The rural barbershop is reopening for business. tvN has officially confirmed that “The Village Barber” Season 2 will premiere this November, bringing back the cozy, slow-living variety format that won over fans in its first run — with one notable cast shake-up.
The original season, which wrapped on April 3, followed Park Bo Gum running a barbershop in a remote village alongside close friends Lee Sang Yi and Kwak Dong Yeon, delivering equal parts heartwarming friendship and rural charm. This time around, Kwak Dong Yeon won’t be returning — but stepping in to fill the trio is Ko Kyung Pyo, and the anticipation around his addition is already high.

Here’s the fun part: Park Bo Gum and Ko Kyung Pyo aren’t strangers to working together. The two share a friendship spanning more than a decade, having previously co-starred in both “Naeil’s Cantabile” and the beloved “Reply 1988.” That built-in chemistry has fans expecting Ko Kyung Pyo to slide into the group dynamic seamlessly.
Filming is expected to kick off at the end of August, giving the cast a few months to prep before cameras roll.
