Park Bogum's New Perm Sparks Excitement

The tvN entertainment program "Bogum Magical" has confirmed the production of Season 2 and is set to air in the second half of this year. Season 1 aired over 10 weeks, sharing the memories made with the residents of a small island village in Muju, Jeollabuk-do, delivering both emotion and laughter.

"Bogum Magical" is an entertainment show that follows Park Bogum, Lee Sang-yi, and Kwak Dong-yeon as they open and run a hair salon in a small rural village in Muju. Park Bogum served as a barber during his military service and obtained a national barber license, while Lee Sang-yi acquired a nail technician license, and Kwak Dong-yeon showcased his excellent cooking skills.

Viewers showed an enthusiastic response to "Bogum Magical," which provided laughter and emotion through its harmless and gentle approach without any strong stimulation. Season 1 ranked first for seven consecutive weeks in the 2049 target viewership ratings across all channels and time slots, and it remained in the top 10 for nine consecutive weeks in terms of buzzworthy TV non-drama and cast member categories. Video views surpassed a total of 420 million.

The program depicted the deep friendships between the residents and the cast members, gifting viewers with "magical" moments. In particular, there were many viewer requests for Season 2, and anticipation is growing regarding whether Park Bogum will obtain his hairstylist license.

In Season 1, Park Bogum was only able to perform cuts, blow-dries, and coloring services with his barber license. However, in the final episode, he reapplied to take the hairstylist exam. If he obtains the hairstylist license, he will be able to perform perms, which Park Bogum desired, allowing him to show a different side compared to Season 1.
