BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Joins ‘The Village Barber 2’ With Park Bo-gum—Fans Are Already Losing It!
Updated: 4 days ago
Park Bo-gum and BLACKPINK's Jisoo in the same variety show?
It is finally happening.
Jisoo has reportedly completed filming for a guest appearance on The Village Barber 2, the second season of Park Bo-gum's popular tvN variety show. The unexpected news has already sent fans into a frenzy, especially because there was no obvious connection between Jisoo and the show's main cast before this appearance.
While fans will have to wait until the show's return to see what happened during filming, one thing is already clear: Park Bo-gum and Jisoo sharing the screen is an unexpectedly exciting combination.
Jisoo Has Finished Filming The Village Barber 2
According to a report released on September 10, Jisoo has already completed filming for The Village Barber 2.
The BLACKPINK member reportedly traveled to Tongyeong in South Gyeongsang Province for the shoot, joining Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Go Kyung-pyo for the upcoming season.
Interestingly, Jisoo does not have a particularly close prior connection with any of the three main cast members. That makes her appearance even more unexpected.
And perhaps that is exactly why fans are so excited.
Rather than bringing in a guest because of an obvious drama or friendship connection, the show is simply bringing Jisoo into the unusual countryside world of Park Bo-gum's barber shop.
What Is The Village Barber About?
The Village Barber is not a typical celebrity talk show.
The variety program follows Park Bo-gum as he runs a small hair salon in a quiet rural village. The actor previously served as a military barber and also holds a national barber's license, making the concept surprisingly fitting for him.
He is joined by his close friends Lee Sang-yi and Go Kyung-pyo, who help run the countryside salon and interact with residents and celebrity guests.
The idea is simple but charming.
The cast does not only cut hair. They spend time with people, listen to their stories and create a warm community atmosphere around the salon.
That gives the show plenty of opportunities for unexpected conversations and funny moments.
And now Jisoo is stepping into that world.
Why Fans Are So Excited About Park Bo-gum and Jisoo
The biggest reason this casting news is getting so much attention is how unexpected the pairing is.
Park Bo-gum is one of Korea's most recognizable actors, while Jisoo is a global K-pop star and a member of BLACKPINK. Both have enormous international fanbases, but they are not a pairing viewers regularly see together on variety shows.
That makes their first proper interaction on The Village Barber 2 especially interesting.
Fans are already wondering what their chemistry will look like outside the scripted world of dramas and music videos.
Will Jisoo be comfortable in the relaxed countryside setting?
Will Park Bo Gum put his barber skills to work?
And, most importantly, what happens when one of BLACKPINK's biggest stars walks into his tiny village salon?
Those are exactly the kinds of questions that could make Jisoo's episode one of the season's most anticipated appearances.
Jisoo Could Bring a Completely Different Energy to the Show
The Village Barber has a very relaxed concept, which could give fans a different side of Jisoo.
Instead of seeing her on a concert stage or in a highly produced music video, viewers will get to watch her interact with Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Go Kyung-pyo in a much more casual environment.
That is also where variety shows can become surprisingly fun.
Jisoo has previously shown that she can be playful and unexpectedly funny when she is away from the polished image of BLACKPINK. Putting her in a rural hair salon with three actors could create plenty of naturally funny moments.
And with Park Bo-gum leading the show, there is already a warm atmosphere for her to fit into.
The Village Barber 2 Is Returning in November
The second season of The Village Barber is scheduled to air in November 2026.
Park Bo-gum is returning to lead the show, with Lee Sang-yi and Go Kyung-pyo joining him this time.
Go Kyung-pyo takes the place of Kwak Dong-yeon, who was part of the original lineup but cannot return for the new season because of his military service.
It also welcomed several surprise guests, including Park Hae-joon, Choi Dae-hoon, Rain, Yoon Nam-no, and Kim So-hyun, who joined the salon and helped with its activities.
With Jisoo now confirmed as one of the guests for Season 2, the show already has another major name capable of attracting attention from outside the usual variety-show audience.
Until The Village Barber Season 2 arrives, fans can catch up on all 10 episodes of Season 1 on Viki, and here's the trailer to give you a glimpse of what made the show so popular.
Final Thoughts
Park Bo-gum and Jisoo were probably not the celebrity pairing anyone expected to see together on a rural barber-shop variety show, which is exactly why this casting news feels so fun.
The Village Barber 2 is already returning with a new cast lineup, but adding Jisoo to the mix could make her episode one of the season's biggest talking points.
Now all we need is a teaser.
