Actor Park Bo Gum Graces The Final Episode of “Itaewon Class”… And Shocks Viewers With His New Hairstyle

“What the hell is that hair?”

In the final episode of the hit K-Drama Itaewon Class aired March 21, 2020, actor Park Bo Gum made a surprise cameo as a chef interviewing at the new restaurant opened by Oh Soo Ah (played by actress Kwon Nara).

His appearance, as confirmed a week ago, thrilled the viewers…

… and the keywords “Itaewon Class” and “Park Bo Gum” topped Korean search trends, as soon as the episode aired.

While most viewers were thrilled to see Park Bo Gum on the screen, some couldn’t help but question his new, short hairstyle. Some even wondered if the unusually short cut could be hinting at enlistment!

In the past, Park Bo Gum stated in an interview that he will “serve his military duty when the time calls.” Though he has not yet responded to the growing curiosity, with a new K-Drama set to premiere in 2020, it is unlikely that Park Bo Gum will enlist any time soon.
