Park Sihoo-ssi’s Asian popularity accelerates through the deep love and loyalty of his fans that transcend national and cultural barriers.

Park Sihoo-ssi, an actor in his 40s who attracts Korean Wave fans with his fresh presence and skillful acting skills, is gaining popularity not only in Korea but also in Asia in countries such as Japan and China. The 2014 Chinese-Korean joint production movie “Scent” (to be broadcast on 11 September 2021on Asian Dramatic TV) is a work that fully captures his gentle expressions and an abundance of affection.

Park Sihoo-ssi made his drama debut in his late 20s with “Sassy Girl Chunhyang” (2005). He had a breakthrough with ” Family Honor” (2008) which recorded high ratings. Since then, he has starred in popular dramas such as “Prosecutor Princess ” (2010) and “The Princess’ Man” (2011). In his first movie, “Confession of Murder” (2012), he received high praise for his role as a cold blooded serial killer.

He ventured into China with “Scent”, a movie with a wide general release. This was unusual for a Korean Wave star in China and  the work attracted a lot of attention. He played the role of Injun, a Korean designer who followed his girlfriend to Shanghai, China and accidentally injured the leg of a Chinese woman, Julie (played by Chen Lan).

As compensation for her injury, Injun temporarily stayed at Julie’s house to support her housework and her daily life. He was moved by this strong-willed woman. It was difficult co-living together as they could not understand each other due to language barrier. But Injun was always kind and his dedication made life comfortable.

Julie’s demands included making coffee in the morning, cleaning the apartment during the day, cooking dinner in the evening and so on. Injun carried out each of her commands with all his heart without being concerned over Julie’s sharp attitude.

He cooked the meals with care and kept the kitchen spick and span.  He picked up after Julie without showing displeasure, even if she deliberately threw trash everywhere. The only communication between them was through rudimentary English conversations and reading each other’s facial expressions. In such an environment, Injun’s generosity and affection stood out. Injun’s personality, which is evident through simple conversations, was similar to that of Park Sihoo-ssi’s own charm.

Julie, who lived with deep loneliness, spoke her mind in Mandarin without thinking. And Injun who didn’t know what she said, just commented softly, “You look great when you smile.” Injun was exactly the image of a boyfriend that women around the world wanted. Even though his character was not of high social standing, his dedication to Julie, with his gentle smile and beautiful manners were precious like those of “Prince Charming”.

After that, in “My Golden Life” (2017), he played to perfection a charming chaebol. And last year, the drama “Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny (“Wind, Cloud and Rain”) (September), was his first historical drama after nine years, and showed off his new appeal. The first episode of this drama will be broadcast on Asia Dramatic TV on 4 September 2021.

In an interview about Choi Cheonjung, the best strategist in Joseon, who had the ability to read people’s minds, he said, “Cheonjung is relaxed, and I think that kind of appearance is similar (Nance: maybe to Injun?)” The part about listening intensely to the stories of others is similar,” said Park Sihoo, as he self-reflected. “That is something in common with Injun, who was generous and dedicated.”

Park Sihoo is an actor known for being able to “express everything with one look.” Throughout his career and the series of work he has accumulated so far, you will be reminded of the charm of his personality.
