In a fresh take on variety shows, Park Bo-gum embraces his role as a rural hairdresser in the TV show 'Bogum Magical', which started airing on tvN. The show features Park alongside Lee Sang-yi and Kwak Dong-yeon as they manage a salon in a remote village. Park Bo-gum, who obtained a hairdressing certificate during his military service, takes on the role of owner, while Lee Sang-yi, with his nail technician certification, oversees nail care, and Kwak Dong-yeon handles the culinary duties. The show's viewership has shown an upward trend, starting from 2.8% on its premiere and rising to 3.1% six days later.

The show is characterized by its lack of sensational content, relying instead on the warm and congenial demeanor of Park Bo-gum to evoke laughter among viewers. The affectionate portrayal of the village residents adds to the charm of the program, with the witty exchanges between Lee Sang-yi and Kwak Dong-yeon providing light-hearted amusement. Park expressed hope during production meetings to bring "magical moments" to the community that lacks hairdressing facilities and to create a space for sharing joy and personal care.
