Park Bo-gum reveals barber’s license in new variety show

Actor Park Bo-gum is set to make an exciting return to television with a new variety show that puts an unexpected skill of his in the spotlight. The 31-year-old actor, widely celebrated for his roles in dramas and films, has revealed that he holds a barber’s license, which he earned during his military service in 2020.

According to tvN, Park is preparing for an upcoming programme tentatively titled The Barber. The show will follow him as he opens a barbershop for older adults in a rural community.

Beyond cutting hair, the series aims to showcase meaningful conversations and connections as Park engages with local residents, offering warmth and companionship alongside his barbering skills.

This surprising revelation stems from his time in the navy, where Park served as a military barber. His decision to highlight this personal experience in a new variety format demonstrates his willingness to step outside the conventional boundaries of an actor’s career and bring authenticity to his television appearances.

Alongside this project, Park Bo-gum has had a busy year across multiple platforms. He starred in Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines, JTBC’s Good Boy, and KBS 2’s The Seasons: Park Bo-gum’s Cantabile, expanding his already diverse portfolio. Fans have praised his ability to balance acting, hosting, and now even variety entertainment.

In addition to his television commitments, Park has been connecting directly with his fans through a major Asia fan meeting tour.

He will conclude the tour with a domestic encore, Park Bo Gum 2025 Fan Meeting Tour [Be With You] Final in Seoul, scheduled for October 11 at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium.

By combining his star power with a down-to-earth skill, Park’s upcoming show is expected to resonate deeply with viewers. His barber’s license may have started as a necessity during military duty, but it is now shaping into a unique chapter of his public career.
