Sadly, Park Bo-gum was heading to his agency’s company and he was attending a meeting. Kim Jong-kook explained to him about their mission to find a celebrity with an 8-ratio and he thought that Park Bo-gum suited the mission. Kim Jong-kook even went as far as saying Park Bo-gum has a 9-ratio. Being known as humble and a good-natured guy, Park Bo-gum refused to be called an 8-ratio. He was sorry that he couldn’t join the mission and help them. He said goodbye and asked both of his seniors to take care of their health since it was a very hot summer.
