[OSEN=Kang Seo-jung] Bogum Magical 2 features Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Go Kyung-pyo returning with an even tighter bond and brotherhood chemistry.
Premiering at 7:45 PM on November 29, tvN’s ‘Bogum Magical 2’ (directed by Son Soo-jung) follows ‘Director Park’ Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Go Kyung-pyo as they operate a special hair salon that trims not only hair but also hearts in a small coastal village.
The newly released preview video shows the trio visiting a hair salon in Seoul for a preliminary site inspection ahead of the grand opening of the second branch. Geared up with more seasoned and relaxed ‘director’ vibes for Season 2, Park Bo-gum reunited with Lee Sang-yi, who has been working alongside him since Season 1.
The two reminisced about their memories from Season 1 and displayed their unchanging friendship. They shared various stories, from behind-the-scenes moments where Park Bo-gum personally cut the hair of Kwak Dong-yeonβthe youngest member of Season 1βbefore his military enlistment, to each other’s recent updates, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
The addition of new eldest brother Go Kyung-pyo also raises anticipation. Park Bo-gum and Go Kyung-pyo are 15-year best friends who have built their relationship since their rookie days. Lee Sang-yi, who frequently meets Go Kyung-pyo, introduced him by saying, “He is someone who loves singing and dancing and eats a lot like us,” showing affection. Go Kyung-pyo added fun to the dynamic with his playful entrance and natural integration into the trio’s complete chemistry.
Notably, Go Kyung-pyo, who is familiar with cooking as the son of a makguksu restaurant owner, revealed that he even practiced making sulppang (alcohol bread) and Turkish ice cream for the village elders. This foreshadows the active role of ‘Chef Go’ not only in running the hair salon but also in the kitchen.
The trio’s new second branch is located in a small seaside village in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do. Reminiscing about the Muju first branch, which still attracts many visitors, Park Bo-gum brainstormed a differentiated atmosphere for the second branch. He actively participated in the interior design by suggesting, “I hope the second branch feels like being on a trip.” The three meticulously discussed business hours and pricing to prepare for their official opening.
Their delightful chemistry during the preparation process is another key point to watch. When Go Kyung-pyo panicked upon hearing that they had to move busily from early morning, asking, “Isn’t this a healing variety show?”, Lee Sang-yi retorted, “Bro, our show is a documentary,” bringing laughter. As playful banter continued, Go Kyung-pyo’s reaction of astonishment at the two serious hair professionals added to the entertainment.
Go Kyung-pyo expressed his trust in Park Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi, saying, “These guys were much more passionate than expected, which caught me off guard, but it’s totally understandable and the purpose is so pure and good.” It seems the duo’s sincere attitude toward putting customers first in a new environment left a deep impression on Go Kyung-pyo.
Season 2 will also showcase the further growth of Park Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi. Having even obtained a national hairdresser license ahead of the second branch opening, Park Bo-gum is set to show a more professional side as ‘Director Park.’ Lee Sang-yi, who showcased a free nail service in Season 1, expands the nail service into a shop-in-shop format this season. Transitioning to an official paid service and expanding into pedicures, he takes on a new challenge as nail artist ‘Director Lee.’
Park Bo-gum shared his unchanging management philosophy: “I hope that through ‘Bogum Magical,’ customers’ days become truly magical with the joy of beautiful changes.” Expressing excitement about meeting new customers in a seaside village with charms different from the mountain barbershop in Muju, he raised expectations by saying, “Won’t there be a different kind of joy compared to the first branch?”
