Korean actor Park Bo-gum has garnered attention for his slender figure, bright smile, and charming voice.

In his second year of high school, he began seriously pursuing his dream of becoming a singer, filming himself singing while playing the piano and posting the videos online, while also visiting agencies and becoming a trainee.

However, he was judged to be more suited to acting than singing, and he switched to the path of an actor.

He received numerous awards between 2015 and 2017.
