On the 13th, tvN announced that “Bo-gum Magical” Season 2 will premiere this November. In “Bogum Magical 2,” Ko Kyung-pyo will be joining Park Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi as a new cast member. Known as a “variety show gem” for his innocent and quirky wit and quick thinking—qualities that have seen him appear on various variety shows—viewers are eager to see what kind of performance Ko Kyung-pyo will deliver on “Bogum Magical 2.”
Park Bo-gum and Ko Kyung-pyo are close friends who have maintained a strong bond for over 10 years since meeting on the dramas “Cantabile Tomorrow” and “Reply 1988.” The comfortable chemistry between the two, born from their long-standing friendship, is another key point to watch in “Bo-gum Magical 2.” With Go Kyung-pyo’s addition to the cast, the fresh dynamic between Lee Sang-yi—who went from being the “eldest brother” in the previous season to the “second-eldest”—and Go Kyung-pyo is another highlight to watch. Expectations are high for the unique chemistry these two, both known for their exceptional wit, will create.
tvN’s *Bo-gum Magical* is a variety show that follows the daily operations of a special hair salon in a small rural village in Muju, where the staff help customers refine both their hair and their minds. Season 1, which aired last January, not only brought laughter through the cheerful, genuine chemistry between Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Kwak Dong-yeon but also delivered heartwarming moments as they shared deep, personal conversations with the villagers. Buoyed by the popularity of Season 1, Season 2 is now in production, solidifying the show’s status as one of tvN’s most popular intellectual properties (IP).
“Bogum Magical 2,” which promises a fresh twist with the addition of new member Ko Kyung-pyo, will premiere on tvN this November.
