Hey friends! Come hang out at Mokdong Elementary School’s 4th Grade Homeroom 5!

 

While his mystery crush in “4th Grade, Homeroom X” has gotten netizens extremely curious, they also can’t get over what an unbelievably adorable fourth-grader Park Bo Gum was. A commenter also claimed to be a classmate of the actor from elementary school and said that he was always a nice kid.

57. “SO WHO WAS IT IN HOMEROOM X?”
58. “Yo, handsome man!”
59. “Omg, this is adorable.”
60. “How cute! LOL.”
61. “He is, indeed, a handsome man.”
62. “[Emoticon]”
63. “This is so cute… T_T”
64. “OMG, this is from my elementary school! LOL. I used to be friends with Bo Gum back then… He was such a nice kid. Haha.”

This is, however, not the first time Park Bo Gum’s past life has resurfaced and won hearts. While his supposed elementary school friend vouched for his niceness, his friend from middle school had previously revealed that the actor had stood up to school bullies for him. The two remained friends even in High School, and the friend thanked Park Bo Gum for his kindness through an online post.

Just as how you were the only student who didn’t bully me, even if the whole world is against you, I will always be on your side. I can’t forget the time you shared your umbrella with me at the Central Plaza when it rained.

It looks like fourth-grader Park Bo Gum summed up his future personality pretty accurately. He is indeed a “handsome man” and a “good boy” inside and outside of his home equally.
