Park Bo-gum Was So Sweet About a Staff Mistake, It Might Give You Cavities

There’s a reason Park Bo-gum consistently tops the list of “K-actors people want to marry.”

His kindness isn’t just a rumor—it’s a reputation backed by story after story. And here’s yet another one that has fans falling for him all over again.

On April 19, a set designer (referred to as "A") who worked on the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' shared a behind-the-scenes moment on YouTube that speaks volumes about Park’s character.

The Mistake That Could’ve Ruined a Scene

While filming a scene with Park’s character, Yang Gwan-sik, A accidentally left an iPad next to a prop jar on set—an object that clearly didn’t belong in a period drama. With the cameras rolling and the director shouting “Cut! That’s a wrap!” the iPad had already been caught in the shot. But before anyone noticed… Park Bo-gum did.

Rather than pointing fingers, he quietly approached the director and said, “I think my acting felt a bit off—would it be okay to check the monitor one more time?” In doing so, he made the mistake seem like it was his own, buying time to fix the scene without exposing the crew member’s error.

Gentleman with a Wink

According to the staff, after the moment passed, Park casually handed the iPad back to A and said with a wink, “No worries—it didn’t get caught.” This simple gesture, filled with empathy and discretion, left both male and female crew members smitten. The set designer confessed that Park’s charm, grace under pressure, and genuine kindness made it impossible not to fall for him.

Whether it’s on a film set, at press events, or even during his time in the military, Park Bo-gum’s good deeds follow him. Fans and coworkers alike continue to share stories of his humility and thoughtfulness, making him a standout figure in Korea’s entertainment industry—not just for his looks or talent, but for his heart.

The Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' is a four-season journey set against the picturesque backdrop of Jeju Island. Starring IU, Moon So-ri, Park Bo-gum, and Park Hae-joon, the drama captures the evolving lives of Ae-soon and Gwan-sik with deep emotion and breathtaking cinematography.

Following its final episode, the series received high praise as a “perfectly bookended drama”—a rare achievement that began and ended beautifully.
