Hyeri can't hide her jealousy of Park Bo Gum over When Life Gives You Tangerines' success, complains about joining Netflix late
Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun recently dropped by Hyeri's Hyell's Club to promote their Prime Video release Good Boy. Lately, Bo Gum's been on a winning streak, thanks to his Netflix smash When Life Gives You Tangerines. In the drama, he stars as Gwan Sik alongside IU; the show dominated global charts for consecutive weeks and even sparked full-blown 'Gwan Sik syndrome.' Meanwhile, Hyeri's Friendly Rivalry also arrived on Netflix at the same time but didn't quite hit Tangerines levels. But she made sure to show her playful jealousy, barely hiding how much that stung. Also read: Park Bo Gum made a request to Kim So Hyun years ago: 'Remember this when the time comes'; the story behind Good Boy casting The trio kicked off their chat with plenty of behind-the-scenes talk from Good Boy—Bo Gum's second big project this year. The K-drama follows a group of athletes-turned-rookie cops. The three shared laughs, threw compliments around, and somewhere in between, Bo Gum casually mentioned he'd just finished watching Friendly Rivalry. He praised Hyeri for her performance, saying, 'It was so impressive yet surprising at the same time.' But instead of looking flattered, the Reply 1988 star pouted and playfully reminded him how When Life Gives You Tangerines stole the spotlight. 'We joined Netflix a bit late, and by then, Tangerines was already number one,' she said. 'But honestly, it's one of the standout works in Oppa's filmography. Everyone's just going to call you Gwan Sik now.' In response, Bo Gum didn't downplay the success and instead thanked her for remembering the character. 'I'm grateful and honoured to have such a project in my filmography. Thank you for remembering me as Gwan-sik. Being remembered as a character is precious and meaningful for an actor.' He added, 'I hoped the story would warm the world, and I'm glad it resonated well.' Bo Gum and Hyeri go way back to their breakout roles as Choi Taek and Go Deok Sun in the 2015 hit Reply 1988. The duo's off-screen friendship has stayed solid since, and fans got a sweet throwback recently when they showed up together at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards—posing for a few couple shots that instantly reignited the nostalgia. Hyeri later took to Instagram, writing, 'It was such a valuable and honoured moment just to be nominated for the Baeksang Arts Daesang! I will continue to work hard in acting and repay you with an even better version of myself. Thank you so, so much!!!!'

He burst into laughter and suddenly called the producer to fix Hyeri's hair. 'I was looking at you and I thought you were wearing headphones.' While she got her hair fixed, the actor found a hairpin and offered, 'I'll fix your hair if it rises again.' To which his Good Boy co-star Kim So Hyun added, 'He's really good with hair.' Then Bo Gum revealed he has a certificate in hairdressing, which he earned while serving in the military. 'I got it in the military. I was a barber.' Hyeri curiously asked, 'Do you have to take an exam?' Bo Gum replied, 'You have to take an exam. You have to know how to handle hot irons and also know how to cut hair.'

I told So Hyun there was a project I really wanted to do with her,' the Reply 1988 actor said. 'I hoped that if she ever received the script, she would enjoy it and consider joining. I'm grateful she remembered and that we're now able to work together on Good Boy,' he added, heaping praise on the Dream High star. 'She suits the role of Hanna so well. I believe many viewers will discover new sides of her and be drawn to her charm.'

Recalling how fans have always wanted to see them together ever since the 2015 award ceremony moment, she added, 'I'm really looking forward to how he portrays his character in Good Boy.' Lee Sang Yi quickly added, 'If we were to win any awards, I'd hope for recognition in categories like Best Drama, Best Direction, or Best Cinematography rather than individual awards.' In the later part of the interview, Bo Gum revealed that Good Boy is going to be a full entertainment package with a fast plot progression that almost feels like reading a comic book. In the drama, Bo Gum plays the role of Yoon Dong Joo, a boxing champ and former gold medalist who turns rookie.
