A solo traveler’s once-in-a-lifetime experience with Park Bo Gum is gaining attention online, with netizens calling it something straight out of a K-drama. The fan shared her incredible encounters with the actor during her trip to the United States, and her posts quickly went viral for their surreal nature.
First Encounter: Meeting at the Airport
The traveler, posting under @gummyblue_ on X (formerly Twitter), described her nervous excitement when she first met Park Bo Gum at the airport. Despite her hesitancy, she mustered up the courage to ask for a photo, and the actor graciously obliged. She recounted:
“I was more nervous about this than going through immigration. I asked if we could take a picture if it weren’t too much trouble, and he gladly took a photo. I was so worried this would bother him, so I was thankful. He asked me if I was on a trip and told me to have a good time. He was so sweet and handsome. The best!”
A Surprise Reunion at Griffith Observatory
What seemed like an already unforgettable moment took an unexpected turn when the fan encountered Park Bo Gum again, this time at the Griffith Observatory. The actor recognized her instantly and started the conversation. She shared:
“OMG, I’m so happy right now, but I’m also laughing at the situation because it’s so ridiculous. As soon as I got to the Griffith Observatory, I bumped into Park Bo Gum again. As soon as he saw me, he acted as if he knew me first and asked if I was the person from the airport. How can something like this happen? The funny thing is he asked if I came alone and he took a picture for me after we took a picture together. This is so funny I’m actually crying from laughing.”
The fan still couldn’t get over the fact that something like this could happen to them.
I’m laughing by myself like a crazy person. From immigration to now, how can this happen? Park Bo Gum told me to have a great trip…this all feels like a dream.
Park Bo Gum’s Sweet Gesture
The fan couldn’t stop marveling at the kindness of the actor, who not only took photos with her but even took photos for her since she was traveling solo. She shared:
“Park Bo Gum took photos for me because I was on a trip alone. I couldn’t get it together and told him I couldn’t take photos. So funny. I didn’t have any makeup on and was wearing comfortable clothes. But regardless, he took such great photos with a lot of effort. This whole situation is so interesting and ridiculous and funny.”
A Day She Never Imagined
Reflecting on the surreal experience, the fan expressed disbelief over the day’s events:
“Never in my lifetime would I have thought that a day when Park Bo Gum would take my photos for me…I mean it would already be unthinkable even if it was a dream..but this is reality.”
Sweet Words About Park Bo Gum and His Manager
She also praised Park Bo Gum and his manager for their warm personalities:
“What are the odds of bumping into him in this huge land? And don’t people usually go to the observatory at night? But because I couldn’t sleep on the plane, I just came here early before check-in. This was the place I usually go to first when I visit LA, and to think I would bump into him—so crazy. He took pictures with me and with other people who recognized him. I told his manager that I was sorry for all this, but his manager was an angel. Both of them are such angels…”
