"Record Of Youth" Star Park Bo-Gum And His On-Screen Partners
He will soon star in a fashion- and modeling-focused K-Drama with actress Park So-dam!
The first teaser of Park Bo-gum and Park So-dam's upcoming K-Drama, Record of Youth, has been released, and we can't help but be excited about this new on-screen pair. The cast members have also finished their first script reading.
We're looking forward to seeing the chemistry of the Park-Park couple, but aside from that, we also know that this series is something K-Drama fans shouldn't miss since it happens to be Park Bo-gum's last small screen project before his military enlistment next month. That means we won't be seeing him for about two years, but we're glad he's leaving us with a show to remember him by while he's away from the limelight. He cannot delay his mandatory military service any longer, because South Korean law mandates Korean men to enlist in the military between the ages of 18 to 28; Park Bo-gum just turned 27 last month.
In Record of Youth, the versatile young actor stars as Sa Hye-joon, a famous model who's smart and has a pleasant personality; his character wants to cross over to the world of acting. Meanwhile, Park So-dam (who recently became famous for the award-winning movie Parasite) is Ahn Jung-ha, a makeup artist. Together, they navigate the world of fashion, modeling, and entertainment. The series, which will be available on Netflix, is said to be released this September.
Park Bo-gum has breathed life into a wide array of characters ever since he debuted in 2011. The baby-faced actor has achieved mainstream success and international prominence, thanks to K-Dramas like Reply 1988, Love in the Moonlight, and Encounter. He has held a number of Asian tours, with stops at countries like Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and of course, the Philippines. He was in Manila last year for his "Good Day" fan meet event. Prior to that, he had also explored the beautiful beach destinations in Cebu, where the K-Drama Wonderful Mama shot some scenes.
In the gallery below, we take a look back at Park Bo-gum's leading ladies through the years:

BONUS! Kwon Nara in "Itaewon Class"
Park Bo-gum's cameo appearance in the K-Drama "Itaewon Class" sparked rumors for a second season. And should that ever become a reality, once he's discharged from the military, it seems that it would put the spotlight on Oh Soo-ah (Kwon Nara) and a possible new love interest in the person of a handsome and talented chef, portrayed by Park Bo-gum. The series ended with him applying for a job at her restaurant. Impressed by the sample dish he prepared, Soo-ah then asked him, "Can you start working tomorrow?" To which, he replied, "Yes."
