Actor Park Bo-young grabbed attention as she opened up about living with a friend and shared candid thoughts about getting older.
On the April 14 broadcast of the SBS variety show Whenever Possible, actors Lee Kwang-soo and Park Bo-young joined Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok for a lighthearted outing around Guri.
While chatting over a meal, Park spoke honestly about her daily routine. “I don’t usually cook,” she admitted. “I mostly order delivery.” But lately, things have changed—she started living with a close friend she’s known since high school.
“My friend found a job in Seoul, so we ended up moving in together,” Park said, adding, “I told her to take her time looking for a place, and we’ve been living together—it’s been so great.” She emphasized that her roommate is “my closest friend,” showing deep trust and affection. She also shared that living together has led to more simple home-cooked meals.
As the cheerful conversation flowed, the topic naturally shifted to time and age. Enjoying the spring scenery on a walk, Park said, “These days, flowers catch my eye a lot,” explaining that she snaps photos and shares them with her family. When asked her age, she replied, “I’m 37,” admitting, “It really feels like forty is just around the corner.”
“I was happy to enter my thirties, but facing my forties feels different,” Park confessed. “Time seems to be flying by.” Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwang-soo empathized and comforted her, adding some laughs. Yoo remarked, “I met Kwang-soo when he was in his twenties, and I can’t believe he’s already over forty,” reflecting on how quickly time passes.
Meanwhile, the episode of Whenever Possible featuring Lee Kwang-soo and Park Bo-young saw its ratings climb, topping Tuesday variety shows with a metropolitan-minute peak of 6.9%, household 4.7%, and 2049 demo 1.7% according to Nielsen Korea.
