Park Bo-gum Serenades KL Crowd With His Rendition Of “Belaian Jiwa”

During the weekend, Malaysian fans were treated to Korean actor, Park Bo-gum’s rendition of the classic local tune “Belaian Jiwa”, originally sang by 70s pop band Carefree.

As part of his “May Your Everyday be a Good Day” Asian tour, Park Bo-gom surprised the crowd when he sat at a piano to perform the tune. To many of their surprise, the actor delivered a more than decent cover of the classic hit, as well as a pretty decent pronunciation for the Malay language.

Park Bo-gom also declared his love for the country, noting, “Malaysia was my first stop during my first Asian fan meet tour in 2016. Perhaps this is why I feel attached to this country.”

Park’s last visit to the country was an appearance at Samsung’s Galaxy S9 launch last year.
