10 Times Park Bo-Gum Proved He’s A Laid-Back Style Legend
Our favorite baby-faced ‘oppa’ shows us how he turns up the charm in these boy-next-door looks
For the uninitiated, Bo-gum is the 26-year-old actor who first made our hearts flutter in his breakthrough role as Choi Taek in Reply 1988 and, ultimately, as Joseon crown prince Lee Yeong in the domestically and internationally successful K-Drama Love in the Moonlight. For those who have been captivated by his “flower boy” good looks even before that, he was also known for MC-ing Music Bank and starring in critically acclaimed films like A Hard Day, The Admiral: Roaring Currents, and Coin Locker Girl, as well as dramas like The Producers and Hello Monster. Park Bo-gum is also a chart-topping singer, having released the song “My Person” for the Love in the Moonlight soundtrack.
He took a hiatus from filming TV and movies between 2016 to 2018, a time he used to jet off to major cities in Asia for a number of fan meetings—yes, including Manila!—before he starred in the drama Encounter.
Last year, it was announced that Bo-gum will star in several projects to be released in 2020 including a film with Gong Yoo (Seo Bok) and a drama with Parasite’s Park So-dam (Record of Youth). He also tickled us pink with a quick cameo in the finale episode of Itaewon Class.
While we patiently wait for his projects to come out this year, we decide to do a bit of style-stalking to fill the void until we can see our Bogummy on-screen again! Swipe through the gallery to check out 10 of Park Bo-gum’s best looks!

Fit to a Tee

Too Pretty In Pink
Not everyone looks this cute in a pink linen suit. Bo-gum, of course, is an exception. When you’re a tall drink of water like this oppa, a loose-in-all-the-right-places silhouette makes a laid-back ’fit look so good.

Memories of Encounter
As Kim Jin-hyuk in 2018’s ‘Encounter,’ Bo-gum showed us how the “ordinary” can be just as head-turning when styled right. You see his cheerful character in laid-back basics before he transforms for work in the series.

When Bo-gum “graduated” from being an MC of ‘Music Bank’ in 2016, he took to the streets to greet his fans to celebrate his time on the variety show. This off-duty look showed off his boyish charm perfectly!
