tvN has revealed a star-studded guest lineup for ‘Bogum Magical 2,’ with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, Um Ji Won, Ahn Eun Jin, and Heo Sung Tae joining Park Bo Gum, Lee Sang Yi, and Go Kyung Pyo as one-day part-timers at the show’s seaside hair salon. The second season premieres on November 29 and will air every Sunday at 7:45 p.m. on tvN, with streaming on TVING.
The lineup was unveiled in a guest teaser released on October 30. The clip opens on the aprons of the three main cast members, then lines up four more aprons beside them, each embroidered with a guest’s name. Jisoo, Um Ji Won, Ahn Eun Jin, and Heo Sung Tae are then shown in turn, briefly at work inside the salon, before the teaser closes on Park Bo Gum opening the shop doors to welcome customers. Multiple Korean outlets, including Sports Kyunghyang and bnt News, reported the same lineup and premiere date on October 31, confirming the teaser as the show’s official reveal rather than a rumor.
Jisoo draws the most attention in the teaser, and for good reason. Introduced as a world star, the BLACKPINK member appears with a bright smile and falls naturally into step with the three hosts, showing a friendly, easygoing charm that stands apart from her stage presence. The appearance marks her first time sharing a variety show with Park Bo Gum, and the production is clearly banking on that first pairing: the teaser lingers on how comfortably she blends in with the trio rather than standing apart from them as a visiting celebrity.
Um Ji Won arrives with a different kind of connection to the show. She has previously described herself as a genuine fan of the first season of ‘Bogum Magical,’ and Korean reports note that she once described Park Bo Gum as a being from another world, a measure of the admiration she has openly expressed for him. That fan-turned-guest angle gives her appearance its own storyline, since viewers will be watching to see whether the real-life fan lives up to the salon’s pace once she is behind the counter.
Ahn Eun Jin brings a real-life friendship into the salon. She and Lee Sang Yi are classmates from the Korea National University of Arts and are known to be close friends, which should give their on-screen teamwork an unforced rhythm. Korean coverage also points to the bright energy and hands-on work ethic she showed on tvN’s ‘Sister’s Farm Direct Delivery’ as a preview of what she will bring to the hair shop, where guests are expected to pitch in rather than simply pose for the cameras.
Heo Sung Tae completes the lineup as the show’s scene-stealer. He previously worked with Park Bo Gum and Lee Sang Yi on the drama ‘Good Boy,’ so his appearance is a reunion as much as a guest spot, and Korean reports highlight the strong adaptability he showed on the variety show ‘Busan Boys in Sydney.’ In a format built on unscripted encounters with local customers, a performer known for quick reactions and comic timing is a natural fit for the salon floor.
The guest lineup lands on top of a premise that already worked in the first season. ‘Bogum Magical 2’ follows Park Bo Gum, Lee Sang Yi, and Go Kyung Pyo as they run a hair salon in a small seaside village, in this season’s case the Tongyeong branch, styling residents’ hair and sharing conversations with the people who walk through the door. The first season began airing in January, and the show’s appeal has rested on sincerity rather than spectacle: the hosts are expected to do real salon work, not simply play at it. That is especially true for Park Bo Gum this season, after he earned South Korea’s national hairdresser license on his second attempt and can now offer perm services that were beyond his reach in Season 1.
What makes this guest group notable is how deliberately mixed it is. Rather than four guests from the same world, tvN has assembled a global K-pop star, a veteran film actress who is openly a fan of the show, a romantic-comedy lead with a genuine friendship tie to a host, and a character actor with proven chemistry with two of the hosts. Each guest reaches a different audience, and each brings a different reason to watch: Jisoo for the first-time pairing, Um Ji Won for the fan’s-eye view, Ahn Eun Jin for the friendship dynamic, and Heo Sung Tae for the reunion.
No further details about the guests’ episode order or specific salon duties have been announced beyond what the teaser shows.‘Bogum Magical 2,’ directed by Son Soo Jung, premieres on tvN on November 29 at 7:45 p.m., airing weekly on Sundays.
