Park Bo Gum Faces Trials in 'Bo Gum Magiccal' Season 2

The production team of tvN's entertainment program 'Bogum Magical' has hinted at a Season 2 that is as exciting as Season 1. 'Bogum Magical,' which concluded on April 3rd, is an entertainment program that depicts actors Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Kwak Dong-yeon running a hair salon that styles both the hair and hearts of people in a small rural village in Muju. Park Bo-gum, who holds a national hairstylist license, was in charge of hair. Lee Sang-yi, who obtained a nail technician license for this show, and Kwak Dong-yeon, who has excellent housekeeping skills, not only took charge of cooking but also assisted with the overall salon operations, completing a lovely chemistry.

Based on the enthusiastic interest from viewers, 'Bogum Magical' achieved remarkable success, including ranking first in the 2049 target viewership rating across all channels at the same time slot for 7 consecutive weeks, entering the TOP 10 for 9 consecutive weeks in the FUNdex buzzworthiness TV non-drama category and non-drama cast category, and surpassing a total of 260 million video views (as of April 2nd).

The international response was also enthusiastic. 'Bogum Magical,' released in approximately 200 countries and regions including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, as well as South Korea, recorded a rating of 9.5 on IMDB, a platform for global content reviews, proving the potential of this "feel-good dopamine entertainment" that transcends borders.

The following is a Q&A with Son Su-jeong PD of 'Bogum Magical.'

Q The scene where actor Park Bo-gum says, "Just take good memories with you," and a customer replies, "I'll remember them for a long time. I'll engrave these memories in my mind like photos," was impressive. From the production team's perspective, could you share any scenes or customers that you want to remember for a long time? A My favorite unaired scene is the one where Mrs. Eoh visits late at night to repay her outstanding bill. It was a scene that made it to the very end of the broadcast time and was cut with tears, but I believe it well captured the direction our program aimed for.
