K-Wave’s November 2015 Chinese edition with Park Sihoo-ssi gracing its cover is making waves before anyone has even received the printed copy!
The cover presents a transformed Park Sihoo-ssi, dramatic, intense, dark and imposing, a complete contrast to what his fans are used to – the friendly, smiley, boyish and personable Park Sihoo-ssi. A 180 degrees turn, black versus white. Since their first glimpse of the photo on the cover of this widely distributed magazine, many Park Sihoo-ssi’s fans have been having “K-Wave cover conversations”. It has been a hot conversation piece over the web, internet chat groups, over meals and face-to-face meetings.
Fans are divided in their views. Some love it, some don’t.
Those who love it felt that visually it gave more depth of character to this versatile actor, adding to his repertoire of looks. He has done great work over a span of 10 years, particularly portraying the romantic, successful business executive. Getting back to the Korea entertainment scene, it is time for him to evolve and make a breakthrough with greater depth, broader spectrum and stronger roles. The cover photo re-positions and elevates him to a new level of maturity as an actor. Change is needed and the change is now.
Then, there are those who do not like the cover look, even though a couple of the inside pages were fine. For them, the Park Sihoo-ssi of old, the clean cut, innocent looking, approachable man-boy next door is who they have loved and associated him with for the longest time. They treasure him this way and this was how they would like him to continue to be. They know change is inevitable but a drastic about turn is not what they have in mind; a slow evolution would be more to their liking.
This K-Wave cover is certainly making waves! A good conversation piece to add to the buzz and excitement building up for Park Sihoo-ssi’s comeback drama and his return to the Korean entertainment scene!
For me, I like the more intense, mature look for a change. However much that I love the Park Sihoo-ssi of old, I know he can’t continue to play that young, romantic man forever. He needs to develop and grow, especially when he wants to be an actor all his life. And if I want to see him achieve his dream and be right there for him, I need to accept his change and see him evolve. No doubt, that Park Sihoo-ssi of old, that charming, gorgeous young man will always have a place in my heart – after all, he was who got me hooked on Park Sihoo-ssi!
So which camp do you belong to?
封面话题
K-Wave杂志的2015年11月中文版的印刷墨还未干,杂志还未到读者手上,可是这期的施厚君封面,已经成为热门话题了!
封面显出了施厚君的转型,有声有色,激烈,黑暗和气势,一个完整的对比,完全和以往厚粉们所习惯的施厚君风格来得不一样。一贯亲切,笑脸,孩子气和风度翩翩的形象,都被推翻了。一个180度的转变,黑与白的变化。自从第一眼看到这本广泛销售的杂志封面照后,一些厚粉们已经在网络,互联网聊天群,聚会用餐时,谈论这热门封面的话题。
厚粉们有自己不同的看法。有些喜欢,有些不喜欢。
那些喜欢的认为,在视觉上它显示出了这位多才多艺的演员更深厚的性格,加阔了他不同的面目。拥有着超过10年的演艺生涯,特别是描绘浪漫,成功的企业商人, 重回到韩国娱乐圈,现在是时候, 需要发展转变,并以更深厚,更广泛和更强大的角色做突破。封面照片重新定位,并提升了他作为演员的成熟度。他需要转型,而现在正是最好的时机。
然而,也有那些不喜封面图片的,即使对内页的一两张照片觉得还可以。对她们来说,最喜欢的就是以往的施厚君,单纯,无忧无虑,平易近人,邻家大男孩的形象,她们深爱已久的施厚君。这是她们珍惜他的原因,希望他继续这样。她们也知道变化是难免的,但大幅大变并非理想,缓慢的演变会比较好些。
K-Wave的封面掀起了波浪!一个热门的话题,增添了厚粉们的讨论和兴奋,希望也可以帮助施厚君复出的宣传!
对我来说,我喜欢那更激烈,成熟神色的施厚君。即使很爱以往的施厚君,我也知道他不能永远饰演那年轻,浪漫的男士。他需要发展和成长,尤其是当他想当一辈子的演员。我若想看到他实现他的梦想,一直守候和支持着他,那我需要接受他的转变和发展。毫无疑问,那迷人,华丽的小伙仔会永远在我心里有一定的地位,他可是让我迷上施厚君的那位啊!
那么,妳是属于哪个阵营呢?

cool. Always start the day with the body to the mind healthy and we will be delighted at the happy hours or send. “Cheer always love you.”
I love the previous warm and friendly look of PSH more. It is his true character. But it is the right time for he to change his look in his acting career. He shows deep feelings in all the photos in K Wave. Each photo tells a story.
I don’t dislike his serious non smiley look. I only dislike the thick coat of dark powder on his natural clean fair cimplexion gees I feel I could almost peel that coating off. No objection to him into edgy mature roles either in fact much welcomed plus I thought he had already done such serious role/ look in Ijime.
Not saying you 🙂 So many voices and opinion on that cover I hear…
No didn’t take it you are saying me haha I am thick skin type
“A transformed PSH’, as he appears on the cover of K Wave magazine, is for me too spontaneous and surprising. And I must accept that time changes everything, except something within us which is always surprised by changes. Even if I like or not , time passes irrevocably and we know that people are valued for what they do at the present moment. Although PSH remains for me the fabulous romantic in his previous K. dramas , time has come for him to a change , this change meaning for making him growing and becoming more important as an actor, more mature, more intense. He definitely looks for his role in “NH” to help his audience keep a good perception of his new change. Because nothing can stop him for achieving his goal. And his ability, motivation and attitude determine how well he can do his transformation, believing in himself, as no one else does. So, I must admit that : “Life is a journey and it’s about growing and chainging and coming to terms with who and what you are and loving who and what you are.”[Kelly McGillis]. And for sure PSH thinks so. And I do the same, joining those accepting the change.
