I strongly believe that in our work or personal life, we have to be committed, work hard and put in a lot of love into everything we do. It’s all about values and attitude.
A couple of Korean stars were given the flak by various media recently. They were chastised for not taking professional pride in their work and for not being committed to their fans. They acted like prima donnas who thought they could get away with anything just because they were “stars”.
According to the reports, these stars don’t work hard and were totally uncommitted. They have no respect for their fans and take them for granted! One had the audacity to hold a fan meeting and not prepare for it. He must have thought fans could be taken for a ride, to pay good money for non-peformance! Another discarded his fans’ gifts because they were not branded goods and treated them like rubbish!
Park Sihoo-ssi knows better. He takes a lot of professional pride in whatever he does and has strong work ethics. He will constantly rehearse till he is satisfied and confident that he can deliver his best performance. We know of countless occasions when he would sacrifice sleep and work into the wee hours to get things to perfection. This is what makes the difference. He is a professional through and through, one who takes great pride and responsibility in delivering to his best ability and thrives on outperforming himself!
He loves his fans and consider them his No 1 treasure. He knows their loyalty is so very precious, hard earned and had to be treasured, loved and respected. He has never misbehaved in public nor in the presence of his fans and is always so polite and respectful!
He treasures gifts from his fans, no matter how big or small. I remember when he was in China filming his movie “Scent”, his minder revealed that he kept all of his fans’ gifts, spending several thousand dollars in excess baggage to lug them home! We saw that in Miyazaki too 🙂 From the glimpses into his lifestyle, it is not about the monetary value but knowing that every gift comes from the heart, which is infinitely more precious, in fact priceless!
Committment to work and fans are reflections of what a star values most! And I love that our man knows what are the important things in his life!
承诺
我坚信,无论是在工作或个人生活中,我们必须承诺,努力工作,和投入大量的爱心。 这一切反映个人的价值观和态度。
最近,几个韩国明星被一些媒体给责骂。报道说他们不专业,对工作没有责任感,对粉丝没有承诺和诚意。他们以为就因为是明星,所以可以逃避任何事情。
这些星星完全没有承诺,不努力工作,不尊重粉丝们,认为粉丝支持他们是理所当然的!一个胆敢不做任何准备就举行粉丝见面会。 他认为可以轻举的,不用任何的努力,就可以要粉丝掏钱! 另一个把粉丝的礼物当垃圾,因为不是什么名牌,所以觉得没有价值!
我们的施厚君就不会这样。不管做什么,他都有很大的专业自豪感和很强的工作道德。 他会不断的排练,直到满意和自信,可以达到最佳的表现。知道好多时候,哪怕不睡或要工作到凌晨,他都会熬到满意为止。这就是他的不一样。他专业也有承诺,为自己的成就争取完美而感到自豪!
他爱护他的粉丝,把他们当成第1号宝物。 他知道他们的忠诚是如此的珍贵,需要辛苦赚来,因此一定要珍惜,爱和尊重。从来没有见过他在公众场所有不端的行为,也不会在粉丝面前发脾气。他总是那么的彬彬有礼和恭恭敬敬的!
他的粉丝给他的礼物,不管大小,他都非常的珍惜。记得他在中国拍摄电影“香气”时,照顾他的吕先生透露过,他把所有粉丝给他的礼物都保留,花了几千美元的超重行李费,把它们带回家,就因为是粉丝给的珍贵的礼物!我们在日本宫崎也看到了:) 看他的生活方式,物质价格并非重要,而是知道每一件礼物都来自粉丝的内心,所以更有价值!
对工作的专业,和粉丝的承诺,反映了明星的重视!非常喜欢施厚君的这一点,因为他知道什么在他生活中是重要的!

Oh My Dear Nance!! Yet another simpatico!!!! It was yesterday morning I was relating in details to my friends what I witnessed with my own eyes at Miyazaki airport at departure. I said to my friends that 14 Sept 11.10am when we unexpectedly bumped into PSH and his crew checking in at airport, I said, to me, seeing him again at airport wasn’t the biggest memory that day. What impressed me most deeply is my own witnessing of how he has treasured every gift from his fans. Earlier we heard from sources fans’ gift will be repacked and sorted and PSH will take them back with him. Hearing the taking back with him sentence I was already very impressed coz we are talking about gifts given in Japan and still gifts will travel with him to his Seoul home. What I saw at airport there didn’t seem to be repacking at all, every loose carry bag was taken back with him in each gift’s original state!!! How I get to see is because the huge black bag they packed every fan’s gift into (so huge that it’s almost the equivalent of 2 huge suitcase combined) was (I guess) too heavy, hence they had to remove some contents and seperately packed some gifts into another box right there at the airport counter. As the gifts were taken out from that huge black bag, I saw with my eyes that each gift is still in their loose carry bag which when all add up can be weighty. I can only deduce the reason being PSH treasured each gift so dearly that none of his crew would dismantle and repacked so that PSH sees these gifts as how they were presented with careful thoughts and love, you know once you repacked messages might get mixed up etc. Otherwise why spent money to fly the weight of these loose carry bags? That chapter on 14/9/2016 at Miyazaki airport is God sent for my eyes. I cannot admire and respect anymore than what I already have for this man, my total thumbs up of a man with the right attitude and knows what’s important to be valued.
I deeply appreciate PSH mostly because of his good character traits. In filming the movie “Scent”, there were a lot of fans surrounding him. Some fans handed in simple gifts, e.g. a bottle of soft drinks. We could see his beautiful smile when received these small gifts. Please take a look at this video.

Thank you Priscilla for the link. My 1st time seeing this video.
Thanks Priscilla for sharing this videolink. I can’t remember to having seen it before, but I enjoyed watching nevertheless!
The advertisement is about 1 min before the video.
Yesterday I saw on my tv blatant copying of our PSH’s signature way of putting on his jacket by a K actor who earlier I saw the same actor copied PSH’s twirling pen at meeting room in QOR. The world is full of such grade of actors : copying, behaving like prima donna, don’t think they need to put in their side of the works needed, take fans for granted and not appreciating fans’ non branded gifts. And I seriously ask again why their fans can be so blind, why these type of actors will ever get any fan at all.
I should further add about the gifts handling at Miyazaki airport. Think about this, often is at airport counter we decide what is THAT IMPORTANT that we willing to pay for extra luggage weight. How many of us had experiences of chucking away things we conisder not that important right at airport checking in simply because that’s the crunch line, pay more money or throw them away. Even the act or repacking is a hassle. Yet PSH crew with PSH’s wish they actually repacked into more boxes (meaning more weight added from original black bag and perhaps already a couple of boxes with gifts which I can’t say for sure). Think about how easy it is that such fans’ gifts can easily be left behind, but no, PSH and his team persevered the longer time needed to sort out the problem, ie the hassle of repacking fans’ gifts that will retain gifts original packing. Tell me how many superstars would go to that extend to do that? As I said even ourselves when it comes to stuff, at airport, chances are we throw these physical things away, even when we can afford to pay for extra luggage, because at crunch time, it makes a person really make a decision, and that decision reveals how important those physical items meant to PSH and as we have chatted here and there, some gifts that we know of are simple basic e.g tea leaves, moon cakes, sweets, or a bottle of wine (yes, one bottle is from me kekeke)
No matter who abandon everything, external factors, treatment of others, is also a kind of respect for themselves, their own! Fans of the chase, compared to the other to get along with the model, may be given, more tolerant! But, no one, all have their own bottom line exists, is not easy, can go to touch! Chase, is the balance of the screen, once the balance is broken, resulting in the value, it will disappear! Star, the special nature of the occupation, more stringent requirements! Dedicated, self-discipline, is the most basic requirements! Carrying the body, the heart of fans, the strongest expectations, it will inevitably feel a little harsh, the pressure will be great! Choose a glorious career, pay, is the need to work harder! The passage of time, most people trust the test, such as water, sincerity as a mirror, place the position, people can do for a long time! The whole of life, is interdependent, words and deeds, hope is consistent, cause and effect, can be harmonious! Every man, chase, hope is wise and happy!
因為辛苦過來,所以更懂得珍惜
PSH is a professional and it shows in all series lui.Este and very talented, but from God, it is beautiful, both physically and psychologically how and gathered all these together make it one of the greatest actors Koreans and one of the most beloved actors. We know that he holds to his fans Nance of your posts, but it is also true that we love him, we give him our full support for his success. We are glad whenever we see good news of him for all his success. It’s a wonderful actor, wonderful and grand. There are no words to describe his greatness, his charm and his kindness. Thank you dear Nance for this topic very attractive.
PSH is not to be compared with the other “stars” who mostly take their fans for granted. PSH indeed is very much committed to his work, his fans and everything related to it. This is what makes him so very special! 🙂
Nance, what a wonderful subject “Being committed!”. And when the subject is linked to PSH, this becomes a praise for A MAN, and AN ACTOR , in capital letters. What does it mean for PSH being committed? It means a lot: being committed to himself, being committed to his acting, being committed to his fans, being committed to his family. And all them can affect his status, his career, his relationships , his future. Character, kindness, friendship, courage, determination, committment are qualities that define him and helped propel him to greatness. But first of all his true character reflected in how he treats those around him, those who admire him, even those who can do nothing for him. “If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know the man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man.”[F. Dostoyevsky] And this was what Chai Hua did. Watching his behaviour at Miyazaki airport, when overwhelmed by his fans’ gifts, received with great pleasure and gratitude, he didn’t get loose of them, on the contrary he preferred to pay extra charge for extra luggage, in respect for his fans. In respect for everything he gets from his fans, even the most simple gift like a glass of soft drink. So it’s natural to appreciate and flatter PSH, recognizing him as :A MAN and AN ACTOR! A MAN with great charm, with great strength, with great character. AN ACTOR with great accomplishents, with great level of resonsability, with grea committment to his acting and his fans.
“”……you will get better results if you watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man.”[F. Dostoyevsky]. PSH’s laughters are the most spontaneous and full degree lashing out with a big sudden burst so big so wild a laugh that often at the end of it, he quickly cover his mouth with his hands, as if just realised at the last second perhaps that burst out laugh might be a bit unsightly at some angle if anyone is snapping a photo, after all he wants every photo to look perfect. Sometimes he laugh so heartily that he would lightly hit the hand of the person who made him laugh. Absolute spontaneity!!
And contagious too.
Wonderful description of PSH’s laughter Chai Hua.And sometimes contagious too.
Being Committed is to me the one and only factor to success in everything we do. You can have the world going for you but if you are not committed enough, nothing great will yield. Yet different people measure commitment with varying degree. PSH’s commitment is so dire and serious that we all have eyes to see and read enough to soak in his degree of seriousness. I often think about that very 1st time he was given a line in his minor role in a drama, he said he rehearsed couple hundred times, yet come the shoot, another minor role near him stole his line !!! How would anyone feel in his shoes?? Nevertheless such set back never changed his attitude towards his degree of commitment. In our ordinary men daily ordinary life, I am weary of the casually uttering of “”oh come for a meal in our house or we must do lunch and catch up kind of talk.” To me, such things once said got to be executed. If there is very remote chance that such meeting up will take place, I am a person who would not utter such casual words. That’s an example of how even the simplest thing once said is a commitment. In my 2nd job after qualified as a professional accountant, ie in my 20s, my boss wanted to promote me to take over the whole finance department after 1st 6 months holding a smaller section within the finance department. I told my boss I wanted to concentrate on the project I started and would not want to take on larger responsibilities. To me the frontier looked as simple as that. When my boss announced to the department who all heard about my promotion, that I have declined . My boss added in words “”she wants to do a good job in what she is doing hence she doesn’t want this new bigger role.”” I listened and absorbed my boss words there and then as it didn’t occur to me the reason being I wanted to deliver execellent works in what I had started, coz at that time, my mind was so focus and committed that nothing else attracted me, and I just wanted to be able to physically see that project through. It was later on as I grew and developed and looked back at my track records that my boss ‘s words about “she wants to do a good job” was the whole reason. That was the era of every peer of mine became head of finance of the many commercial organisations in Kuala Lumpur respectively, yet, the simple minded me then, just wanted to finish the project of buidling up a budgetary process. That task can easily be delegated to another person if I had been far more ambitious and took up the head of the department role. Well, couple of years later I became the head of that department nonetheless which by then I felt so much more solid and satisfied having nailed the project. Such is my story of being committed. And I am sure many of you have similar stories to share.
Chai Hua , how many people like you will refuse a good promotion, just to do the best work in what you have started. Only very strong and determined people like you can understand the meaning of “being comitted.”And I’m also thinking of PSG’s first unhappy experience , when he was given some lines to interpret in a drama, for which he worked very much, and in reality someone else to interpret this minor role. But “being committed ” to his acting ,he passed this moment , continued to be dedicated to his dream, and years later the results to be tremendous.
Chai Hua Loke I don’t think you lacked ambition. You just didn’t want to rush at it. Your priority at that moment was to finish that project yourself you had started. Great you could make a different decision of what others expected you would do. You have really been a very grounded lady from the start of your professional life! 🙂
I think stubborn is more like it Wilma van Zwietering 🙂
Then we can shake hands 😉
