Please note that this will be a very long article. 请注意,这将是长篇。
I have earlier shared with you a long overview and rundown of Park Sihoo “Live” in Tokyo concert in my article “He’s my superstar!” As I am not conversant in Japanese or Korean, there were many missing segments from my article, particularly the conversations between Park Sihoo-ssi and the emcee.
With some help and reading up, I can now close the gaps on the conversations during the concert. I have presented these in more topical rather than sequential order and combined the afternoon and evening sessions so that there is more context on each topic. I hope this gives you a glimpse of the conversations during the concert and come to know more of Park Sihoo-ssi.
His songs at the beginning of the concert, “Seasons in the Sun” and “Shampoo” set the pace – upbeat music and dance, that had Park Sihoo-ssi a little breathless and perspiring buckets. Then the tempo slowed a little with “Again, I will love you today” from the Princess Man OST.
Following these, the emcee intervened asking how he felt after singing three songs at one go. Park Sihoo-ssi did not reply directly but shared that he was too excited the night before to sleep. It had been a while since he had been on stage in Japan. He hoped that the day would turn out good and that everyone would have a good time and happy memories. He had been practicing hard for his concert, especially for those lively and active dances and had been exercising to build up his stamina.
When asked when he arrived in Japan, he said the day before and was quickly corrected by his fans – two days ago 🙂 See, his fans knew better! Since his arrival, he had not had time to exercise or go running even though he would love to. He had been in rehearsals all of the day before.
Park Sihoo “Live” in Tokyo was a live band concert, something he had not tried before, so he was rather worried. He also did not have much time to practice after completing the filming of his drama. The rehearsal turned out well and he was more confident. The emcee then threw the keyboard player off-guard asking him his impression of Park Sihoo-ssi. The chap hesitated a little and blurted out that he had very thin legs! Hahaha! The emcee then commented that no rest after finishing his drama to prepare for his concert would certainly cause him to lose weight…fantastic!
After singing the Japanese version of his 2015 Orion chart topper, “Kimiwo”, Park Sihoo-ssi came back on after a costume change. He wore a black suit with embroidery like water running down from shoulders to arms. These looked like silver thread embroidery, peppered with beads. The emcee complimented him on his good looks and how well he carried himself and he returned the compliments of her looking very beautiful.
The conversation turned to his clothes. That day would be like a feast of outfits, he declared. When asked by the emcee about the concept, he laughingly said “sparkling and glowing concept”. His stylist had done a fantastic job and put in a lot of hard work – 14 hours! to painstakingly sew those beads on. The man was gracious and asked the audience to give his stylist credit by applauding her.
The black pants he wore was very high fashion, very tight fitting. The emcee thought it had a snake skin like texture and he confirmed it. The emcee asked if he had lost any weight and if he had been sick during the preparation for the concert. He had lost 3 kg but had proper nutrition to keep himself healthy. Because the concert outfits were tight fitting, he had to control his body weight. He wanted to look good when he appeared in front of his audience. His daily diet was bananas, sweet potatoes and water, no carbonated beverages.
He normally preferred simple, comfortable casual tees and jeans. He also likes to wear pajamas at home as they were very comfortable. He asked about the Japanese yukata robe and where he should get them. Of course, his fans were more than happy to give him advice 🙂
The moderator was impressed by his explosive, palpitating dances and he responded that his dance instructor wanted them to be different from before. Although there was not much time for dance practice, his role as a former secret agent in his drama required extensive training due to the many action scenes. Under the guidance of the action director, he gained strength, built up his energy and stamina and saw changes to his physique. He wanted his fans to see him as the gorgeous looking, manly man.
One of the conversations was on his movie “After love”. He thought of it as an orthodox love story. It was a deviation from many of the romantic dramas and movies he had acted in. The movie centred on memories, of first love, past love, lost love and sadness. It was not about regrets which he thought was meaningless but about sweet, tender recollections of beautiful moments. He spoke some Chinese in the movie. The filming was done in Korea Jeju Island and China, where he spent about 1 – 2 months. The photography captured a lot of China and Jeju’s scenic beauty. He enjoyed watching the movie and hoped his fans would too. He also thanked his fans in China for taking good care of him during his filming there.
He went to Rome in Italy in autumn last year for a fashion shoot. After the shoot, together with his brother and a friend, he took a 3-week journey across Italy. He found Italy very beautiful and took videos with his selfie camera as he wanted to show his fans his usual routine, even while on holiday. He had shot a lot of interesting footages, but unfortunately was cut out in the video editing process. The emcee liked Park Sihoo-ssi in casual clothes, especially in a tank top! He had trained up his biceps and triceps through regular exercise. Even when travelling, he would continue his exercise. He enjoyed swimming and running. While walking on a beach in Italy, he actually picked up an expensive pair of sunglasses!
His impression of Italy? Pasta! Pizza! He likes pasta but after eating this every day for about one month, now he is not so enthusiastic about it. He put on weight while he was in Italy.
When the emcee asked what he ate in Japan the day before, he said Shabu Shabu and it was delicious. He and his staff had worked hard all day rehearsing and they went to this all-you-can-eat restaurant on empty stomaches. He was worried what the restaurant manager thought about them. The photos of the evening dinner was shared with his fans on his Instagram, Weibo and WeChat that same evening.
After his song “Will you marry me?”, the emcee grilled him on the type of woman he liked – pretty and cute or sexy and beautiful. He deliberated for a long while and replied that he likes a woman who could cook delicious meals. The emcee immediately raised her hand and said she could cook! 🙂 Hahaha! During the evening session, the emcee also asked if he had any girlfriend. Our man immediately pointed to the audience and mischievously said that they are all my girlfriends! Now, this man sure know how to please his fans!
On what’s next, he said he wanted to take a short break as he had not rested after his drama. He wanted to go to an onsen hot spring in Japan. And where would he go? It was a secret! In Korea, he could go to one without reservation and they would accommodate him as long as there was vacancy. However, it was different in Japan. He had to reserve in advance or will be turned away, even if the inn had a room. He spoke from experience, so he made the booking the day before. He now knew a new Japanese term – how to say “reserve in advance”. He promised to send a photo from the hot spring! And he did!
Nearing the end of the concert, he introduced his band members one-by-one. He asked his audience if they had fun that day and got tremendous applause in return. Because of the short preparation time, there might be some unsatisfactory parts in the concert and he apologized for that. He will work hard and make every effort to improve.
During his preparation, he heard about the devastating and heart wrenching news of the earthquake in Kumamoto. He felt very sad and extended his sympathies and encouragement to fight on to any one from Kumamoto in the audience. He then thanked the audience and hoped that they had fun just as he had fun that day. He ended the concert on a high note with his signature song “Shower” from his drama “Cheongdamdong Alice”.
And of course, we wouldn’t let him go so lightly. We had to have encore. And we did with the surprise performance of “Mister” and the very enjoyable and light-hearted Chibi Maruko-chan song. Park Sihoo-ssi then bade his good byes to his audience by thanking them in Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
I have enjoyed those conversations during his concert as they gave me deeper insights to this man.
Oh! I must share, I learnt a new Japanese word as well! Park Sihoo-ssi kept on saying something like “Ice Stereo” during his performance. I couldn’t figure out what it meant. Now I know! It means “I love you! 愛してるよ!”
Yeah! We love you too, 愛してるよ, Park Sihoo-ssi! Enjoy your break and we hope to see you real soon!
对话
上周看完了施厚君的演唱会,我已在我的文章 他是我的超级巨星!跟大家分享了节目的大概。可是因为不精通日语和韩语,文章里泄漏了好多内容,特别是施厚君和主持人之间的对话。
在几位姐妹的协助还有自己阅读下,我现在可以把在演唱会里漏掉的对话给填上。我不是按顺序来写的,而是以主题,也把下午和晚上的内容结合,使各主题更丰富。希望这可以让妳们了解更多关于演唱会和施厚君。
一开头,他的歌曲“在阳光的季节Seasons in the Sun”和“洗发水Shampoo”定下演唱会的速度和感觉 – 欢快的音乐和舞蹈。这种节奏使施厚君有点喘不过气来和一直流汗。然后,唱公主的男人OST里的“今天我再爱你一次 Again, I Love You Today”,节奏才放慢了点。
这时主持人问他一气演唱了三首歌曲后的感受。施厚君没有直接答复,但说因为过于激动, 前天晚上睡不着觉。他已经有一段时间没有在日本舞台上亮相了。希望那天节目进行得顺利,大家都开心,有着美好的回忆。他一直在为他的演唱会苦练,特别是那些需要好多劲动作的舞蹈,更需要建立自己的耐力。
主持人问他几时抵达日本时,他说前一天。他的粉丝即刻纠正 – 两天前 🙂 你看,粉丝知道的比他还要清楚!抵达后,时间紧迫,一直在排练,完全没有时间锻炼身体和跑步。
朴施厚在东京演唱会是以现场乐队来伴奏,这是他以前没有尝试过的,所以有点担心。完成拍摄他的电视剧后,他没有太多的时间进行练习。前一天的彩排,效果竟然很好,他就更自信了。主持人突然问键盘手对施厚君的印象。猝不及防的被问,他犹豫了一下,脱口而出,说他有很细的腿!哈哈哈!主持人则评论说,完成他的电视剧后,没有休息就为他的演唱会做准备,肯定的会瘦吧,是减肥的好方法!太棒了!
唱完了他在2015年猎户座Orion音乐排行榜的一首歌,日语的“Kimiwo”后,施厚君就去更装。回来穿着黑西装搭配刺绣从肩至臂如流水纹。看起来像银线绣,珠片穿插。主持人称赞他人帅气,穿着好看,他也回赞主持人漂亮。
他宣称那天的演唱会就像服装盛宴。主持人问是什么个概念,他笑着回答“闪闪发亮的概念”。造型师做得非常出色,并投入了很多苦劳 – 14小时!煞费苦心地缝上一颗颗的珠子。我们的男人好体贴,请观众给造型师的功劳鼓掌。
他穿的黑色裤子是高挡时装,很紧身。主持人看像是蛇皮般的质感,他证实了。主持人问他为演唱会准备期间是否要减肥,生病了吗?他分享瘦了3公斤,但吃适当的营养食物以保持自己的健康。因为演唱会的服装是紧身的,必须控制自己的体重,想在观众面前看起来帅气。他的日常饮食是香蕉,红薯和水,没有喝任何碳酸饮料。
他平常喜欢穿简单,舒适随意的T恤和牛仔裤。在家里喜欢穿睡衣,觉得很舒服。他询问了日本的浴衣,在那里可以买到质量好的。厚粉们都很乐意给他建议 🙂
主持人对他那劲舞印象深刻。他回答说舞蹈教练希望舞蹈与以前的有不同。虽然没有太多时间练习舞蹈,但在拍电视剧的前秘密特工的角色时,因为有许多动作片段,他需要大量的训练。在动作导演的指导下,他建立了体力和精力,体质有了改变。他希望粉丝看到他的外表更英俊,更含男人味。
他认为电影“思念爱”是一部正统的爱情故事, 跟许多他曾经演过的浪漫电视剧和电影有偏差。电影集中于回忆,初恋,失去的爱和悲伤。对酸甜的遗憾,他认为是毫无意义的,应该怀念美好的瞬间。他在电影有些中文对话。拍摄是在韩国济州岛和中国。他在中国呆了1- 2个月。摄影捕捉到很多中国和济州岛的美景。他喜欢看那电影,也希望粉丝会喜欢。他还感谢中粉在中国拍摄时的照顾。
去年秋季去了意大利罗马为时尚杂志做拍摄。过后和弟弟和好友一起,旅游整个意大利3个星期。他认为意大利很美丽,就拍下好多视频,希望跟粉丝们分享他常规的习惯爱好,甚至在度假。他拍摄了不少有趣的片段,但遗憾的是在视频编辑过程中被删了。主持人喜欢施厚君穿休闲装,尤其是罐顶tank top!他定期运动训练二头肌和三头肌。即使旅行也将继续锻炼。他喜欢游泳和跑步。当走在意大利海滩时,居然捡起一双昂贵的太阳镜!
他对意大利的印象?面食!比萨!他喜欢面食,但一个月每天吃,现在有点倪了,也在意大利长胖了。
当主持人问他前天在日本吃什么,他答涮涮锅,非常好吃。他和工作人员辛苦排练一整天,空着肚子去一家自主餐餐馆吃晚餐。他担心餐厅经理对他们的印象。当晚的晚餐照片他在Instagram,微博和微信分享了。
唱了歌曲“你愿意嫁给我吗?”,主持人问他喜欢那类型的女孩 – 漂亮可爱或性感美丽的。他思考了半晌,回答说他喜欢会烹饪,能够作出美味菜肴的女孩。主持人立即举手,说她会做饭! 🙂 哈哈哈!晚上那场,主持人也问他是否有女朋友。我们的男人马上指着观众,顽皮地说,她们都是我的女朋友!这人真会逗他粉丝的欢心啊!
问他接下来有什么计划,他说想短暂的休息,因为拍完电视剧后还未休息。想去日本的温泉。他会去哪?这是一个秘密!在韩国,不需要预约,只要有空房,温泉会迁就。但在日本不同。没有提前预订,就算温泉有房间,也会被拒之门外。他是从经验讲,所以前天已经先前预约了。他现在学了一句日本词 – 如何说“提前预订”。他答应从温泉发照给大家分享!他做到了!
接近演唱会尾声时,他一一介绍了乐队成员。也问观众那天过得快乐吗?得到的反应是巨大的掌声。由于准备时间短,有可能在演唱有些不尽如人意的地方,他向大家道歉。他会努力工作,竭尽全力改善。
在准备演唱会时,他听到在熊本县地震的坏消息, 感到非常难过,表达了他的同情和鼓励。然后,他感谢观众,希望大家喜欢节目。结束时,唱了他电视剧“清潭洞爱丽丝”的歌曲“雷阵雨”。
当然,我们不会让他轻易的走了。一直喊着“再来一次encore”。他给了我们而外的惊喜,表演了“先生Mister”,和唱出愉快和轻松的樱桃小丸子歌曲。随后施厚君用韩语,日语和普通话感谢了大家,并向大家告别。
我非常喜欢他演唱会中的对话,因为让我更深的了解这位男士。
哦! 我必须分享,我也学了句日语单词!施厚君在演出时,一直说听起来像“ice stereo”的一句。我弄不清楚是什么意思。现在知道了!意思是“我爱妳!愛してるよ!”
是啊!我们也爱你,愛してるよ, 施厚君!好好的休息吧,希望不久再见到你,也能观看你下部杰作!

Now after reading your most interesting detail account (many thanks again Nance, I can never thank you enough), I wonder the thing I read in the bad google translate somewhere PSH said something about “thin leg collection”” when emcee and him were talking about that snake texture tight fitting pants…..I kept wondering whether those “”thin leg collection”” words that PSH added after he explained there’s snake skin texture……what he meant, whether it was his self depreciating humour or whether there is any other meaning he has to emphasize “”thin leg collection””…now that I understand the keyboard player had responded his impression of PSH as “thin legs””, am I correct to link PSH’s “”thin leg collection”” as a humour reply to the keyboard player’s comment.. This “thin leg collection” thing has been my one big puzzle of the day from the various sources that carry bad translation. Before I read your report, Nance, I had no idea the keyboard player was caught unprepared and had to give his opinion about PSH and he was the one who started the “thin legs”” thing, hahaha, that is really funny!
Don’t know about the “thin leg collection”…but then, my Japanese and Korean are non existent so I can only rely on others to help recollect what they hear and what I have read and google translated too 🙂
That’s alright Nance, I am happy to carry my own conclusion haha. What you gathered made every sense to me now. I kept scratching my head why on earth he had to say thin leg collection…haha
非常喜欢这篇文章,谢谢分享!💖💖💖💐💐💐
As I was reflecting the early moments PSH caught my attention, we all said it was his smile. I had looked deeper and asked myself was it really his smile that caught my 1st attention. No. It was last 2 weeks I did some memory searching I now vividly recalled after watching mindlessly the many episodes of QOR, the very 1st thing that attracted me was his pair of long legs, when he and Hwang ran about in the airport trying to find his birth mother. It was the scene when it was shot aerial view and he dashed around the airport grounds, skipped a little bit (his usual style) and the 2 big feet padding on the floor. THAT’S the very 1st time I paid attention to this man and began looking at him instead of just follow everything presented on the screen just like how I had always watched K drama where I never even willing to learn one name (name of roles and name of actors). So there you go, the keyboard player has similar 1st impression haha.
Chai Hua – it’s the charming smile, the long slim legs and everything else besides. It’s his whole persona! His Peruvian fans exclaimed this morning why this man looks so good in everything every time…..
Dear Nance, many thanks for giving us a detailed report of the Concert. I always love reading the report of his interview. He always expresses with sincerity and gratefulness.
Nance, As is usual, you have given us a detailed and very interesting account on PSH’s concert interview. Such devotion and dedication in your love and support for PSH, you have my utmost respect and admiration too. The interview reveals PSH as a genuinely charming person – doesn’t brag, relational, always thinking of doing his best for his fans. No wonder so many fall for his charm and stay charmed over the years
I see if I can do a link later. Out for lunch appomtment with client
Have a fruitful lunch meeting.
my love :* :* :* :* <3 <3 <3 <3
“Conversation always runs smoothly when lubricated.”[Marquis de Sale]. And the conversation at PSH’s live concert ran smoothly being “lubricated” by a very fluent, and inteligent conversational partner, PSH. Nance, your article “Conversations” , although you’ve tried to warn us about its length, for me was not long, on the contrary, exceptionally interesting, detailed and full of information about PSH, that I’ve read with utmost pleasure. And I thank you very much. In fact you’ve guessed my desire to know the content of his interview at his concert. And luckily you’ve satisfied my ardent wish, writing your article. The conversation between PSH and the emcee, the lady that have been complimented by PSH as being beautiful, and I think she must have been very happy, so , the conversation was very smooth, very nice, and flowing , both of them having their own ways of expressing good questions and giving excellent answers. And I’ve completed my knowledge about many things about PSH. Throughout his interview PSH has tried to know if his concert enjoyed his audience, expressing his concern for the short time he had for rehearsals. And for this he must be praised too. Once again PSH has proved himself to be a magnificent interlocutor, not at all boring, answering to the questions with interest, pleasure and fascinating his audience. I must say that I love PSH’s quick wit, his good converstion, his great sense of humour, his genuineness. He is great not only as an actor, singer, dancer, entertainer, but also as an interlocutor in his interviews.
Stefania Lupu You have said EXACTLY what I meant to say but couldn’t relate it as constructively as cleverly as you have.
Chai Hua Loke, don’t underestimate your clever and constructive comments too, that I like very much. Each of us , our own way, try to discover and praise the wonderful traits of an actor and person like PSH.
Oh you so kind Stefania! How nice to find you and Nance both at the other end of my computer this minute, on a lazy Friday afternoon after my stomach filled with nice desserts and feeling sleepy too. Chatting on facebook is a nice Friday afternoon agenda.
Nice for me too. Chai Hua Loke. It’s a gorgeous sunny Friday here too, after many days of rain.And being midday, I’ll go out in my garden ,for my half hour walk daily , with my earphones listening PSH’CD with his 12 songs. It’s so exciting and relaxing. By the way, may I call you Chaii Hua , as your first name? Have a nice and peaceful weekend!
Stefania Yes please do please call me Chai Hua. That’s my name. No middle name. You enjoy your walk ok? it sounds like the best activity of any day anywhere : accompanied by PSH’s songs
Nice to meet you Chai Hua.! And good night, as I think now is arounf midnight in Australia. In Bucharest is 15.38 , so I’ll go for another walk in my garden with PSH, singing me so softy in my ear.
