Actor Park Bo Gum shared a heartfelt reflection on his life.

On the premiere episode of JTBC's new variety show 'My Name is Gabriel' on the 21st, Park Bo Gum immersed himself in living someone else's life for 72 hours.

During the show, Park Bo Gum revealed his initial hesitation about accepting the offer. He said, "At first, I hesitated when I received the offer. But then I thought it's similar to acting. As an actor, I've already been living someone else's life, and this time, it's in a different country. Plus, senior Park Myung-soo was appearing," explaining his decision to participate.

In a pre-interview, when asked about the life he would have lived if he hadn't become Park Bo Gum, he became emotional, saying, "If I hadn't lived my own life, I wouldn't be an actor, but I believe I would have found happiness in those moments."

Living as 'Ruaídrí' in Dublin, Ireland, Park Bo Gum started his day with avocado, banana, coffee or tea, and 20 almonds. Reflecting on his experience, he shared, "No one paid attention to me; everyone was busy with their own lives, which made me feel unexpectedly liberated."

He added, "Even though it wasn't a vacation, it felt like exploring a different life, so it was fascinating," while Park Myung-soo jokingly interjected, "When are you going to start working?" Park Bo Gum replied, "I managed my time freely according to my to-do list."

Taking on the role of director for the Irish choir 'Ruaídrí' and meeting its members, Park Bo Gum expressed his thoughts, "I had various concerns as the director of the large choir 'Ramparts', wondering if my silence and stillness might be burdensome. I resolved not to hesitate and to boldly step forward."

Park Bo Gum concluded, "There's always pressure to perform well," and vowed, "Under Director Rúiri's guidance, I'll continue practicing and listening to the songs, striving not to let down Ruaídrí."

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
