Korean stars Park Bo Gum and IU recently reunited on the finale of “The Seasons: Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile,” where Bo Gum surprised everyone by revealing his extreme methods for maintaining clear skin on camera.

A Shocking Beauty Secret Revealed

The highly anticipated reunion of “When Life Gives You Tangerines” co-stars Park Bo Gum and IU brought a mix of laughter, emotion, and surprising confessions. During the season finale of “The Seasons: Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile,” IU playfully teased Bo Gum about his famously flawless complexion.

Responding to her playful jab that dermatologists must be nervous because of him, Bo Gum joked, “People say looking at my face is like getting a facelift.” However, the lighthearted banter took a serious turn when he shared his personal beauty regimen.

Bo Gum admitted to a surprising habit: he would intentionally skip meals and avoid drinking water the day before filming. His goal was simple: to prevent any pimples from appearing on screen and ensure he looked his absolute best.

“Every week before the shoot, I’d skip food completely, just to keep the pimples away,” he confessed. IU, visibly surprised, asked, “Even you, Bo Gum?” He added that reducing water intake also helped him feel more energetic on set.

Beyond the Confession: Laughter and Tributes

The episode wasn’t just about beauty secrets; it was also a farewell to Bo Gum’s time as host. Amidst the candid discussions, Bo Gum also shared a humorous moment regarding a past guest, Jang Deul Lae, jokingly mentioning a desire to remove a wedding ring before quickly congratulating her on her marriage.

His witty remark drew laughter from the audience, showcasing his playful side even as his hosting tenure concluded. The segment highlighted the comfortable and engaging atmosphere Bo Gum fostered on the show.

A Special Farewell Message from BTS’s V

A highlight of the finale was a heartwarming video message from Park Bo Gum’s close friend, Kim Taehyung, famously known as V from BTS. V, who couldn’t attend in person due to his work on BTS’s next album in the US, made sure to send his well wishes.

In his message, V expressed regret for not being able to join Bo Gum on the show. He promised to make an appearance if a future opportunity arose, reassuring fans that a new BTS album is on its way next spring.
