Buyeo’s pride

Buyeo’s pride and joy – Park Sihoo-ssi

As all of you must know, our favorite actor Park Sihoo hails from Buyeo, a county in South Chungcheong Province in South Korea. He is Buyeo’s pride, a homegrown talent that is well known throughout the world and spreading good words for his hometown.

Last month from 14 February 2020, he and the cast and crew of his new drama “Wind, Cloud and Rain 바람과 구름과 비” spent five days filming in Buyeo. Their filming set included Seodong-yo in Chunghwa-myeon, the Sung Heung Sanseong Love Tree in Imcheon-myeon and Gungnamji in Buyeo-gun.

Publicity Ambassador for his hometown

As it was the first time our Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi was filming a drama in his hometown, he was even more passionate about his work and took pride in showing off his hometown’s famous places, taking his role of Buyeo’s ambassador seriously.

As can be expected, when Buyeo’s beloved son next headed home for another round of filming recently, he received special attention! 

During his second filming on 14 March 2020, despite the bad weather, Buyeo County Governor  Park Jeonghyun 박정현 visited the filming site. He extended a warm welcome and gave encouragement to the 120 cast and crew.

Governor Park said, “On behalf of the people of Buyeo, we welcome and thank the TV Chosun drama production team and actors for coming to Buyeo. We hope Park Sihoo and Director Yun Sangho 윤상호 will film more dramas here. ”

Governor Park also engaged in conversations with Director Yun Sangho 윤상호 and Park Sihoo. Director Yun Sangho 윤상호 shared, “I remember coming to the set of Seodong-yo for the first time in 2007 when I filmed “태왕사신기 Legend of the First King’s Four Gods”. It is rare to see such well-managed and preserved drama sets. If only dressing rooms are supplemented and the restrooms are remodeled, then it will be reborn as a great shooting site.”

Governor Park responded, “We will resolve the issues as soon as possible to provide an optimal filming location.”

A good chat between Governor Park and Producer Yun

Jeong Donghyun정동현, Head of the Kyuam Agricultural Cooperative Federation, also showed his generous hospitality by serving the drama team with drinks and snacks including Buyeo’s premium “Good Tree” Strawberries and the famous Sedo cherry tomatoes, recognized as the nation’s best produce and for their excellent quality.

During a break in his filming schedule, Park Sihoo-ssi stayed at his ancestral home in Gagok-ri, Eunsan-myeon, Buyeo. He spent quality time with his father, Park Yonghoon 박용훈 and basked in the warm embrace of his hometown.

Will love blossom under the Sung Heung Sanseong Love Tree?

“Wind, Cloud and Rain 바람과 구름과 비” will premiere on TV Chosun on 9 May 2020. The symbolism of the first work of Park Sihoo-ssi, Buyeo’s pride, shot against the backdrop of his hometown is increasing the anticipation among Park Sihoo-ssi’s fans around the world.

扶余的骄傲

众所周知，我们最喜欢的演员施厚君来自韩国忠清南道的扶余郡。他是扶余的骄傲，是在世界各地广为人知的本土人才，也帮家乡到处做传播。

从上个月2020年2月14日开始，他和他的新电视剧“风，云和雨바람과 구름과 비“的演员和工作人员在扶余拍摄了五天。他们的拍摄场景包括忠化面的＂童薯谣＂摄影棚，临川面的成兴山城爱树和扶余郡的宫南池。

首次在家乡拍摄电视剧的偶吧Oppa 施厚君对工作更加热情，并自豪的展现家乡的著名景点，认真的担扶余宣传大使的角色。

可以预见，当扶余心爱的儿子再次回家乡拍摄时，他得到了特别的关注和待遇！

尽管天气恶劣，在2020年3月14日在扶余进行第二次拍摄时，扶余郡守朴正炫（音）박정현 访问了拍摄现场。他向120多名演员和工作人员表示热烈的欢迎和表示鼓励。他说：“我代表扶余人民，对朝鲜电视TV Chosun电视剧制作团队和演员们的光临表示感谢。希望朴施厚和尹尚浩（音）윤상호导演在扶余拍摄更多的电视剧。“

他也与尹尚浩（音）윤상호导演和施厚君进行了对话。尹尚浩（音）윤상호导演分享道：“我记得在2007年拍摄”太王四神记“时，第一次来到＂童薯谣＂的场地。很少见到如此保存妥善的电视剧拍摄场地。如果补充更衣室和改建洗手间，将会重生为绝佳的拍摄场地。”

对此，扶余郡守回答：“我们将尽快完善所在的问题，提供最佳拍摄场地。”

奎岩农协组合长郑东贤(音)정동현还为拍摄团队准备了饮料和小吃，如扶余郡代表性农产品—全国最高生产量和品质得到认可的”细铃Sedo”圣女果和”Good Tree” 名品草莓，来表示他的盛情款待。

Having the home ground advantage

在扶余拍摄期间修息时，施厚君还住在故乡恩山面佳谷里的家中，与父亲朴龙勋박용훈在故乡的温暖中共度了幸福的时光。

“风，云和雨바람과 구름과 비“将于2020年5月9日在朝鲜电视TV Chosun首播。施厚君，扶余之子，扶余的骄傲的第一部在家乡扶余为背景拍摄的作品，带着象征意义，将给海外粉丝带来更大的期待。

*虽然新闻报道提到了李根武이건우 导演的话，我相信是尹尚浩（音）윤상호导演
