@backstreetboysfan  yes, Bogum posted this on his IG yesterday July 11th  with the caption - "“Receiving the baton from senior singer Sean, I participate in the 2023 Ice Bucket Challenge for the establishment of the first Lou Gehrig’s disease healthcare hospital in Korea. I sincerely wish for the good health and happiness of Lou Gehrig’s disease patients and their families”.  Park Bo Gum then pointed out actor Kwak Dong Yeon, The Boyz Q, and Oh My Girl Mimi as the next runners of this challenge. What surprises me is that apart from Kwak Dong Yeon and The Boyz Q, who are known to be friends with him, Mimi has no particular connection with him. I guess he watched ‘Earth Arcade’ and found Mimi’s mistake funny” that time. Although, he accepted her apology.

@backstreetboysfan  thanks for sharing this. This is a crime/action drama. To put the plot simpler, 'Good Boy' tells the stories of international competition medalists from various sports categories who are specially employed by the government to serve in the police force. Instead of their medals, they wear police IDs around their necks to catch cheaters and dirty players red-handed. Park Bo Gum is in talks to take on the role of Yoon Dong Joo, a former boxer currently assigned to a special force. He is currently busy filming his next small-screen project, 'You Did Good' and there's another new drama offer for him. Wait & see............. if he's taking this.  

[willenette]

*** In case, Bogum takes the drama "Good Boy", with the timeline being July now, the drama is likely to air in 2024. I hope he's taking it, a new role for him being a policeman. The plot and character sounds good. I hope we could get to hear his decision soon. Whatever it is, I will always support Bogum.  

[willenette]

*** On July 15th, Sean posted on his Instagram, “Namsan Rain Run. Day 12 of training. 50 minutes of light running. I feel so happy because many people are together. Long-distance runner Lim Kyung Hee, Park Ho Seon, Lee Young Pyo, Jang Ho Joon, and Park Bo Gum who runs well.  Bo Gum’s musical is well prepared and the whole crew will go see it together! We run for a healthy life with a good heart.” - Take a look at this  jaw-dropping physique of Bogum. It's grabbing my attention. He looks so COOL! He bulked up a lot. Love it! The released photos show them running under drizzle in Namsan Mountain.

*** "Good Boy", the title alone is very fitting to Bogum. But, I desperately want a BAD BOY Bo-gum okay? I hope for his next work in the future. Right now, I'm waiting for confirmation. I hope he will take on the role, though. In the meantime, I am looking forward to the release of his next drama "You Did Good" with IU. Any opportunity to see him in a drama is very

 

welcome.

@Sakurafairy  thanks for sharing this. It looks like Park Bo Gum had the wholesome personality since his younger days. I also read his adorable online posts when he was a fourth grader. In the post that Park Bo Gum posted, he wrote his personal information and this was how he wrote it. (please see below post)  The next one got cuter; it was a post that he wrote to his friends ahead of the time when he was going into the fifth grade. It was titled, "Bo Gummy...", he started off his post saying, "Hi, everyone! This is Bo Gum. You are all doing well, right? I guess we really are becoming the fifth graders soon." He continued, "Even in the fifth grade, don't forget about me. And you guys keep your awesome smiles too, okay? Take care, and here is my e-mail address. Send me lots of e-mails!" Wrapping up his message, he wrote, "I love you guys, and teacher! Thank you for taking such great care of me for the last year!" This cute past posts of his is just so adorable.
