The K-Wave magazines November 2015 editions
A couple of weeks ago, I saw part of Park Sihoo-ssi’s interview with K-Wave magazine. What I saw earlier and shared in “A teaser on K-Wave“ covered his views on his new drama, its plot, his relationship with fellow cast and crew, how he kept fit, his pursuit of happiness and his perspective on change.
Finally, I received my long awaited, much coveted copy of the magazine! And I have been pouring over those gorgeous photos and catching up on the rest of Park Sihoo-ssi’s frank answers to K-Wave’s interview.
Park Sihoo-ssi is extraordinarily special!
Below is what the editor concluded about Park Sihoo-ssi and the gist of the rest of his interview.
“SUPER ORDINARY No adornments or enhancements. The focus in life is on what everyone experiences but not what everyone can overcome. Substance, belief and principle, he dreams of the ordinary life and that makes him even more special. This is Park Sihoo.” – K-Wave magazine
Park Sihoo-ssi likes Italy. He spent a week touring its southern region after wrapping up his Italian photo shoot. Being a foodie who loves trying out local cuisine, the simple Italian fare appealed to him and he indulged in his favorite pasta twice a day while he was there.
During his filming in China, being the foodie that he is, the local Chinese food suited him just fine, even though some of the cast and crew could not get used to it.
Park Sihoo has achieved so much yet is so modest about his achievements
He shared his dislike on following the crowd or trend when it came to corporate social responsibility (CSR). He felt that if one did philanthropy simply to keep up with the Joneses then, it is very hypocritical. There have been those who misunderstood him thinking that his charity work was to garner publicity. In the future, if he has the ability, he would continue to contribute to projects supporting good causes.
He was amazed that his Chinese fans built thirteen Sihoo Reading Rooms under his name in China’s poor, rural regions. He is grateful for their kind-hearted thoughtfulness and felt that what they did, they did to make him a better person.
Park Sihoo-ssi’s fans are driven by his charity to do charity projects themselves in his name
When it came to his fans, he saw differences among the Chinese, Japanese and Korean fans. All fans are enthusiastic, particularly the Chinese. If the Chinese and Japanese fans were put together, and if the Chinese fans went overboard to get closer to him, then the Japanese fans would learn and emulate. Like the positions on the map, the Koreans are the in-between in terms of enthusiasm. Park Sihoo-ssi likes his fans’ enthusiasm but cannot help being worried that their overly enthusiastic actions might result in unfortunate incidents.
Research showed that the Baidu parksihoobar is the the most representative of Park Sihoo in China with over 50 fan groups and official fans numbering over 8oo,ooo. Including other channels, Park Sihoo-ssi should have over 1.04 million Chinese fans! Park Sihoo-ssi’s reaction to this was modest, simply “Wow! Amazing (laughs). But compared to other stars, this is nothing.”
What are the future plans for Park Sihoo-ssi?
Park Sihoo-ssi shared his plans for the future. His fervent wish is for his new drama to deliver good ratings. There are plans for fan meetings and a song album. The album is in production and the songs are being recorded, with expected completion in December this year. Between filming his new drama and recording the album, he has been very busy. He expects that this album would be sold in China and Japan but not in Korea.
My impression of Park Sihoo-ssi? Extraordinarily special!
I got to know of Park Sihoo-ssi around May 2012, so about 3.5 years, but it does seem like a very long time ago with what have occurred during this period. What I know about him come mainly from what I have read, what I have seen on TV and what little I have seen of him in the flesh.
My impression of Park Sihoo-ssi?
So many superlatives to describe this man, a very long list indeed! In brief, an extraordinarily special man. One who has accomplished so much, yet is so modest about his achievements. A man who is unpretentious, lives by his creed and principles, works extremely hard to achieve his ambition, very courageous and absolutely persistent; one who has the “never say die!” attitude. And yet, he lives to enjoy life as he likes it to be and is generous to share his joy and happiness.
No one is perfect. He has his deficiencies too, but all in all, he is extraordinarily special, this man, this Park Sihoo-ssi!
Park Sihoo extraordinarily special!
出众的特别
几个星期前，我看到了施厚君K-Wave杂志的部分采访。之前看到也分享在那篇“A teaser on K-Wave“ 博文里的，是介绍他的新剧，剧情，他与其他演员和工作人员的关系，在百忙中他如何保持健康完美的身型，他所追求的幸福和他对变化的看法。
现在，我终于收到了期待已久的杂志！可以欣赏施厚君华丽的新照和阅读他坦诚的采访回答。
Park Sihoo-ssi has accomplished so much and yet is so modest
下面是编辑总结有关施厚君和他的采访其余的要点。
“SUPER ORDINARY 没有加装也没有修饰。 每个人经历但不是每个人都能战胜的就是人生的重力。 充实与信念和原则上, 梦想平凡人生的他也因此显得更特别。 这就是朴施厚。” – K-Wave magazine
因为采访原本是中文的，所以我在这就不再重复了。
Park Sihoo extraordinarily special
初次认识，也就是说知道施厚君这个演员的存在，是在2012年5月左右，短短的3年半的事，但感觉上已经认识他很长一段时间，因为经历了很多事情。我对他的了解主要是来自阅读，看电视，还有见过他本人几回。
我对施厚君的印象是如何呢？
太多的形容词来形容这位男生，一个很长的清单。简单地说，一个出众特殊的男士。一位拥有那么多的成就，却又是那么谦虚的男生。一位谦逊，有主义和原则，努力工作，以实现自己的梦想的人，很勇敢，很执着; 一位拥有“永不屈服放弃！”的态度。然而，又会享受人生，追求自己喜欢想要的，并大方分享他的快乐和幸福。
没有人是完美的。他也不列外，有好多不足之处，但总结，是一位特殊，出类拔萃的帅男人！我好喜欢！

멋져요. 항상 건강하시고 즐거운 마음으로 하루를 시작하는 마음까지 행복한 시간을 보내시길 바라겠습니다. “항상 건강하시고 당신을 응원하며 사랑합니다.”
cool. Always up to the heart to start the day with a healthy and joyful heart I will look or send a happy time. “Always healthy and cheer you and I love you.”
The whole interview of PSH in the K.Wave magazine is a laudatio of an “extraordinary special person”. It’s a commendation of “an ordinary person” who “dreams of an ordianry life”. And this person who deserves this praise is the person whom I admire and love so much. He is PSH! And I remember what someone said and that concurs to my feelings:” If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, Only then you would realize how special you are to me.” Yes, even the editor of K Wave sees PSH , like all of us, as a “super ordinary person , without adorments and enhancements.” PSH is an “extraordinarily special person”, and personality who can lead a start -up to soaring success and sustain that success for the long term. With hard work, without fuss, very natural ,with ” substance, belief and principples.” His driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things, overcoming all challennges, enjoying his life and trying to make other people enjoy their life and be happy. What he has, what he is, his personality, his way of thinking and working are unique. Not many people in the world are like him. Yes, he is “an extraordinarily special man”. Thanks Nance for the gist of the interview, that I like a lot.
Nance thank you is never enough for your yet again great insight most fantastic sharing with fans like myself who will never ever get to learn the details of the magazine. I am liking my recent interest of PSH more and more though til this minute no one in my own circle understands what happened to me (most would undoubtedly hold the view that I should not have channelled this much interest energy and time into PSH, no surprise this is the view). What I want to say is reading the interview and the gysts of the article, how can we not admire this superb ordinary human being who steadfastly holds strong to the fundamental principles as a good human being : “substancë” – as the saying “”substance over form”” more important than form, substance maynot readily appeal however it is substance that last. “”Belief and Principle”” I interprete that to mean ÏINTEGRITY – as I recently said to someone, Integrity ranks no.1, followed by Attitude, Capability comes in no. 3, when I am hiring staff who has leadership responsibility. Hard Working Attitude has no substitution, yet not many people willing to put in heart and soul and sacrifice to take The Road Less Travelled, instead many would try short cuts which not only giving themselves not as good results – sometimes disaster results, plus along the way jeorpardise others in their pursuits to their short term goals. PSH practiced hard and wide and equipped himself with varietal skills which is the no. 3 important criteria : Capability, yet he holds a humble attitude despite having these superb skillsets plus his natural gift of good looking. Still when it comes down to crunch time PSH falls back to his Belief and Principle with Integrity : how he survived the 10 years obscurity, how he handled the hitus years, how he comes back with ultimate sincerity of his love to his fans (his song To You says it all, his genuine sincere love for his fans all expressed in the lyrics and emotion of his singing) . Each piece of information revealed about PSH gives further credit to the person we think we know, and I truly wish PSH never sway from these fundamentals. I don’t know him much and perhaps will always stay such a distance with my own view of the him that I come to think I know of, I hope he himself is truly the person we think he is. Only he knows. I will never really know (but that’s not important).
It was 1991 when I said what I wish to achieve in life is rich experiences throughout my life journey, when a young traveller and I exchanged our feel about life when we lying on grass look up the sky and expressed our wish for our lives. So what I now learnt here that PSH ‘s view about focus in life I can truly share his meaning. My this current interest upon discovering PSH Nance and Stefania Lupu,learning from you, lerning his drama is a very nice experience.
