In an unforeseen turn of events, actor Park Bo-gum made an impromptu appearance on CBS Radio’s 'Choi Kang-hee’s Cinema Music' following a mistaken announcement about his participation. Originally scheduled for a brief phone interview on May 27 to discuss the upcoming movie 'Wonderland', which stars Suzy and features a stellar cast including Tang Wei, Jung Yu-mi, and Choi Woo-shik, Park decided to personally visit the studio after seeing the incorrect notification posted by CBS.
The radio station had mistakenly announced on their community channel that both Park Bo-gum and director Kim Tae-yong would be appearing live on the show. Upon seeing this, Park Bo-gum, demonstrating remarkable consideration for the expectations set amongst his fans, made his way to the studio.
"I saw the announcement that I was appearing, so I hurried over," he explained with a bright smile, to the delight of the live audience.
The audience, thrilled by his surprise appearance, expressed their excitement with comments like "It feels like I’ve won the lottery," and "Please extend the radio broadcast time," praising his character for showing up uninvited. Park Bo-gum, known for his exceptional personal integrity, once again proved his reputation by going out of his way to rectify a situation that was no fault of his own.
This act of kindness is consistent with Park’s history of benevolence, as echoed by a high school classmate who recalled how Park was the only one to befriend him when he was ostracized by others. Park Bo-gum's considerate nature has also been highlighted in other instances, such as when he personally thanked a physically challenged fan at a clothing brand’s fan signing event long after it had ended.
Park Bo-gum continues to be admired not only for his talent but also for his exemplary conduct, further solidifying his status as one of the entertainment industry’s most commendable figures.
Such kindness and integrity are rare these days. I hope nobody tries to take advantage of him.
