Park Bo Gum 박보검 ♥ 朴寶劍 ♥ パク・ボゴム | Upcoming Drama 2024: When Life Gives You Tangerines | Upcoming Drama 2024: Good Boy

[MichelleBG]

@stroppyse   thanks for your translation. It is so good to have you here in this thread and my gratefulness to you in beyond word. Please take your time to work on part 3. No pressure.

 

@4evgbogummy  when will this ep of happy together broadcast? Today? I can't wait to watch this episode because the casts will talk a lot about Bo Gum. And i like Eunuch Jang as we can see that he likes Bo Gum a lot and his testimony on Bo Gum is priceless because he worked closely with him.

 

I hope the Hong Kong Fan meeting is real and the moment i knew it yesterday i can't help myself to check the air ticket and hotel rate during that period. Hope i will be lucky enough to get a seat. And i have to think how to inform my husband and my 2 sons where and why i will go. Omona.......

Like Lee Yeong who is straightforward with his love and his work, Park Bo Gum is also a straightforward man. 

oo Jung was great. Because we were able to act together, I was really happy. In the pit as I held Yoo Jung and ad libbed ’try stretching your arm out further’, Yoo Jung-ie responded ‘why don’t you try using a little more strength’ matching my line with her ad lib. I felt that she had sense. And, I

“I also tend to be straight when I am working, straight when I’m dating. Since I can’t focus on more than one thing at a time, worrying about the  rest is difficult. When I’m dating, if I like her, I express that I like her. (Now that you’re resting, you’ll have to date?) No. Now that I’m resting, I have to go back to school.”

 

 

Wait. Does this mean that PBG has dated in the past? Not trying to start rumors or anything, but his response to the dating question of how he expresses it if he likes someone seems to indicate that perhaps he's done that before. No? Not that it's any of my business, of course. If he has, I'm happy for him and hope that it was a good experience. He is an incredibly sweet and caring man who seems very forthright in his thoughts and responses. 

 

 

Thanks for the 3rd translation. Besides, PBG mentioned  in 2D1N that he has dated before. And he said once he date he will go for long term relationship. Who will be the lucky girl friend /wife in future? We will not know about that in short run but we will get to see his 'jjan" kissing skill earlier. hahahahaha, so if he dates then it will benefits us through his acting.

“Comedic acting…actually, I came to know that I also have a guileful side to me this time. I also lacked self confidence because of the comedic acting. I think I could understand what kind of emotion was required, but I thought it would be difficult to express. Even rehearsing while looking at a mirror, I couldn’t feel the sincerity. But then, because of the scene where we fall into the pit, it all came out correctly. I learned that the lines and the scene could be adapted. That guileful acting became more fun as time went on. The good points are…please let me know. (u u) For now, I don’t think I’ll be able to list the good points.  To others, it’s just something they can pass along, but since I know it well, all I see are the parts where I’m lacking.”

Park Bo Bum when acting with the much more senior actors and in his political showdowns said “truthfully, at hearing that the charisma is ‘hot!’, I felt a little embarrassed” and “it was because the senior actors first offered me help and corrected me that I was able to fill where I was lacking. It was due to the senior actors, Lee Yeong was able to be made, and that Lee Yeong was able to stand upright till the end and finish well” and expressed his grateful heart that way.

Park Bo Gum said “Exactly 18 years, 19 years Lee Yeong and Hong Ra On’s developing love was what we were able to show” and the romantic acting with Kim Yoo Jung is a good memory. 

“Since Kim Yoo Jung is a minor, there were some opinions that the level of romance was insufficient. However, I  did not think the romance level was insufficient at all. Rather, since there was a good amount of expressions of affection, I thought it was good. The intent was to make it look beautiful and innocent. I never thought that ’the passion has to be intense’.”

However, the viewers wanted to see Park Bo Gum’s passionate romantic acting, and Lee Yeong and Hong Ra On’s last kiss that appeared in the final episode held some regrets. About this topic, Park Bo Gum is a little embarrassed and said “(a-hem smiles) That is something that when I’m older and more experienced, I’ll say “jjan” and show you then.” (My note: “jjan” is a Korean expression equivalent of “ta-da”.)

“Ah, the ending shot that we did. Then we were rushing to finish the shooting. That was something that I realized after I watched it on screen. I can’t remember how we did it while we were shooting.”

To Park Bo Gum, Kim Yoo Jung was the best teacher. Sweet 18 year old Kim Yoo Jung is young in age, but she made her acting debut in 2003 at age 5. Park Bo Gum was surprised by Kim Yoo Jung while shooting the pit trap scene. Kim Yoo Jung responded to the adlib that Park Bo Gum threw at her, making it look good, and creating their chemistry.

“Anything that was hard, it was probably even harder for Kim Yoo Jung. She played character with a wide range of emotions. So, I felt that Yoo Jung-ie was amazing. Expressing Hong Sam Nom as lovable, Yoo Jung was great. Because we were able to act together, I was really happy. In the pit as I held Yoo Jung and ad libbed ’try stretching your arm out further’, Yoo Jung-ie responded ‘why don’t you try using a little more strength’ matching my line with her ad lib. I felt that she had sense. And, I was a little surprised.”

Like Lee Yeong who is straightforward with his love and his work, Park Bo Gum is also a straightforward man. 

“I also tend to be straight when I am working, straight when I’m dating. Since I can’t focus on more than one thing at a time, worrying about the  rest is difficult.

Thank you very much again for your translation. Park Bo Gum explained to audiences who complained about too little passionate scenes from under-aged actress. His explanations also show his interpretation of 18-year old loves by Lee Yoeng and RaOn as one of scenarios, other audiences might interpret differently eg. 18-year old couple in such era could have had passionate and intimate love already.  Totally agreed that he praised that Kim Yoo Jung has good sense, I noticed from her interviews that she can wittily answer.  

Park Bo Gum explained himself as same as I felt from his interviews, his variety shows, his manager's interviews, and colleagues's that he is externally polite but internally straightforward to his thought and decision eg. when his agency's person wanna call taxi for him while he insisted he wanted to ride public transport, Park Bo Gum informed and left as he intended.

 

@stroppyse Yes, Park Bo Gum used to date a girl before debut(16 years old or before), he mentioned in the interview and also answered to Kim Jong Min in 2days 1 night that he used to date a girl but currently in August 2016 he did not date.

(Irrelevant to Park Bogum but I wanna mention his younger co-star, even Kim Yoo Jung at 15, she also interviewed that she used to date but she found it did not work for too young age, distracting)

The short version

 

@4evgbogummy Thank you for tryna make me faint this morning with the "zzang". My heart fluttered. I guess we have to wait till he's "matured" to see another scene like that. I hope he can act in a noona relationship role in his next drama (after high school drama of course).

Pertaining Gummy's LA trip.

Gummy will be flying back home today.

@stroppyse @mellinadear I read from SNS that Park Bo Gum used to interview some kind of fearing that being a celebrity, dating might bother another side. He might mean his next girlfriend or not sure the exone also.

As we could know from his senior in Blossom as Song Joong Ki, after skyrocketing, his picture with his ex non-celeb girlfriend has been revealed which he used to mention bothering her. 

 

By the way, let see Park Bo Gum at 16 when he might date. Haha, chubby boy who always love eating. 

P.S. I read that there are tentatively rich students in his high school, some Koreans misunderstood that he came from rich family.(might be before financial crisis) His family faced financial difficulties around such high school time and then he tried to audition to wanna work in showbiz to help his family, he is youngest sibling among 3.  

At  20 when he acted in small roles, Park Bo Gum was sued to bankruptcy from guarantee agreement his father did for business when he was 15 and at 21, he could compound with debtors. I explored this news after I noticed that he nicely economizes from mention in 2days1night that he has no car because parking fee is expensive. In Song Joong Ki's fanmeeting, Park Bo Gum thanked for giving him mobile and Song Joong Ki mentioned it is his used one as he saw Park Bo Gum's previous one looked very old and he was surprised to see Park Bo Gum used his used moble for a long time when Song Joong Ki watched Youth Over Flowers In Africa.

Wow..so much to read up on our Bogum..thanks to everyone who diligently contribute for our reading pleasure

Have you guys watched his 2013 drama "Wonderful Mama" ? It was a lengthy drama going into 48 episodes and he played the maknae of a wealthy loanshark mama who spoilt her 3 children by giving them everything they wanted in life. Bogum's student role in life was to party and drink with his 'parasite' friends. Later when the mother pretended to lose all her money, the 3 children were forced to work for money and moved to a much smaller and older house. I loved his scenes when they went to Cebu and he was bare-chested while at the pool of the resort and also when he took the easy way out and became a karaoke escort working nights but earning good easy money ^^ He danced and sang and it was pretty hilarious too.

Yes, I am also waiting for HK fanmeet to be confirmed ~~

@mellinadear

Thanks for the info on Bogum's LA trip. Hope he'll have safe flight back to Korea tonight. Wondering if there will be any airport sighting since he's kind of expert being on a "ninja" mode nowadays, which is good for him

[NongpeeP]

After reading fans wrote about Cebu Trip, it was shocked to know what Park Bo Gum faced there esp. Korean Fans who made group's quarrel and fight, as well as arguing curses in front of Park Bo Gum.   

However, as he mentioned in interviews, there are fans who are very nice and support him with respects and politeness.

Now, I understand that most of the unfortunate incidents had to do with fellow Koreans and not Filipinos...

 

[4evgbogummy]

Haha..since @stroppyse asked and since we are mature people here who are rational and we understand and respect Bogummy's need for privacy, I'd just share some C fans' observation from all the public information that has been revealed. As I have been following Bogummy since end last year and have read all his interviews that are available ( the Chinese translation), I can verify that the observation is based on the information gathered from all these interviews or revealed information. I'm also a naturally curious person and I will search on things and people I'm interested to know more about. However, please just treat this as fun facts about Bogummy and nothing more. And below is not a literal reproduction of what was actually said but it's based on my memory of what was said. Also, as with interviews, extracts of what was said can be quite differently understood because you don't have the context in which the response was given. 

Haha.. please do not read if you are the type that's easily influenced/swayed and you are not sure of your own rationality and maturity.

Spoiler

Essentially, C fans have traced the progression on Bogummy's response on the issue of dating as follows:

1. Before R88 (mainly from his interviews after Tomorrow Cantabile)

He has dated before from middle school to high school. Since debut, he has not dated. His ideal type is one who is kind and shares his vision about life. 

2. After R88

He described his ideal type as someone who is like a mother and at the same time like a friend and dongseng to him. She must be a good wife and a wise mother. She should have qualities to make up for where he is lacking. When asked in one instance if he preferred short or long hair, he said short hair. 

3. Before fan meeting in Taiwan

He appeared to be evasive in answering the question whether he has dated and said it's not a glorifying thing not to have dated since his debut. He said Blossom has no issues with him dating and in fact they encourage him to date as it would help him in his acting, just that it should be kept a secret.

4. At fan meeting in Taiwan

When asked, he talked about wearing matching outfits in the sense that the color schemes match, not necessarily from the same logo. 

5. After fan meeting in Taiwan and when promoting R88 for Japan

He said between friendship and love, he's the type that will choose love first and is therefore not like Taek in R88 in this regard. He also said, he's the type that can focus only on one thing. Thus, between work and love, he's only able to do one thing. He said his friends and co-workers around him are in relationships and he thinks it's such a blessing and is envious of them. He has also entertained the question whether to make it public or keep things a secret. He said he's convinced that revealing it will make life very difficult for his love. So, he'd keep the information a secret until they are ready to get married.

6. After fan meeting in Taiwan when he appeared at Unnie Slamdunk (am not sure if I got the correct name of the program)

When asked if he has a girlfriend, he answered no very quickly. Ra Miran then added he would like to date.

7. In 2D1N, just before MDBC premiered, when asked by Jongmin if he had dated before, he said yes. Then Jongmin asked if it's the passionate kind, he said shyly, it's not like that.

8, At Happy Together during the screening of MDBC, Ra Miran was asked if she knew whether Bogummy is in a relationship with a special someone, Ra Miran said, if it's a secret, why would I say or know the answer. Then when asked again if he's meeting anyone in secret, she said, yes he's meeting me later!

9. After MDBC

He said he's the type that will fall in love at first sight and like his drama character Lee Young, he'd like to go all out to show his love to the one he loves. He also finds that the thought of being able to show love to a single woman is an appealing thought. When asked about his ideal type, he said he has no ideal type.

C fans noted a shift in his position on this topic. For me, the most telling part is that he's able to say he's the type that falls in love at first sight unless he has fallen in love at first sight before. Of course, this could also be his love from middle school days. 

There are also some other incidental and peripheral information revealed in other sources - what SJK has said about him being close to someone, his reaction to Jongmin asking him about two pairs of girls, his interaction and his response to what the MC said at TVN 10 award ceremony, and various coincidences such as matching outfits, same log in time on weibo accounts (C fans monitors his log in time hehe.... , close proximity based on Instagram uploads etc (of course, all this could just be pure coincidence or that they could share the same sponsors etc) - all these have led many C fans to think along certain lines. If this is true, I'm very happy for him.

Whatever it may be, I do not want to be nosy. And I have no business commenting on that or who he chooses to date etc. I'm happy that he has close friends including Taekhyun, GKP, Dongyeon, and perhaps close friends who are girls too haha...my own son has a close girlfriend since he was 17 and so, it's perfectly normal to me. Most importantly, being in a close friendship with someone special and being in love is a beautiful thing for anyone and so, I'd like that he experiences that. I can also fully appreciate why he may need to tread very carefully and not reveal things to protect his privacy and his loved ones.

After the mayhem at Cebu and Moonlight fansign event...I don't think he will be like last time again....every move he makes catch attention...he will be better off on "ninja" mode...

That adorable smile

 

[sara2908]

Loved the analysis @4evgbogummy Being sometimes candid and and sometimes evasive Bogummy, There's always truth behind his every word. They are still young and their career is still flourishing.Just hope they could date quietly and give each other's strength surviving in cutthroat K entertainment.  I was hoping another trend will come along soon so that Bogum will get relief from prying media that still focusing too much on him.

@NongpeePSo sad that Bogum has to witness that kind of behavior from fans from his own country. If he has to face this kind of situation now he has to think of his own safety first. Until Bogum fever died down no more taking the subway for now.

@mai5116Yay received the Osts already.

[MichelleBG]

@stroppyse  ep137 to 139 .  i am not 2d1n fan but i watched because of Bo Gum. And i rewatch many times.

@NongpeeP Aw, a million, million thanks for sharing the fan account of the MDBC trip in Cebu! I'm so so envious....she and her friends are so blessed.

Blossom Entertainment has been established for actors, rather than singer idols/actors idols genre(which banned from dating), they looked not strict about dating at all.(Blossom management came from SiDusQ which allowed actors to openly date eg. Kim Woo Bin)

It is Blossom actors' choice whether they wanna date or how publicly they wanna date.

At 23, Park Bo Gum can date but it depends on whether he wanna date now or later,  and whether he wanna keep dating as secret or not.

From your collected notices, there are no explicit evidence whether Park Bo Gum currently date or not. In August 2016's 2days1night, Park Bo Gum denied dating status promptly after getting asked by Kim Jong Min. 

In addition as in this age, seeing and chatting could be done and if it does not work, they could just be friends. If it does work, they will be in relationship. Being boyfriend-girlfriend for a long time as Park Bo Gum interviewed that he wishes, it is further stage after seeing&chatting with a girl for a big while.

From another actor in Blossom as Song Joong Ki who is quite close to Park Bo Gum which might inspire him even dating style, Song Joong Ki interviewed that he would keep his dating as secret till he got caught by medias, which is very general for celebrities. According to Song Joong Ki's interviews in 2014, he had dated at least 4 women already without publicly.

I read from the articles that Korean medias will release dating news for celebrities after they have dated longer than 4 months with constant meetings because shorter than such 4 months, it might be some kind of seeing&chatting, not to be confirmed as in the dating stage, which might result in celebrities' denying that they are just closed Sunbae-HooBae or colleagues. 

As Park Bo Gum used to mention that as celebrity, dating might cause another party problem, I guessed secretly dating might be preferred. 

 

By the way, Park Bo Gum's co-stars accepted in the public interviews that they used to date eg.

- Hyeri (Reply 1988) accepted that she dated  H.O.T member Tony An when she was 19 and he was 35, currently split. http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20131108000564

- Kim Yoo Jung (Moonglight Drawn By Clouds) accepted that she used to date for 300 days when she was 15 but split. http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/06/kim-yoo-jung-reveals-she-dated-someone-for-300-days

 

 Sister Slam Dunk in July 2016 min.0.55, Park Bo Gum promptly answered no girlfriend but nobody knows his current status. 

- min. 2.55 showed he was witty to get out of truck license situation politely with smile.

- In this Sister Slam Dunk, almost MCs are Park Bo Gum's fansgirl

Song Ji Hyo as Park Bo Gum's fansgirl in Running man in April 2016
