[INDONESIA] Park Bo Gum Brings Love and Warmth to Jakarta at [BE WITH YOU] Fan Meeting

It has been six years since Park Bo Gum last set foot in Jakarta, but for fans, the wait was worth every second. On August 31, 2025, the actor finally returned with PARK BO GUM 2025 FAN MEETING TOUR [BE WITH YOU] IN JAKARTA, filling ICE BSD Hall 1 with cheers, smiles, and brand-new memories to cherish.

The fan meeting began with a burst of energy as Park Bo Gum lit up the stage with a sweet cover of Hello by Joy from Red Velvet. He then sang Fine by SORAN. Smiling brightly, he greeted fans in fluent Indonesian, “Hello, Jakarta! Apa kabar? Saya Park Bo Gum. Aku kangen kalian!” (How are you? I’m Park Bo Gum, I missed you all), earning thunderous cheers from the crowd. Taking a moment to look back, he thanked fans who had been with him since his last Jakarta fan meeting. He also warmly welcomed those seeing him live for the very first time.

Showing just how much he loves his fans, Park Bo Gum revealed that he took part in every detail of the fan meeting. From the title and concept to the content, every part carried his heart. He shared that this was his way of giving back to those who have supported him since debut, calling them the reason he is where he is today. By choosing the title BE WITH YOU, he hopes to be a source of comfort and strength for fans, just as they have always been his greatest strength.

The fan meeting carried the theme of traveling with Park Bo Gum by train, with fans boarding at the Jakarta 8/31 platform. The first stop, B-Cut Station, was where he shared unseen photos and stories from his everyday life. He kicked things off with a shot of the Hong Kong sky he captured on his way to Jakarta. He explained that the colors reminded him of his lightstick, Forevong, so he wanted to share it with his Indonesian fans.

The second photo showed a street sign directing people to his fan meeting. Park Bo Gum said he was both amazed and honoured to see his name displayed on a street sign in Indonesia. He also shared a snapshot he took with his banner on the morning of the fan meeting. Unaware that some fans had spotted him, he was deeply touched to learn they chose not to approach in order to respect his privacy. It was such a beautiful example of the mutual respect and love that define Bo Gum’s bond with his fans.

Through his role as Yang Gwan Sik in the emotional drama When Life Gives You Tangerine, Park Bo Gum once again captured the hearts of fans around the world. He shared that he felt deeply honored to be part of such a warm and meaningful project. To him, the drama’s global success lies in its universal themes of love, family, and friendship, which transcend language barriers. His acting was so realistic that the MC playfully joked Indonesian fans were ready to start a donation drive for poor Gwan Sik, leaving Bo Gum laughing along with the crowd.

Speaking about Good Boy, Park Bo Gum said he was drawn to the role of Yoon Dong Joo because of his determination and his spirit of fair play as a former athlete. He confessed that he found Dong Joo so cool that it made him want to be like him too! The actor also touched hearts by saying he wants to support everyone who lives with kindness and always stands for justice, including his beloved fans in Indonesia.

The next stop was the Be With You Station, where Park Bo Gum personally granted fans’ wishes—from a staring contest to the Poppy challenge. He also offered to take selfies with each of the lucky fans. Among them were two best friends whose bond began at Park Bo Gum’s 2017 fan meeting. Since one of their birthdays fell in August, Bo Gum was asked to sing a happy birthday song, which he gladly did. He then suggested celebrating everyone with August birthdays, and the entire crowd sang along in one big birthday party moment. But that was not all! Park Bo Gum showered fans with a big bundle of gifts—everything from his official merchandise to his endorsement items, and even the cap he once wore when moving from Hong Kong to Jakarta in 2019, all of which were signed by him.

Known not only as an amazing actor but also for his musical talent, Park Bo Gum delivered heartfelt performances for his fans. Accompanied by the piano, he also fulfilled their song requests with Lee Hi’s Breathe, Insooni’s Goose’s Dream, and DAY6’s You Were Beautiful. Once again, he was pleasantly surprised that everyone knew the songs and sang along from start to finish. To make the night even more special, he sang Indonesian songs too—Untukku by Chrisye, the very same piece he sang at his fan meeting six years ago, and bergema sampai selamanya by Nadhif Basalamah, which he said he discovered only after arriving in Indonesia and was drawn to because of its lyrics.

Of course, Park Bo Gum did not leave out his own songs like My Person, the beloved OST from Love in the Moonlight, All My Love, On My Way, and Waterfall, which is also an OST he sang for his latest drama, Good Boy. Taking things to the next level, he went down the stage to greet fans at a closer distance as he performed a nostalgic cover of Let’s Go See the Stars, originally by Jukjae. It was such a sweet gesture that gave fans a precious, more personal moment with him.

To return Bo Gum’s love and kindness, fans prepared a special video project that moved him to tears. The video featured RAN’s Jauh di Mata, Dekat di Hati (out of sight, but not out of mind), a song that beautifully symbolises the deep bond between him and his fans. With a heart full of gratitude, he ended the fan meeting by wishing everyone happiness and good health until the day they meet again.
