Actor Park Bo-gum is making a return to the small screen through a new variety program.

A tvN official told Xportsnews on Sept. 16 that “Park Bo-gum is preparing for a new variety show with us. It is scheduled to air on tvN, but the details have not yet been decided.”

On the same day, YTN reported that Park will appear in tvN’s upcoming show “The Barber.” The program will follow Park as he opens a barbershop for older adults in a rural area, sharing conversations and building connections in the community.

Park previously earned a barber’s license in 2020 during his military service, when he worked as a military barber.

Alongside his variety show return, Park has been active this year through multiple projects, including Netflix’s “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” JTBC’s “Good Boy” and KBS 2’s “The Seasons: Park Bo-gum’s Cantabile.”

After wrapping up his Asia fan meeting tour, Park is set to head to South America. He will also hold a domestic encore performance, “PARK BO GUM 2025 FAN MEETING TOUR [BE WITH YOU] FINAL IN SEOUL,” at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul’s Seongbuk District on Oct. 11.
