I cannot believe that I am writing this article during a time when I should be over the moon after five long years of vigil for the return of a good man. Park Sihoo-ssi.
Park Sihoo-ssi returns to mainstream Korean TV drama and as fans, we are all jumping for joy. However, this joy is marred by killjoys, mostly paid I suspect, who use all powerful family virtues as the excuse to say that he is unsuitable for a family drama.
A man whom the law of South Korea has deemed innocent. One whose only guilt being his overwhelming popularity leading the South Korean media to create massive social disturbances through their overzealous and unfounded reporting. “Fake news” as termed by one of the most powerful man in the world about the media. I venture to add “fake netizens” too, since a lot of these antis are not real audiences but paid for by people with vested interests. Look at how these “netizens” zeroed in on one or two articles in over the thousand press articles to object to Park Sihoo-ssi’s return. So suspicious, so fake! And those who are so easily influenced, so stupid!
I come from a traditional Asian family with good and strict family upbringing. My parents brought me up on family virtues of country and family before self, and with strong principles of honor, integrity, love and forgiveness. I would say my upbringing is second to none, including family values the South Koreans are so proud of. And I am pretty sure these values will have love and forgiveness said either explicitly or implicitly.
In my book of family virtues, an innocent person should be protected. A person who is misguided along the way should be forgiven and given a second chance when he or she is genuinely repentent. Family virtues are not just lip service but has to be put into practice and this should then be taught to your own off-springs, with you, yourself leading by example.
Park Sihoo-ssi is a man innocent in the eyes of the law. He might have erred being a man with a man’s desires. He is no different from any other South Korean man. South Korea’s colorful whorehouse history and the blatant use of sex and all sexual to sell its entertainment business of boy and girl bands are all proves of how un-conservative this nation is. So why have double standards? Is this fair?
There are those who say that even if he were innocent, as long as he has a tarnished image, even if he has gone through long years of self-reflection, he is still unfit for a family drama. I think this defies what I consider as exemplary behavior of good family virtues. Love and forgiveness? I think it is more hate and vengeance!
I humbly ask these people who so object to his return to self-reflect. You who claim to want to bring up your family with strong family virtues, are you setting a good example for your children? By not practicing what you preach, in this case, love and forgiveness, how credible will you be in the eyes of your children and their children after them?
Have some decency for the sake of your children!
家庭美德
我不能相信,为一个人守候了五年的时间,在他终于回归的时候,我应该是非常的兴奋,但我却在写这篇文章。
施厚君回归主流韩国电视剧,作为粉丝,我们都是跳跃着的兴奋。然而,这种喜悦却被一些缺德的人给破坏了,这些人认为他不适合回归家庭电视剧就因为他之前的经历。
一位在韩国法律上被认为是无辜的人,唯一的罪名就是他压倒性的人气,导致成韩国媒体过分的夸大毫无根据的报道,创造了巨大的社会动荡。这就是世界上最强大的人之一的口中经常提到的媒体“假消息”吗? 我冒昧地添加“假网民”,因为很多这些反对者黑子不是真正的观众,甚至是不存在的人,而是为既得利益的人付钱去炒作。 新闻发布会有上千篇文章,但这些所谓的“网民”就集中在一两篇文章给反对施厚君回归的评论。 多么可疑,明显的是造假!而那些不分青红皂白的路人是明显的傻瓜,也跟着去乱评!
我来自一个传统的亚洲家庭,受到父母良好和严格的家庭教育。他们教我家庭的美德,以国家和家庭为本,要有强大的的原则包括荣誉,诚信,博爱和宽容。可以说父母所教的是首屈一指,不差过韩国人自豪的家庭价值观。而我相信这些价值观会有明确或隐含的博爱和宽容的含义。
在我的家庭美德书中,意味着应该保护无辜的人。一路上误入歧途的人,应该得到原谅,给予第二次机会。家庭美德不仅是口头上的客套话,而是要付诸实践,然后以自己做榜样,教给下一代。
施厚君是一位在法律眼中无辜的人。他的错过可能就应为是个男人,有男人的欲望, 与其他韩国男人没两样。韩国丰富多彩的妓院历史,公然使用性去拓展娱乐业包括男孩和女孩乐队,足够证明这个国家并非保守。那么为什么要有双重标准来看待和处理事情呢?公平吗?
有些人说,无辜的人,只要有污点,即使是长时间的自我反省,也不适合演家庭电视剧。这种逻辑思维完全没有家庭美德的示范行为。博爱和宽容?我觉得这种态度更是憎恨和复仇!
我谦虚地问这些反对施厚句回归主流家庭剧的人是否有自我反思。你们声称要用强大的家庭美德来抚养自己的家人,但你们是否为孩子们树立榜样?所说的跟说做的是否一致?如果没有的,那你们的孩子和他们的孩子会相信和尊重你,以你为榜样吗?
为了下一代,自己得先要有些教养和礼仪吧!

I always hold the belief that when the odds are against you, is time of actions speak louder than words. The negatively intoxicated minds whether they are paid or influenced the choice is in their hands which path which belief they want to choose. Stay true to ourselves and we (and PSH) will have the last laugh. That’s my motto. The fact that KBS will go through such difficulties mean KBS has faith in PSH, KBS knows. The world nowadays is blur when fake news is news, fabricated facts are facts. If the people want to make the choice to follow the fabricated, want to pull a curtain over their eyes when their eyes can so easily see clearly they are the one losing out of what would have enhanced the beauty of their life experiences. Yesterday on some Chinese sub titled You tube of the Press Meet, I saw a Chinese named woman making all sorts of negative comment, in Chinese. What’s the best way for us fans when we come across such things that will boil our blood pressure? Just Ignore them, ignore, yes, ignore. No need to counter, disagree, dislike. Just ignore. The most powerful denial is being ignored.
I followed PSH’s case closely. I am sure that he is innocent. I am astonished to find some reporters who are misled by the “Fake” netizens. These netizens focus giving negative comments in just one or two newspapers. A strange phenomenon! People with common sense should know the reason behind it. Those evil people have hurt PSH greatly in the past and they are still intending to stop his comeback. I hope Korean could stand up to protect their innocent and treasurable actor, PSH. I hope the reporters all over the world please do some research before writing news articles.
Priscilla Leesh Absolutely, the people who choose to hurt PSH all have ulterior motive to benefit their own pockets. Meanwhile the media crave scandals, scandals that are associated with famous public figures, the more bombardstic scandal the more the media want to flock in and add their flavouring enhancement (their own interpretation) so to speak.
施厚是有錯(任何正常男女都可能犯這樣的錯),錯在身為公眾人物,沒有克制自己的欲望,有貪念的和自己欣賞的女孩子發生親蜜關係,卻沒想到這一切都是有心人士的搞鬼計劃,既然事情真相大白,就不應該再用這事去打壓他,還散播不實的言論,身為愛護施厚的粉絲,怎麼可能眼睜睜看他被抹黑呢!這些所謂的反對人士,請拿出良心來!用盡各種下濫方式對付一個這麼熱愛演藝工作的演員,你們真的是不怕天打雷劈嗎?
Not all people live up to the virtues of their upbringing. I’m used to double standards from when I was a child. We should not give those people more platform than they deserve. Let’s keep our focus on the positive vibes!
Totally, Wilma, totally with you.
There is a Romanian saying:”The dogs bark, the caravan goes by.” The message is:” don’t listen to every word you hear.”. The nietizens , who are very active again, can talk for nothing, as nobody , I mean the clear-minded people , will listen to them. And these people can sense , when someone is spreading faked rumours.They can feel this, and that social media can very quickly get fake. But these nietizens can’t fake quality,can’t fake the real truth, can’t fake reality, can’t fake creativity, can’t fake competance, can’t fake PSH. There’s not their lies that count, but mudding the integrity of PSH with their lies. These people are possessed by a mad devil and dull spirit, and their mind is concerned with calculating and interpreting theiir evil thoughts. So, I’ll take the Romanian saying, to not listen to every word I hear from these evil persons. And , by ignoring their evil thoughts , their influence and their potency will lose credibility day by day. Being ignored by all of us, whose attention means the world to them, is the worst feeling. One advice for PSH:” Be who you are, say what you feel, because those , with evil minds for you, don’t matter.” GO PARK SI HO GO!
This week, I have been and will be up to my eyeballs so I have not really paid much attention to the news articles other than to get the gist of what the press reported. However, my heart ached when I saw those negative comments, so very concerted in a vast majority. That really made me totally furious that I had to just blast it all out of my system on ParkSihooSsi.com. I will not even go near to rebut any of those comments directly. These scum of the earth are not worth the effort!
HIHIHI he is the only one who do the sigth with his right hand
stephania it’s french too : ‘les chiens aboient , la caravane passe” ! you re right.
Que rabia. Que hipócrita es la sociedad sensurandolo por que el es tan humano como cualquiera.
