Who am I and what right do I have to criticise a star like Park Sihoo-ssi? The short answer? Nobody and no right. I am just a woman with an opinion on her likes and dislikes. In general people think that fans aspire to be like their stars and other side of the coin is that stars are the extension of fans and how they see themselves. So, if who I like is how I see myself, then obviously, I would like him or her to be like me – how I view things, do things and behave. So here, I talk about me and how I perceive things.
I first saw a photo spread of Park Sihoo-ssi in an issue of Enishi a while back. The photos were gorgeous and showed his body beautiful. Great looking, well sculpted six-packs with a jacket loosely draped and nice tailored trousers.
The only thing that marred the shoot was of him smoking a cigar. Then in Enishi 4, Volume 1, another beautiful editorial spread, actually, my favorite edition of Enishi to-date. And again it was less than perfect, for the same reason.
I have been wanting to find a way to break this to Park Sihoo-ssi, but somehow did not know how to say it.
Well, recently, he did it himself. He was wearing this Diesel T-AIKO’S Bad Habits tee with the slogan “Bad habits need to die”. He was doing his dance practice in preparation for his Park Sihoo “Live” in Tokyo concert. I hope that he has the conviction and believes in what he wears!
I like many things about Park Sihoo-ssi and one of them is his clean living. He doesn’t drink, nor does he smoke cigarette or pot. I don’t know about cigars since a lot of people consider it cool and a “gentleman’s habit”. But sorry, in my eyes, cigars are neither! They smell nasty!
In earlier interviews, he said that alcohol made his face turn red, he would become all quiet and feel really sleepy, even if it were just a touch of alcohol. On rare occasions when he had to drink due to work, he had been spotted, including on camera, to sleep off the alcohol. So he hardly drinks, from what I have read and heard.
He also does not have a smoking habit but has a sweet tooth. He chomps on a lollipop every now and then and has sometimes been mistaken to be smoking a cigarette, but no!
And of course, no drugs, which seems to be the “in” thing with the “in” crowd in the K-entertainment world! No siree, no drugs whatsoever, whether of the social or otherwise kind!
So, with hardly any bad habits, I am therefore stumped when I saw the Enishi photo spreads of him smoking a cigar…bare bodied in formal jacket and trousers. Was he supposed to look cool, smoking?
Sorry, this is one of those bad habits that just doesn’t fly with me. Why would a photographer do a photo spread of a clean living, clean image person smoking? That is a nasty bad habit to promote and bad habits need to die!
Sorry, Park Sihoo-ssi, I like almost everything about you, except for that bad habit depicted in your photo spread! So this bad habit needs to die!
坏习惯必须改!
我是什么人,凭什么去批评像施厚君这样的明星?简短的回答?什么都不是,也没有任何的权利。只是有自己的意见的女人。一般人认为粉丝渴望成为像他们的明星一样的人,也有相反的看法,就是明星是粉丝的象征,是他们如何看待自己。所以,如果喜欢的明星是我怎么看自己,那么很明显,我希望他或她所做的事情和行为就跟我喜欢的,做法和行为是一致的。所以这里所说的,是我如何看待事情,看待自己。
一会前,看到施厚君的一张照片在缘Enishi杂志里头。照片非常漂亮华丽,显示了他美丽的身体,非常好看,耀眼的六块肌, 轻松的披上一件外套和量身定做的裤子。唯一破坏照片形象就是他抽着雪茄。之后在缘Enishi 第4集,第1季,出版以来是我最喜欢的一版,出于同样的原因,把美照给糟蹋了。
一直想找个机会和方法去对施厚君说,但不知道怎么去说。
最近,他可是自己说了。为他的朴施厚在东京举办的演唱会练舞时,他穿着一件柴油Diesel 品牌T-AIKO系列的坏习惯T恤,上面的口号是“坏习惯必须死(改)”。希望他的信念和他穿的是相符!
我喜欢施厚君的很多地方,其中之一就是他清洁的生活。他不喝酒,也不抽烟,包括香烟或毒品。我不知道雪茄,因为有些人认为这是很酷的,是“绅士的习惯。” 不过遗憾的是,在我眼里,雪茄两样都不是!讨厌那味道!
在以前的采访,他说接触酒精,就算少许,脸部会变红,人会变特别安静,感觉很困。当他因工作原因不得不喝酒,总会趴下睡掉酒精,有几次看过他酒后睡觉的视频。所以我所知道的是他不常饮酒。
他也没有吸烟的习惯,但喜欢吃甜食,偶尔喜欢吃棒棒糖,倒置被误为在抽烟。但其实并非!
当然,他不吸毒,一种似乎在韩国娱乐界被称为“时尚”的习惯!施厚君没有吸毒,不论社交或其他形式的毒品!
所以,几乎没有任何不良嗜好,因此我就觉得奇怪,为什么要拍抽着雪茄的照片呢?难道摄影师认为吸烟会显得更酷?
对不起,这种坏习惯,我不买账。为什么摄影师要一位干净生活,有着整洁形象的人拍吸烟的照片呢?对我,这是个讨厌的坏习惯, 没必要开始或培育, 坏习惯必须得死(改)!
对不起,施厚君,我喜欢你好多地方,除了照片里传达的坏习惯!因此这坏习惯必须得死(改)!

My stomach turns round when I see PSH with cigars Nance. But I was thinking. Well not really thinking, it merely popped up. Could it be our man is preparing for a gangster role? Those maffia guys are always presented like that and the bigger the cigars the better. And from Cuba, of course, those are the best! 😎
今日の話、面白かったです!一人一人が、自分の見方、各人各説!雑誌、スター、大衆の関心、多くの顔、多くの風格の展開、多くの風格の表現!個人的な感じは良い、と感じている、感覚は、あか抜け、味、男性は味!好きなのはかっこいい男の子の内在、酒は飲みません、タバコは吸いません、利口な赤ちゃん!健康な考え、良い生活習慣と、最も重要な哈!ストレス、競争、下のリズム、それぞれに、もっと、自分に、自分を愛して!誰でも、体の習慣、よくない、すべて必ずと変えて変えて下さい!自分のために自分のために、努力している!
Haha I have exact disapproval of his smoking photos.
Park Si Hoo is a star for a multitude types of fans. Young, less young, people with different occupations and habits, bad habits. Always being a perfectionist, Park Si Hoo wants to create a picture of smoker man, obviously perfect.
Throughout his career may gather some photos in a small album in which he flirts with cigarette or cigar. But it seems that is not accustomed with this vice; and therefore such an image must be improved, although it is a “bad habit that must die”. But only for the challenge that launches: to create a new human typology.
I remember a MV from a photo shot, when he coughed from the smoke inhaled.
Yes Nance:”Bad habits need to die>” As :” Bad habits are like infections. Inflamamation starts from mouth and weakens the body’s ability'[ K. Bansal] And I’d like to believe that PSH, a very rational person, has no bad habits, like smoking. Because smoking is the most ridiculous human behaviour and the only one that is entirely against nature. His picture in Enishi , with a cigar in his hand, I truely disapprove it, although he looks cool. He would have looked more gorgeous without that cigar. And I don’t know why he accepted this image, when he is a non smoker. Why should he be a promoter of a bad habit, that spiritually can make a person die, or live a life out of balance? Knowledge, thinking and rational actions are PSH’s properties, so he is free to agree or disagree, to persue his own independent mind, according to his own rational judgement, Freedom being the fundamental requirement of man’s mind. Then , why accepted this photo to damage his perfect image? That’s the question!
