[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Actor Park Bo-gum confessed his childhood dream.

On the 20th, the KBS 2TV variety show ‘Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook’ featured Lee Seung-chul celebrating his 35th debut anniversary by performing his hit songs.

He explained the recent increase in his variety show appearances by saying, "I want to show many sides beyond music," and humorously remarked on the popularity of the 'Eoseowa' parody meme, saying, "These things are important for managing popularity."

Notably, actor Park Bo-gum appeared as a piano accompanist on the show. Lee Seung-chul and Park Bo-gum presented a joint stage for the fans. Park Bo-gum played the piano accompaniment for the OST "I Love You Very Much" from the webtoon 'Dalbitjogaksa' released in January this year, continuing the performance with Lee Seung-chul.

Lee Seung-chul praised him, saying, “It’s difficult to perform with a band, but you did really well.” Park Bo-gum expressed gratitude to Lee Seung-chul, who proposed this stage, and revealed his admiration as a fan, noting that Lee Seung-chul, who has never appeared in a music video since his debut, acted in the webtoon 'Dalbitjogaksa' OST music video.

He also revealed that his dream was to be a singer in the past. Before debuting as an actor, he wanted to be a singer-songwriter but became an actor following the suggestion of his agency’s CEO.

However, Park Bo-gum is pursuing his goals as a musician by enrolling in graduate school for New Media Music and releasing a Christmas album last winter. He remade Jeokjae’s "Let’s Go See the Stars" from two years ago, and Lee Seung-chul highly praised the song, saying, "I like the pure voice. I choose people like this during auditions."

Moreover, he shared that he is currently preparing a project with Sam Kim from Antenna Music.

Meanwhile, the KBS 2TV variety show ‘Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook’ aired on the same day featured Lee Seung-chul, Park Bo-gum, Younha, Kwon Soon-kwan, and Gift.
