It is not very often that I get a writer’s block. Most times, an idea will hit me, the headline follows instinctively and then the words will flow. Now, this article got me stumped. The idea and headline came in a flash but somehow, my words stuttered, just like Lee Kangsuk did in Family Honour when his pregnant wife, Ha Dana, shared that she would like him to become a home daddy when their twins are born. So this blog took a bit of time. I hope it will nevertheless still pique your interest.
Charismatic Park Sihoo has always been fair game for the media hounds. They would sniff out every juicy bit of news about him. Surprisingly, their olfactory senses took a break at the time of Park Sihoo’s comeback and they did not catch scent of his trips to China including for wardrobe fitting.
At short notice, Sihoo-ssi’s fans heard wind of his imminent arrival to start filming for his comeback movie, Scent, and made a bee line from across China to welcome their returning Prince to Shanghai on that glorious day of 29 Dec 2013.
Park Sihoo’s comeback work is a coup which no other Korean actor had achieved then – being the leading man in a Chinese drama acting the Korean man and most of all, being himself. Scent’s Director, Jesse Tsang, aptly described her first meeting with Park Sihoo: she recognised In Jun, the main character in the movie, in Park Sihoo almost instantly. A gentle man, with a bit of melancholy and a sense of humour, it must have been that unique scent of this man that Director Tsang caught a whiff of 😉
Park Sihoo-ssi’s time filming Scent was most eventful. Ardent fans followed him all over Shanghai and Hangzhou. They literally camped out at his hotel, at the filming grounds, at restaurants and even gave chase of his car at one stage! They wanted to tell him face-to-face how much they love him, shower him with undivided attention and to take in every scent of the man!
When the movie was shown in China, his fans gave him their fullest support. They came, watched and cheered him on during his hectic six city tour of China to promote the movie. They applauded and stood in ovation for Scent. And they made him a top singing sensation on the Baidu music charts singing the theme song “The Sound of your Coming” in both Chinese and Korean.
Scent has finished its run in China for some time and it continues to leave a pleasant, lingering sensation. It is now heading across the shores to Japan, where every Park Sihoo-ssi Japanese fan awaits in excitement. Premiering on 16 May 2015 (this Saturday!), and hitting the cinema circuit from 6 June 2015, it is already leaving a trail of its scent.
Japanese fans, are you ready? To take in the Scent of a Man, not of any man, but the scent of Park Sihoo!
一个男人独特的香气
今天有点不寻常，脑袋一片空，没能动笔写文章。往往，只要有想法，很快的我就能定下标题，随着，稿很自然的会流通。现在，这篇文章让我为难了。想法和标题已经很快敲定，可是文章就是写不出来。我真的结巴了，就像家门的荣光里的李江石，当他怀孕的妻子何丹雅试探说希望他在家照顾他们将出生的双胞胎时，他就目瞪口呆了。所以，这篇博客花了好多时间。希望它仍然会激起妳的兴趣。
施厚君一直是媒体的猎物。他们经常像猎犬似的，用敏感的嗅觉闻出施厚君的消息。出意料的是，在施厚君复出时，他们的嗅觉似乎被堵住了，没有闻出他前往中国的消息，包括试装的时候。
相反的，施厚君的粉丝们在短时间内听到他即将到中国拍戏的风声，就从中国的四面八方，一窝蜂式的在2013年12月29日赶到上海来，迎接他们那回归的王子。
施厚君的复出作品是领先的，没有其他韩国演员当过中国电影的的男一号，而且还演韩国人，关键是他在演自己。香气导演曾翠珊说她第一眼看到施厚君时，就认出电影中的仁俊了。施厚君给她的感觉是个温柔的男生，带着几分忧郁和幽默感。啊，曾导演，您是否闻出我们施厚君独特香气，被他给吸引住了？；）
在施厚君拍摄香气的时后。热情的粉丝们跟着他走遍上海和杭州。他们驻扎在他的饭店，在拍摄场地，在餐厅，甚至追了他的车！他们想面对面对他说他们是多么喜欢他，关注他，想感受他发出的香气！ 
当香气在中国上映时，厚粉们给他全力的支持，为他欢呼，喝彩。他们努力推动他用国语和韩语唱的香气主题曲“妳到来的声音”。这曲子在百度音乐排行榜排名前三呢！
香气已经在中国闭幕了一段时间，可是它还留下一丝难忘的飘香。现在香气正飘扬过大海，前往日本。在哪，每一个施厚君的日本粉丝都在兴奋期待着。首映定在2015年5月16日（这周六），2015年6月6日正式上映日本。微微的香气已开始散发，香气即将四溢！
日本粉丝们，妳们准备好了吗？闻到一个男人的香气了吗？不是任何一个男人，而是施厚君独特的香气！
