You Won’t Believe What Park Bo-gum’s Text Messages Are Like

In the May 28 episode of Narae Style, the Good Boy cast—Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Heo Sung-tae—sat down for a relaxed chat ahead of their drama’s premiere. To the delight of viewers, Park Bo-gum dropped in unannounced to support his fellow castmates, bringing his signature warmth and sincerity to the show.

During the episode, Park turned to host Park Na-rae and said, “I hope you meet someone great—someone who really loves you,” drawing laughter with his unexpected heartfelt comment. When he asked Na-rae about her own ideal type, she responded with a smile, “Someone handsome and humorous.”

Lee Sang-yi also opened up about his ideal type, saying, “I resemble my mom in many ways. She has more Western features and is quite tall—over 170 cm.” Park, who met Lee’s parents during filming, added, “They’re really stylish.”

As for his own preferences, Park Bo-gum shared, “I want to meet someone who feels like a friend.” He elaborated, “Someone who’s passionate about their work, full of love, treats their family well, and has a warm heart.”

“Like an AI Wrote It”: Lee Sang-yi Praises Park Bo-gum’s Texting Habits

Lee Sang-yi went on to praise Park Bo-gum’s thoughtful personality and unique habits, saying, “He really understands boundaries. Even as a friend or colleague, he always speaks with kindness and never makes people feel uncomfortable.”

Lee also shared a humorous detail: “He doesn’t make any spelling mistakes in his texts. I honestly thought they were written by an AI.” Heo Sung-tae agreed, saying Park’s texts are so well-composed, they’re instantly recognizable—even without a sender ID.

Heo added a playful note about their castmates, saying, “Bo-gum writes like that, but the slowest to reply is So-hyun (Kim So-hyun), and the fastest is Wonsuk (Tae Won-seok). I’m somewhere in between—I give off more of a ‘middle-aged man’ vibe, while Sang-yi talks about totally different things. It’s hilarious.”
