Cutting hair is one thing. Understanding your customers is another. The variety show ***The Village Barber 2*** has released its first teaser, and **Park Bo Gum**, **Lee Sang Yi** and **Ko Kyung Pyo** have a surprising challenge in their new seaside salon: the local dialect. The show premieres in **November**.

## What Is The Village Barber 2?

It’s a variety show in which Park Bo Gum runs a barbershop in a small seaside village alongside his close friends Lee Sang Yi and Ko Kyung Pyo. This season, the trio opens their salon in **Tongyeong**. If you like feel-good [variety shows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_show) with a warm, small-town vibe, this one looks like a treat.

| **Format** | Variety show |
| **Cast** | Park Bo Gum, Lee Sang Yi, Ko Kyung Pyo (new) |

## Who Does What at the Salon?

- **Park Bo Gum:** He passed the national hairdresser certification exam on his second attempt, so he can now offer perm treatments himself.
- **Lee Sang Yi:** He takes care of nail services.
- **Ko Kyung Pyo:** He’s the new cast member and handles customer service while adjusting to running the business.

## The Language Barrier

Their biggest hurdle isn’t hair or nails. It’s the **Gyeongsang dialect** spoken by local residents. Struggling to follow what customers say, the trio is left flustered. Lee Sang Yi even admits he couldn’t understand a single thing.

The teaser also includes a **Tongyeong dialect quiz**. The three have to guess the meanings of local expressions such as *paida*, *ibagu* and *maengkki*. Their attempts to navigate the local language and culture are expected to be one of the season’s highlights.

## Why You Should Watch?

Season 2 shows the friends in new roles. Park Bo Gum has levelled up his skills, and Ko Kyung Pyo brings a fresh dynamic to the team. Add a charming coastal setting and cultural mix-ups, and you have the ingredients for a light, funny show.

If you’re new to the series, you can binge Season 1 on Viki. Park Bo Gum and Ko Kyung Pyo also appeared together in *Reply 1988*, which is on Viki as well.
