Actor Park Bo Gum’s sincerity and kindness once again became a hot topic—this time, even IU admitted his personality makes her feel “frustrated” in the best way possible!

On March 14, KBS2’s The Seasons – Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile aired its first episode, marking Park Bo Gum’s long-awaited return as an MC.

Since it was the show’s premiere, Park Bo Gum went all out—showcasing his talents by singing, dancing, and sharing special moments with his guests.

The episode featured a surprise visit from his long-time friends Kwak Dong Yeon, Kim Yoo Jung, and Jinyoung, who co-starred with him in Love in the Moonlight.

The three actors introduced themselves in a hilarious yet heartwarming way:
Kim Yoo Jung: “I’m the vestibular system that keeps Bo Gum oppa balanced when he feels dizzy.”
Jinyoung: “I’m the lungs that help Bo Gum hyung breathe through everything.”
Kwak Dong Yeon: “I’m the strong pillar—his supportive back muscles.”

Kim Yoo Jung jokingly predicted, “I think Bo Gum oppa is going to cry every week on this show.”

Kwak Dong Yeon added, “He cried so much during rehearsal that the wooden floor absorbed all the moisture—we might have to replace it.” ?

Park Bo Gum explained, “Seeing my dear friends take time out of their crazy schedules to support me… I could feel their encouragement just by looking at them, and I suddenly teared up.”

Jinyoung then revealed, “I actually had a script reading today, so I originally couldn’t come. But when the schedule got pushed back, I immediately called Bo Gum to say I’d be there.”

To return the love, the three actors secretly prepared a special surprise performance for Park Bo Gum. They sang a heartfelt song just for him, making the audience cheer.

Kwak Dong Yeon confessed, “We didn’t even practice it out loud during rehearsals because we wanted to keep it a surprise.”

Later in the show, former The Seasons MC Lee Young Ji was spotted in the audience, cheering loudly for Park Bo Gum.

Not one to miss out on fun, she suddenly jumped onto the stage and convinced him to do aespa’s Supernova dance challenge.

With a quick crash course in dancing, Park Bo Gum nailed the moves, drawing huge reactions from the audience!

Meanwhile, IU recently praised Park Bo Gum on Salon Drip 2, saying:
“He’s both hardworking and kind. If you combine those two things, you get Park Bo Gum.”

She continued, “The source of all his kindness is his insane stamina. No matter how exhausted he is, he still manages to be considerate of others. It actually makes me mad! There was a really difficult scene once, and even when he was drained, he told the director, ‘I could’ve done better, I’m so sorry.’ Watching that made me think, ‘Why am I not that kind of person?’ and it frustrated me.”

Park Bo Gum’s heartwarming personality and dedication to his craft continue to inspire both colleagues and fans alike.

Singer Lee Hyori is being praised once again for her touching act of kindness toward the late actress Choi Jin Sil’s mother, a story that has recently resurfaced online and has people calling her ‘Mother Hyorisa’ for a reason.

This story gained attention after Lee Hyori shared it during her appearance on the YouTube variety show Super Market Sora, which aired on February 7 of last year. On the show, Lee Hyori opened up about how she comforted Choi Jin Sil’s mother at the actress’s funeral, even though she wasn’t very close to Choi Jin Sil personally.

During the show, Lee Hyori shared, “At the funeral, Unnie (referring to Um Jung Hwa), Jin Young oppa, and Jin Sil unnie’s mother were there. I didn’t know most of them, and I was still young, so I didn’t really know how to comfort anyone. I just sat nearby and watched the unnies comfort her.”

She continued, “It was around 11 or 12 at night. Jin Young oppa seemed out of place with the others, so I went to his room. He played a duet song with Jin Sil unnie that was never released, and asked if I wanted to listen. The song even had a music video with candid moments of Jin Sil unnie. He cried while watching it. I was still young, so I just sat next to him. When I came out, all the unnies had left. I was going to leave too, but Jin Sil unnie’s mother asked if I could stay for just one night.”

Lee Hyori added, “I didn’t feel like saying no. I thought, ‘If I can be of help, I’ll stay.’ So I slept in her room, and she held me while sleeping. Then I had a dream. Jin Sil unnie came to me—even though I had never met her in person—and said, ‘Please take care of Hwan Hee and Joon Hee.’ It was a strange dream, but even so, I couldn’t keep visiting their house or taking care of the children after that.”'

This touching moment continues to earn Lee Hyori praise for her kind-hearted nature. Often called "Mother Hyorisa" by fans (a nickname combining "Hyo Ri" and "Mother Teresa"), Lee Hyori is known for her good deeds. She has volunteered for abandoned animals, anonymously donated masks to low-income groups during the early days of COVID-19, and gave 100 million won during the 2023 Gangwon wildfires.

Beyond her TV appearances, Lee Hyori has shown her sincerity on shows like Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast, where she was praised for remembering her guests and keeping in touch with them even after they left. Her actions speak louder than words, and this is exactly why people continue to call her "Mother Hyorisa."

Fans continue to be moved by her unwavering kindness and generosity, proving that Lee Hyori is truly a role model in more ways than one.
