot fill one’s stomach with the first sip. Park Bo-gum failed the exam on his first attempt but continued practicing and challenged it again, ultimately succeeding in earning the national technical qualification certificate, which has a low pass rate. This is why attention is increasingly focused on the activities of “solid young man” Park Bo-gum, who now holds both barber and hairdresser qualifications.

Park Bo-gum is not merely consuming the “Director Park” character from variety shows; he is demonstrating a sincere approach by honing his skills.

Because Park Bo-gum works hard at whatever he does, it feels truly impressive to see him meet people with sincerity on variety programs and even obtain qualifications in order to provide them with proper hairdressing services.

In response to Park Bo-gum’s attitude, the public is sending words of encouragement, saying, “Even Park Bo-gum lives this hard.”
