[TRANS] WikiTreesโ Interview with Park Bogum
When โReply 1988โ ended, it aroused a lot of news.
Iโm very honored and grateful that I was able to appear in such a warm-hearted work. Thatโs why Iโm able to sit in this seat, being interviewed.ย
If itโs 1988, it was before you were born. Was it a little bit difficult to understand the emotions of that time?ย
I listened to a lot of songs from that time and worked hard. However, I listened to the songs, but the emotions didnโt come right away. Thatโs why I asked my family too.ย Because the writer detailedly wrote the script, I think it was easy to understand. I expressed what I knew of days back then with small props.ย
During Deoksunโs husband hunt, the phrases โEoNamRyuโ and โEoNamTaekโ (T/N: from the phrase, โ์ด์จ๋ ๋จํธ์ ๋ฅ์ค์ด/ํ์ดโ, which means โThe husband is Ryu Joon Yeol/Taek anyway) came about. In the end, Taek became the husband.ย
The husband was Taek anyway, so it was EoNamTaek. (Laughs) I didnโt know that I was the husband as well.ย
I thought it was just a role of a one-sided love. In the beginning, Deoksun liked Sunwoo; later, didnโt she like Junghwan? Thatโs why I thought itโd be those two. Even though she expressed her caring heart to Taek, I thought the conclusion would be โEoNamRyuโ, so I was surprised when it really was Taek.ย
How was it when you knew that you were the husband?
While saying โWow, itโs me?โ, I was amazed and puzzled.ย
It seems like the first role in which one had to earn love during the drama. ย
Yes. This was the first role in which [I had to earn my love] with the female lead. From the start of the drama, the director said these words to us, โYou guys are all appearing as protagonists in this work.โ It was a situation in which I was just thankful that I was just able to join the series. Thatโs why I thought that Iโd like whoever would become the husband to be happily chosen by Deoksun.
I was happy that I was just able to come out in a good drama. I never thought, โI have to be the husbandโ or โAm I going to become the husband?โย
I heard that you filmed your first kiss scene in this drama.
In this work, for both Hyeri and I, it was our first time challenging a kiss scene. Although I was very embarrassed, I pretended to be very calm. I heard that, in times like that, actors must take care of and lead them well, but I was also affected.ย
The camera director was also very concerned about the scene coming out prettily.
I heard sounds could be heard on the set of the kiss.
Me? (He was so surprised that his originally large eyes become larger.) When I heard that the dream kiss scene received the largest amount of views, I was really amazed.
Were there any NGs while filming?
Our noses were squished a lot, and my nose ran a lot. Even so, I was happy that the director filmed it prettily.
Are there any memorable scenes within the drama?
While Taek was saying, โLetโs watch a movie, us twoโ, that was the scene of his first ever heartfelt confession. That scene was very thrilling.ย
The one scene where Junghwan says to Deoksun, โDonโt go on the blind date,โ was also very thrilling. When they were filming, I wasnโt there. Later, when it came out on broadcast, I watched through the position of a viewer.
I think that the best was the scene where Taek and his father talk about the question of remarriage. ย He asks, "I wish I had a good friend by my side like you haveโ, and Taek, while smiling, responds, โIf youโre happy, Iโm okay with it allโ. That part was the most emotional.ย
When you said โLetโs watch a movieโ, you were thrilled. In real life, have you ever said that to someone of the opposite sex that youโve liked.ย
Because itโs been so long (I donโt remember). After debuting, I havenโt dated at all.
When dating rumors with Nara noona came out, I didnโt know why they came out. Thatโs why I was sorry and a little bit embarrassed to contact her. Like that, articles came out.
Is there someone you like now? Not your fans and among someone of the opposite sex.
There are many women I like. (Asked persistently) Itโs a secret who they are.ย
Whatโs your ideal type?ย
A person with whom we can both fill up what the other is lacking and learn from each other. I want to meet a motherly woman whoโs also like a friend.
Between Hyeri, who was with you in the drama, and Red Velvet member, Irene, whoโs with you currently in Music Bank, is there someone you match with? Between the two, is there a person whoโs more like your ideal type?
Itโs difficult to choose just one person. Both of them are my ideal types. ย
After the drama ended, you were dragged to tvN โYouth Over Flowersโ.
Iโve had the thought of wanting to come out on โYouth Over Flowersโ, because there arenโt many programs where I can make memories with my peers while traveling far. If I went, I was thinking of going with anyone, and because that dream quickly became reality, I was surprised and honored. Iโve only seen PD Na Young Suk on TV, so when I saw him in real life, it was really amazing. And because the trip was very enjoyable, to me, it seems like itโll become a memory I wonโt be able to forget.
Wasnโt it difficult? When I saw pictures of you entering the country, your face was really burnt.ย
It became really dark. Thankfully, right now, the lightingโs dim and my makeup was [applied] well.ย Even so, it was more enjoyable than difficult. The other hyungs suffered more than me.ย
Letโs go back to the story of your work. Due to this โR88โ success, youโve received a lot of love, and your kind and pure image is taking over the spotlight. Are you worried that this image will become a stumbling block in the future?
Iโve never had that thought. If I look at all my projects up till now, regardless of ratings and the importance of the role, thereโs a lot to learn. To me, I think every projectโs activities moved me forward, step by step. Thatโs why I wonโt be discouraged because of my previous projects. Iโll just, from moment to moment, do my best, and someday, many people will recognize and give me love. Before that, Iโll try not to dwell on negative things.ย
And, before R88, I appeared in the drama โI Remember Youโ, acting as a psychopath. It was a very fresh and fun experience. If I get the opportunity, Iโd like to challenge that type of role again.ย
Is there a genre you want to try next?
Thereโs a lot. I want to film a youth romance while wearing a school uniform, an action film/drama, and a comedy too. There are a lot of genres and roles Iโd like to try.
As an actor, do you have a role model?
The sunbaes Iโve met during each and every project are all role models. Itโs not easy to act and sympathize with many people. Thatโs why I feel that the sunbaes are all really impressive.ย My hope that I can make those peopleโs positive points my own is greater.
But, a thought comes up. The thought that I want to hear the words โPark Bogum is my role modelโ from someone. If thereโs a person like that, there doesnโt need to be many people like that. Thatโs why, while living a little bit more honestly and cleanly, itโs my dream and prayer to become a good influence on someone.ย
What kind of actor do you want to be remembered as?
I want to be remembered as an actor who received praise like "Park Bogum is a person who identifies well and makes whichever role heโs given his own styleโ.
