Actor Park Bo Gum recently shared his dedication to maintaining control over his public image by personally reviewing every photo before it gets released. The actor, known for his professionalism, discussed this habit during a radio appearance, explaining why he considers it a crucial part of his career.
Park Bo Gum’s Daily Routine and Work Ethic
During his guest appearance on SBS PowerFM’s Din Din’s Music High on July 30, 2025, Park Bo Gum opened up about his daily life when he’s not filming. He revealed that he starts his mornings early, going for a run with his senior Sean to avoid the summer heat.
“I usually wake up early and go for a run with senior Sean. Since it’s really hot these days, we go out early in the morning. I haven’t had much time to run lately, but when I do have a completely free day, we’ll run at dawn.”
After their run, they eat simple meals like gimbap, and Park Bo Gum takes time to rest before handling work-related tasks. He mentioned receiving notifications to review photos and respond to messages, emphasizing his hands-on approach to managing his career.
Why Park Bo Gum Checks Every Photo Himself
When host Din Din asked if he personally approves every photo before release, Park Bo Gum confirmed it, explaining his mindset.
“You could call it that, but I think of it as part of my filmography. It’s not just about photos — everything I do under my name is part of who I am. I believe nothing should move forward without me being aware or involved. That’s very important to me.”
This level of attention to detail has earned him respect in the industry, with fans praising his strong work ethic. Many see this habit as a reflection of his commitment to maintaining authenticity in his public persona.
