Park Bo Gum gets barber license while serving in military

Park Bo Gum isn't just a renowned South Korean actor, now he's also a licensed barber!

According to a Soompi report on Wednesday, the "Record of Youth" and "Encounter" star passed his barber license exam while serving in the military as a naval sergeant.

He took the exam at the Naval Education & Training Command in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province in December.

"The military encourages soldiers to obtain certificates that can be used for self-development or after discharging from the military, and [we are] preparing systems and conditions for this," a source from the military told Soompi.

"In addition to Sergeant Park, many soldiers are obtaining certificates in the military."

Bo Gum, who enlisted in the military last August 2020, is set to be discharged this April.
