What we discovered about Park Bo Gum in Singapore (apart from the fact that he's really cute)

He's a fellow foodie!

1/7

The K-actor, who will be in town for four days, revealed he has already tried a few local dishes. “I tried local food for the first time today. I ate laksa and bak kut teh. They were delicious,” he said.

He continued to demonstrate his well-known love for food when he revealed his wishlist of things to do in Singapore. He said, “I haven’t really had the chance to try other Singapore cuisine, but I heard it’s delicious. If given a chance, I would like to spend some time going around the city, trying local dishes.”

He was scolded by the director of Love in the Moonlight for being noisy

2/7

“At first, we (the cast) were all awkward. But after we met more often, such as during the script read, we built a rapport and relationship. We grew so close that sometimes, the director would scold us because we made too much noise on set. We are still friends now.”

He thinks his eyes are his most attractive feature

3/7

“I’m greedy because I want to grow taller… There are many features that I want to improve. I want to be healthier too… I think my eyes [are the most attractive].”

He believes self-love is essential

4/7

“When you love yourself, you tend to see a lot of flaws in your features or character. The most important thing is to love yourself adequately so you can see your positive side, instead of just the negatives. Even though I have a favourite feature, I like my other features too because I love and appreciate myself for who I am.”

He can’t go to crowded places anymore

5/7

“The biggest change [after I became famous] is that there are more people who recognise me now. This is the biggest blessing that has happened in my life, and I am thankful for all the support I’ve received. But I can’t visit crowded places anymore. I’m afraid that it will result in overcrowding and affect people who are living in the area or doing something there.”

He wants to act as long-lost siblings with Song Joongki

6/7

“I want to act in a production that talks about family life or a relationship between siblings. Maybe brothers who have been separated for a long time.”

His real-life personality is most like Choi Taek's

7/7

“I think Reply 1988’s Choi Taek resembles my character the most. The role was suggested by the director because he felt that each role given to each actor was most suitable for the actor. But all the roles I’ve played in the past have commonalities with my real personality.”
