Annyeong yeoreobun! As my profile picture suggests, I'm a big fan of Park Bo Young and she's my reason for joining this community. It's my first time joining one, so I think I need to familiarize my self more about giving comments. While I develop my "assessment" skills, I hope I could learn not to be biased on giving my thoughts. For now that is all I guess, I'm glad to be a part of this. Gomapda

• Blamed a snail bride for not finding her eye glasses even if they're right in front of her
• Gets cutely angered (1st) when one commented that she should be careful while fan signing, (2nd) when one of her fans got arrested because of DUI, and (3rd) when some write weird thing in the comment: [Don't worry about people who are writing weird things. I don't know if there is a function to report this. I need to report them if they go too far. It's okay don't worry about it. If I see it often and stuff... What can I do? I need to report them. Really, this is the first and last time I'm saying this. I know that someone is posting things that are attacking me personally and sexually. Please stop now. If you do more, I'm really thinking of calling cyber crime (laughs). So please! Stop it now. I know that you hate me and I don't mind if you just say that you hate me, but I've been seeing a lot of serious curses and sexual things. I'm not going to say it again. If it's too much, I'm going to send you a piece of paper so come with that. I've been holding it in so if I do it, there's going to be no mercy. So please don't do it.]

• Did part time job at a jjajangmyeon restaurant: [I had a middle school friend who worked at the jjajangmyeon restaurant and she broke her back. She asked me to fill in for her for a couple of days, and the manager gave me bonus money. The manager secretly offered me, "Can you work for us if your friend quits?". I got the offer and I was thankful, but I declined.]
• Her commercial on "Sofy" she sang "Good Job, Today" (수고했어 오늘도)
• Her stylist's name is Seung Hee, same as her character's name in "On Your Wedding Day"
• Had an encounter with a person watching her in "2 Days and 1 Night" in a subway: [The lady next to me was looking at her phone, and she was watching the "2 Days & 1 Night" episode where I came out. So I just looked at it like this, and I came out. So I thought, "Oh! It's me!" So I kept looking at it. As I was doing that, this lady probably felt someone watching her. I sat on the left side and she sat on the right side. She was looking at it and sense someone was staring at her, she looked at me and it was me. Then that lady went... (re-enacts) She did this, so I said, "Yes, it's me!" I said that, and she went... (re-enacts) So I said, "I'm here for filming. It's me!" (giggles) The lady said, "Oh, yes". It was really fascinating! I looked next to me and she was watching me. She probably remembers, right? That's not common.]
• Shared how she picks a script: [When I read a script, "I think another person would do better than me. I think this person fits this more". There are things like that. It's not mine but you do it because you are greedy. I don't know if that's right. Other's things are others. If it seems like someone can do better than me then it's not mine. My greed is to show you good acting. I feel bad to the writer and things. The writer wrote it with their blood and sweat but I wonder if I will be able to express it well.]
• Went to a countryside and farmed one time. She planted lettuces only to be eaten by a gorani (elk): [I planted lettuces. I planted 190 seedlings. But an elk ate them all. I was so mad. An elk ate all my lettuce. I really, really worked hard to plant them. I'm a bit upset. I was going to go to water the lettuce, but next time, I'm going to plant peppers.]
• Did a collaboration with Sandoll to create a children's font using her own handwriting (here's the link: https://www.sandollcloud.com/font/Sandoll/863.html?lang=en_US)
• Someone sent an offending letter (I used "offending" based on how she reacted to it.): [I hope you can study hard with the amount of sincerity you put in that. I read all the letters and if I memorize your name like that, I'm not going to open it. I'm not going to read it, so you don't have to send it. I'm really not going to read it. That's my revenge. My revenge is not reading the letter you sent me. You're nothing against me.]
• Gave Moomin an appearance fee: [Are you that kind of person? (talking to Moomin) You need an appearance fee? Okay. Then I will give you an appearance fee. (stuck 5000 won on Moomin's arm) But cookies! I gave you a lot. Contracted for life (talking to fans). With that, Moomin can eat and live forever right? I gave a lot. (someone complained) Guys. 5000 won to Moomin is a lot. These people! How much... It's not even minimum wage? Okay I'll give you more then (Moomin). This is on me. Here! It's a bonus you punk, I'm giving you more because people kept on saying something. Work hard. Don't be lazy. Dis you know about this? (fans) I'm providing housing then I don't have to give minimum wage! He's living with me. He also doesn't pay taxes. (someone says she's a crook) Okay. You're saying to give from Moomin's perspective, right? Of course, you can't be stingy when you're employed.]
• Watching her movie with reporters: [I have to watch the movie, but I keep... (re-enacts) When a funny scene comes out... If they laugh, "oh what a relief!". But if they don't, "But this is a funny scene!" Right, as I'm watching the movie, "Are they enjoying it? Is the movie okay?" I really get self-conscious.]
• Shared about being on a variety show: [I really enjoy variety shows, but when I was. Some fans left me some bad comments by letter. I'm okay and fine, and I understand it. But, it was heart-breaking then. I felt sad that they didn't like me. Acting is the only thing you have to pursue because you are an actress. Some fans didn't like me to be on variety shows. But, personally, I find it interesting to watch some variety shows. Anyway well, I think I'm better at physical activities on shows, rather than talking. Talk shows are difficult. Don't you think so? Being ready to see when I cut in, and keeping track of conversations. It's hard to cut in at a proper timing. I often miss the right timing to chip in. I think I'm not a brilliant talker.]
