Park Bo-gum (Hangul: 박보검; born 16 June 1993) is a South Korean actor and singer. He gained recognition for his diverse range of roles in film and television, notably, a psychopathic lawyer in Hello Monster (2015), a genius Go player in Reply 1988 (2015–2016), a Joseon Crown Prince in Love in the Moonlight (2016), a free-spirited man who falls for an older woman in Encounter (2018), and a model who overcomes various hardships to become a successful actor in Record of Youth (2020). He is the youngest of three siblings. "Bo-gum" (寶劍) means 'precious sword'. His mother died when he was in fourth grade. He started learning to play the piano when he was in kindergarten and was a pianist and choir member at church. He was also in the swimming varsity team of Seoul Mokdong Middle School. During Park's sophomore year of high school, he sent a video of himself singing and playing the piano to prominent talent management agencies which led to several offers. Park, who initially wanted to be a singer-songwriter, later changed his career path after a suggestion that he would do well acting. He graduated from Shinmok High School in 2012, and enrolled at Myongji University as a Musical Theater undergraduate in March 2014. The following year, he represented his university's cultural overseas exchange program where he traveled to cities in England, France, Italy, and Switzerland.
In the near future, an ordinary teenager and high school graduate named Hong Kang-min has just become sad after the death of his little sister, which causes drug addiction, alcoholism, and a hostile bad attitude. This results in a dysfunctional relationship with his parents and an attempt was made to help him religiously, but Kang-min does not accept this. Kang-min stubbornly resents and shuts out anyone who tries to make him stop what he is doing and wishes to escape from all the drama in his life. Then one day, he unexpectedly receives a mysterious virtual reality helmet called E.V.E, a game-like world ruled by a powerful entity from his dreams. As his last chance, Kang-min uses E.V.E to escape from his world and tries to discover the true meaning of his life as he encounters players, characters, mysteries, villains, clues, and strange obstacles in the world of E.V.E.
