Ramyun Shop’s Park Min-woo (Ba-wool) for the Girls
by | December 19, 2011 | 72 Comments

Ba-woooooool-ah! Rookie actor Park Min-woo is probably more recognizable by his Flower Boy Ramyun Shop character than his own name, but let’s see how that changes in the near future. He’s still inexperienced, but if he can translate his boyish charm into more memorable characters, I think he’s got a future.

Thanks to his new visibility, Park Min-woo’s also got spreads in two magazines for January: Vogue Girl and Elle Girl. I much prefer the cute, dimpley look in the above than the “chic, dandy” boy persona he adopts for Elle, but with any luck he’ll be soon appearing in lots of diversely themed spreads.

Among the topics covered in the magazine interviews: Being a “very overweight” child, enjoying more popularity in high school, aspiring to be a soccer player, getting started in acting, what it’s like to be recognized by the public, and the like.

    In the second picture he looks Amish.

    • 1.1 Cruelsummer

      That was my first thought.

      • 1.1.1 AuntieMame

        Count me in on that thought.

        For a newbie, he ‘aced’ the role of Ba-Wooooool. Looking foward to seeing him in other roles.

        • 1.1.1.1 Kgrl

          Agree. I have to say I’m more taken with his character than JIW’s. Reminds me of when I was watching Triple, how Song Joong Ki’s small, but completely becoming and natural, screen-time stole all my attention.

          • 1.1.1.1.1 WooHigh

            At first that was what I thought but then I saw the buttons. Amish do not use buttons for the feel they are to “handy.”

    • 1.2 Noelle

      same here LOL!

      Are there any Amish-ish people in Korea?

    • 1.3 come2noona

      Exactly what I thought!

    • 1.4 wenabon

      hehe I was thinking the same thing. He looks so different with his bangs down on his forehead in the last photo. I prefer the first one with his dimples showing. Too cute!

    • 1.5 kacamata

      I agree…..indeed that was my first impression, too…haha

    • 1.6 Toya

      LOL I said the same.

    • 1.7 Melissa

      wait don’t irish ppl wear kilts?…

      • 1.7.1 weebirdie

        Scottish people wear kilts (I hate that look in the picture though with the half kilt over so much denim) as much as the Amish look LOL so funny that we all thought he looks Amish, plus I don’t like his hair straight. We got too used to crazy chickens hair.

  2. Kristin

    That elle girl picture in the Black Hat just noooooo

    • 2.1 wish

      HAHAHAHAHA i was thinking the same

      cringeee

  3. megaratnas

    in loooooooove with the last picture ;)

  4. babylove

    Cutie :) he’s gonna have a lot of ajumma fans pretty soon lol

    • 4.1 djinni

      yeah, i have a totally inappropriate crush on him. he is my fave char from fbrs.

    • 4.2 Jomo

      Soon? NOW!

  5. YBisTOP

    ba-wooool! <3

  6. Mystisith

    He is Beautiful. And he has a very mobile, expressive face. He is like a young korean Jim Carrey to me.
    I just love his Elvis haircut in FBRS. And he has quite a nice voice too. I’m definitely waiting to see more of him on my screen. Work hard and succeed kid !!

  7. tooizzy

    OMG!! The third picture he looks like the asian version of that creepy preacher from the movie poltergiest. All I remember the preacher saying is “You’re going to die!”
    **Shudders***

    • 7.1 Noelle

      Or…or… Quentin Tarantino in Little Nicky!

  8. mae

    he kinda looks like shin min ah in the 3rd picture….

  9. Cruelsummer

    He’s a cutie, but what is with that awkward, kilt-wearing pose? Just show off those dimples and knock of the weirdness.

    • 9.1 Cruelsummer

      *off

  10. 10 Marg

    Why put such a sweet, charming-looking, pretty boy in such hideous outfits! WHY?! It’s a crime, I tell you…a crime against him and against fashion.

    • 10.1 K

      I so agree! What is up with the stylist? Is the theme here IRONY or CONTRASTS? Gahd. But I’m going to let this go because his Ba Wool character is still fresh in my mind. :)

  11. 11 Alvina

    Those dimples :D

  12. 12 Esmy

    first picture is awesome :)

  13. 13 Jessie

    How I wish my younger brother was as cute as him. Ba-wool-ah!!! He’s my favorite in FBRS after Lee Ki Woo. Yes you guys can take that Jung Il woo for yourselves.

  14. 14 li~~~

    whoa. in that last picture, his profile reminds me of a mix between jo kwon and g-dragon.

    • 14.1 bgr

      I so TOTALLY agree!!!

      So G-D.

  15. 15 Arhazivory

    The moment I first saw him in FBRS….I was sold on his cute looks. Those dimples + that smile = noona-killer.

  16. 16 cv

    LOL. Love the first picture but dang, the rest of the pics were just weird.

  17. 17 Kaddict4ever

    Me likey… He is so so so cute…
    Here’s to seeing moar of him in Kdrama…

  18. 18 Noelle

    I can totally see him in “geek” clothes wearing buddy holly glasses. He’d look so adorable!

  19. 19 Steamy Bun

    I… I don’t even know what to say to that second pic. It looks like something my high-school-age sister would wear as part of her “Look, I REALLY don’t care what people think of me!!” phase. LOL

    He’s really, really good looking. I’m having trouble getting through FBRS bc it’s just too silly for me and I don’t much care for JIW, but Bawool and the second lead are making it so hard to leave it. This kid is just way too cute!!

  20. 20 aardvarksmile

    The guy could basically just smile for a living. Unfortunately I cannot pay for that, but I’m pretty sure someone will. Heh, the life is so unjust ;)

  21. 21 Bananashorts

    Last picture … That jaw line <3

  22. 22 Bananashorts

    Btw … In the last picture whoever placed that ‘Elle girl’ watermark had a fun time doIng it… covering his man-junk.

    • 22.1 Y

      Lol! Was thinking ( looking) at it too! Bad thought ( he is young) ! Pls don’t dress him crazy!

  23. 23 Ani

    So adorable and cute.

  24. 24 come2noona

    He is darling!

  25. 25 Thatgirl

    Park Minwoo is AWESOME!!!!!
    I look forward to his future projects.
    Ba Wool, is my favorite Character in FBRS, but that role does require alot of over acting and silly annoyance.
    So… Next please! Don’t forget his name, its going to be BIG soon.

  26. 26 anna hae

    the first picture is ADORABLE!
    and the last one is DAYUM!

    more power to Park Min-woo.

  27. 27 malta

    He looks like Jay Park.

    • 27.1 jessie

      oh now that you mention it. Yes he is!

    • 27.2 jyyjc

      That’s what I thought when i first saw him in FBRS o_o I mean, if you put them side by side, they don’t look like each other but somehow he just gives me jay park vibes.

  28. 28 Jomo

    He really was consistently the funniest part of FBRS.
    I would like to see him play serious, too. He’s probably be awesome at that, too.

    He seems like he would be a director’s dream.
    “You want me to do what? Sit on the toilet, make faces, grunt, pretend to hear someone, then go back to the faces?
    NO PAR – OB – AH – LEM.”

    And the happy dance coming back from his kiss? Made my week watching him there.

  29. 29 Angielee

    Bawoooool ah!!!! lol it seems i scream that name every time I see him hahah.

    I saw his dramawiki….he’s listed as a character from my princess….anyone know which scene??

  30. 30 kdramafan89

    He is too cute and i love Ba Wool so funny. I hope he does another drama soon=D

  31. 31 nuri

    Omo!! Ba wool!

    I think he start to become the only reason I can’t wait to watch FBRS every week when he asked Pillar to have separate room with HyunWoo. That scene in the supermarket is so hilarious. Then when he found out about SoYi’s oppa, how heart broken he is.

    Will look forward to his next project.

  32. 32 JoAnne

    Ba Wool! We noonas and ahjummas LOVE you to pieces, you cute cute boy!

  33. 33 Kiki

    Pic #3 Glamorous barn raising.

  34. 34 MEL

    His devotion to Nunna Eun Bi and So Yi… quite adorable, thanks.. for sure we’ll see more of our Ba Wool…

  35. 35 adette

    he’s so pretty, why are the last few pictures so unfortunate D:

    you can’t even see his dimples. I LOVE HIS DIMPLES.

  36. 36 Joy

    I only have one small issue with his almost unibrow. Other than that Baaaawoool oppaaaaaa~~~

  37. 37 Yuaekito

    He’s like a real life version of a nice domyouji in FBRS… I just want to take him home though…

  38. 38 Christy

    Wait till this boy gets a little older he’s going to become a serious heartbreaker! Love his dimples!

  39. 39 Claire

    he is so cute! the first time i saw him i totally glued my eyes on him…haha…i’m glad he’s 2 years older than me ^^

    is it just me or he looks just a little bit like g-dragon?

    anyways i’m GD biased so maybe that’s it…lol

  40. 40 K

    BA WOOL AAAAAH! Bb is so cute. I’ll definitely miss his adorable character in FBRS. But I’m looking forward to his future dramas. Hopefully, he gets to have characters that are as adorable as FBRS, but in a totally different direction. :)

  41. 41 anicheung

    Even though I totally dote on Chi Soo when I’m blogging about FBRS, Ba Wool is by far my FAVORITE Flower Boy. He hit all the adorable notes just right and seems to have excellent comedic timing in the series. I look forward to seeing more of him in future dramas.

    Makes noonas all over melt with his pouty cuteness!

  42. 42 jyyjc

    He’s so cuuuuute! Hate the haircut in the last pic btw.

  43. 43 Vincy

    That smile is a killer. Love Ba-Wool soooo much!! (:

  44. 44 mariolawpanda

    Smiley is definitely more better for him. He is so cute. Creamy skin color, that height, those eyes, and that big smile; he definitely needs to be popular.

  45. 45 SEE

    He is soo hot

  46. 46 putihlilac

    so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  47. 47 nano

    i just fall for his dimple!!!
    really looking forward to see him in more project
    he’s just one eye catcing fellow

  48. 48 niikkk

    my gosh! that first pic is so cute!! rraawwrr >,< he's like the taller version of jay park (:

  49. 49 tamtam

    He should’ve been the Korean Domyoji. Looks very much like him with that hairstyle.

  50. 50 benxavier

    he keep remind me of Jay Park….for i dont know what reason…lol
