Don’t know Park Bo-gum? Well, you should

December 22, 2016 Entertainment, Movies, People, TV

Park Bo-gum should have taken the longer route. The smell of warm food and freshly brewed coffee from a ballroom – where lunch is being served – wafts across the hotel hallway as he makes his way to a private room for our interview.

“I am so hungry right now,” Park sheepishly confesses in halting English when he finally settles on the empty chair across, a pout on his boyish face as he rubs his stomach.

The South Korean actor tussles with memory as he tries to tell me, through a translator, about a regional skewered grilled meat dish.

Satay?

“Ah yes, that’s right!” the 23-year-old Park exclaims, his round eyes widening in glee. “I really want to eat some satay now.”

The Seoul native was in Kuala Lumpur for a fan meeting as part of his Asian tour. He had just wrapped up a hectic press conference prior to this interview. And once our session was done, he was whisked away to exchange pleasantries with sponsors of the event.

If the guy was exhausted, his bubbly demeanour showed otherwise.

“I’m just very thankful to be here,” Park said. “I am grateful for all the moments that I have, and I’m moving forward one step at a time to the future."

Park Bo-gum’s speedy success could be attributed to the hordes of fans who have rallied behind him. Here he’s seen taking a selfie with crowd of his Kuala Lumpur fan meeting recently. Photos: Blossom Entertainment

If anything, there’s really no better time than the present for the young star. Park is at the peak of fame – and there are no signs of him slowing down.

To date, he has appeared in a range of roles in both television and film. His tenure as a co-host on popular music programme Music Bank made him the cool kid among young fans. Meanwhile, his many supporting K-drama roles sweep older women off their feet.

It’s worth noting that the Myongji University undergraduate’s breakout role came in 2015, a mere four years after his entertainment debut. His portrayal of a genius board game player in the nostalgia-tinged Reply 1988 made him a household name. Since then, the actor became a much sought-after talent.

He’s been hailed as the next generation hallyu (Korean wave) star and more recently, the immense popularity of Park’s leading role in the Joseon Dynasty period drama Love In The Moonlight garnered him the title “Nation’s Crown Prince”.

When I remind him that he’s also known as the “Nation’s Son-In-Law”, a guarded look briefly flashes across his otherwise cheery face. “It’s a kind of responsibility to have those titles,” he shrugs, “and since those reputations were given through the trust and love of my fans, I really need to look after those expectations. I just try to stay focused and show the goodness in me to people.”

That desire to live up to the public’s expectations of him is, in part, spurred by the fact that Park found success at a relatively young age. And he owes it to the steady fan base that has rallied behind him.

Park’s breakout role was in the the hit drama Reply 1988.

The actor’s meteoric rise could be regarded as a rarity in the hyper-competitive South Korean entertainment scene. To put things in perspective, entertainers in the republic often struggle through the early years to make a name for themselves in the industry.

“So far, I haven’t encountered any particular moments that are hard to deal with,” Park offers, referring to a question about the hardships he might have faced in carving an acting career.

That doesn’t mean that he is resting on his laurels.

“It’s not the moment yet for me to enjoy my time as an actor,” he says passionately, “and as the time goes by, I feel that I need to push myself harder to pay back for all the good fortune that I have received.”

In person, Park doesn’t quite whip up the kind of star presence one would often associate with top acts. He enters the room without any frills or fuss.

At the start of our interview, the actor even made the blunder of sitting on a plain-looking chair designated for the translator (his publicist had reserved a posh-looking armchair for him).

But it’s this sort of charming boy-next-door persona, coupled with an emotionally vulnerable disposition, that has made Park an unassuming acting force to be reckoned with.

Fans cherish his sentimentality. He’s been known for breaking down during public appearances on some occasions.

“It’s just that I appreciate all the little things in life. If I can help it, I would try my best to hold back my tears,” Park says when asked what tugs at his heartstrings. Then again, those waterworks might have something to do with his sad past.

A Reply 1988 audition tape – which was shown during an episode of the travel programme Youth Over Flowers: Africa, that Park participated in earlier this year – unveiled details about the actor’s sad past.

“In fourth grade, my mother passed away,” he had revealed then, unable to hold back emotions as he rehearsed a conversation between a son and mother.

Fast forward to the present day, and Park says he tries to let bygones be bygones.

“It’s because I know I cannot turn back time no matter what. So, instead of regretting or thinking about the past, it’s much better to just move on,” he offers, without specifically mentioning his family background.

In moving on, Park is revelling in the many opportunities he gets as an actor. He gushes about the exciting experiences he has enjoyed through his professional engagements. Reply 1988 taught him how to play Go, the abstract strategy board game. He got to explore a whole new continent on Youth Over Flowers: Africa, while Love In The Moonlight allowed him to pick up horse riding.

When asked what other roles he would consider tackling, the actor replies: “There are a lot more challenges I look forward to. So, I’m really open to anything at this point.”

“What would you recommend?” he casually asks, sitting up eagerly to hear the reply.

Uh, superhero?

“Oh, superhero? That’s actually a good idea. Most superhero characters we see these days are from foreign countries. I would like to play a superhero that shows off Korean power,” he says with a laugh.

All jokes aside though, Park confesses he’s still trying to get used to the attention he has been getting.

“There are two sides to this. On the one hand, I’m very grateful for all the love I have received, I really do. It’s just that my private life is not as private as before.

“When I’m not in front of the camera, I’m just like any other normal person. I’m a student. I eat when I’m stressed. Eating is a routine I cannot leave out in a day. “I’m someone who likes to take public transport but it’s hard for me to do that now.”

Park stresses that he’s not complaining, though. It’s a small price to pay to forge a career in entertainment, he reckons.

“Ultimately, I want to be a good person and spread happiness through my acting. If I don’t forget to be appreciative and thankful, then that would be the most important thing that I’ll ever achieve,” he says with a warm smile as he prepares to leave for his next appointment.

“Thank you for doing this interview with me,” he says and bows deeply, before exiting through the same hallway he came from earlier.

The smell of tantalising culinary creations lingers outside, threatening to whet Park’s appetite once more. But work beckons, so satay just has to wait.

I love the "sense of humanity" with which this article is written. So many moving details about Bogum, the person.

@kangniee hi, I think all of the fans who will attend bogum's fanmeet will have a chance to have high touch with him, you can also ask for more info at Park Bo Gum Singapore @BOGUMMY_SG  if you have twitter account

Thanks! I see, what's a hi-touch? is it like every fan gets to high-five or speak to him or something like that?

[4evgbogummy]

I need to rant!!! Why are there fans who are so irresponsible as to disturb our boy's Twitter account with such groundless accusations and awful remarks? It's bad enough that his fans are innocently dragged in but disturbing Bogummy on his Twitter??!!! This is too much!!! Since they have been snooping around here, I'd say this for them to hear - DON'T YOU DARE DISTURB OUR BOGUMMY!!! If you are unhappy with his fans, take it out with his fans. Don't stoop so low as to disturb him because you have no basis for taking out with his fans!!!  Somebody should insist that she apologizes to Bogummy.

A high touch is a high five. But you can certainly choose to do a handshake instead. That allows you a little more time to give your well wishes which was what I did.

@4evgbogummy

This another fans war really gets on my nerves. I can't get it why she needs to tweet Bogum on top of that. Bogum fans are not YJ haters. I personally love YJ and her acting. About YJ IG and DC been attacked lately, she can't blame that it's a doing of Bogum's fans. We have no reason or whatsoever to hate her. Bogum is a very sensitive boy and he reads all his tweets. I can't imagine what will be his reactions when he get to read it. Please, give that boy a break! This act of bashing and hating is all so immature and it's been going on for quite a while. It's getting ugly. Sigh..

I saw the twitter war this a.m. but I thought it was just between fans with  Bogum's on the defense because of the attacks. I personally thought the attacks were absurd but I thought it better to ignore and spread positivity. But if you say that this person went as far as attacking Bogum, then that's a different question altogether. It's best, however, to be "Bogum-like" in dealing with this pitiful person. She must so unhappy to spread unhappiness.

Tell me about it. I was so shocked when i read that on twitter. What was in that fan's head when he/she tweeted Bo Gum on that? The fan deleted the tweet but don't want to apologize. 

We will never understand this kind of people because our thought and believe are different. And yes let me add on to what you said -  DON'T YOU DARE DISTURB OUR BOGUMMY!! OR OVER MY DEAD BODY!!! 

 

[bogumalltheway]

dear friends, we all needs to stop. both sides are at fault playing the victim.  i saw some twitters from PBG fans attacking KYJ fans  and vice versa. Lets pray for PBG to be strong and get through his busy schedules, and pray for KYJ to get well soon. ( they dont deserve the hate they are getting)

[4evgbogummy]

Yes, if YJ's fans want to wage a fanwar with Bogummy's fans (though I'm sure a large majority of Bogummy's fans are not interested in any fanwar as we are peace loving and respectful people), they MUST keep it at the fans' level. It has nothing to do with  Bogummy. It's downright disgusting to tweet to his personal Twitter account as if he's to be blamed for fans' behavior and causing YJ to be in hospital. LET THIS UGLY BEHAVIOR BE A ONE-OFF. The purpose of my rant is also to make sure that fans who are minded to behave irresponsibly will be deterred from attacking Bogummy. We can't control Knetz from making comments. They have been like this - the comments on DC can be so poisonous and I am already aware that these comments about YJ are not new. She had received comments even before MDBC and so it has nothing to do with Bogummy's fans, let alone Bogummy. Though I find such behavior unacceptable, it's still okay as the comments were kept amongst netizens but it's TOTALLY WRONG to target the celebrities themselves as if they caused such behaviors.

I need Bogum's boombastic to calm me down..
