Fans of Park Bo-gum must be excited for the actor's return in The Village Barber Season 2 on tvN. And to make the show even better, the makers have decided to bring Ko Kyung-pyo as the new cast member.
Yes, you read that right! This means that the former co-stars of one of the best K-dramas ever, Reply 1988, will reunite in the upcoming chapter of the reality TV series. While Ko is the newest cast member, Lee Sang-yi will also come back alongside Park, while Kwak Dong-yeon has stepped away from the show.
The two stars are already great friends, and the addition of Ko in The Village Barber Season 2 promises more engaging and fun conversations. The show mainly focuses on the cast members operating a countryside barbershop while connecting with residents through everyday acts of service.
Interestingly, Park Bo-gum earned his national barber license during his mandatory military service in 2022 and trained himself further. He can even do women's haircuts and hairdressing. After he steps into The Village Barber, he expresses his desire to use his skills, especially for elderly people.
