Park Bo Gum has a lot to offer after being away from the spotlight for nearly two years.

Park Bo Gum bid goodbye to his fans when he was officially enlisted in August 2020. His agency revealed that he decided to enlist at that time due to the worldwide health crisis. After spending six weeks in having basic training, he began serving the naval music corps.

Although he did not appear in any dramas since then, he reconnected with the fans when he appeared in an episode of the military cooking show, Chef’s Special Meal.

After a long wait, he will see his fans again and mark his comeback at the 58th Baeksang Awards.
