He concluded his praise with the final remark, “He’s such a decent ‘dongsaeng’, wouldn’t you agree?”

Ahead of this reveal, Park Bo Gum once revealed that he often took the subway and that no one had ever recognized him.

Everyone rides the subway with their eyes glued to their cellphones, so they never recognize me. I’ve never run into someone who knows me.
