Renowned for their endearing on-screen chemistry in When Life Gives You Tangerines, K-drama stars IU and Park Bo Gum enjoyed another touching moment, this time in real life, when IU surprised Park Bo Gum during the last filming of his music discussion program, The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile.
IU's close connection with Park Bo Gum was demonstrated during the tearful reunion, which was caught on camera and swiftly went viral. The actor was visibly moved when she gave him a sincere letter and made an unexpected appearance.
A Friendship Beyond the Screen
Park Bo Gum and IU, both born in 1993, have maintained a close friendship over the years, often expressing admiration for each other. During the last shoot of The Seasons, IU sent in a video message congratulating Bo Gum on his successful run as the host.
“As much as it’s your last shoot of The Seasons, I wanted to congratulate you via this video message,” IU said. “I’m really sorry I couldn’t make it as a guest, but you know my heart. I watched the show almost every week.”
Bo Gum was visibly moved by her sincere words, shaking his head as she apologized.
Whose Surprise Was the Highlight?
The crowd was about to believe that the video message was over when IU unexpectedly showed up in person, carrying a bouquet of flowers and giving Bo Gum a gentle slap on the back. As IU greeted him as a friend, the Good Boy star was moved to tears by the unexpected gesture.
As the crowd chanted, "Don't cry," IU made an effort to keep the mood light by claiming she didn't anticipate making him cry. Clearly moved, Park Bo Gum asked, "What are you doing here?" with a look of surprise and appreciation.
A Memory to Cherish
IU disclosed that she had been waiting for the ideal opportunity and had successfully arranged the visit within her already full schedule of drama. In order to avoid putting her under strain during their encounter at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards, Bo Gum also disclosed that he did not extend an invitation to the show recently.
Fans of the well-loved performers created a memorable experience as the event came to a close with cheers and ovation from the live crowd, solidifying the pair's lifelong friendship.
