Sky & Sea! We made music together with Park Sihoo! We love you!
海阔天空!与朴施厚一块创造音乐!我们爱你!
하늘 & 바다! 우리는 박시후와 함께 음악을 만들었다! 우리는 당신을 사랑해!
Oh man! 2 am in the morning! Remember that letter that moved us to tears from the US of A? Now I am almost in tears! Only completed half of Park Sihoo-ssi’s Odaiba “Sky & Sea” Talk Concert and Premium Live events! Finished the English part of Talk Concert. No where near yet to do the Chinese translation – will work on it tomorrow morning, if I have time…now, got to put my thoughts on that Friday night “live” or Premium Live event!
So after all the talk, talk, talk of the afternoon Talk Concert, we were so looking forward to the night’s Park Sihoo Premium Live. As promised, it was different. The program was more focused on song and dance and having a rollicking good time! And we certainly did! Friday night live, with our favourite man! Who can ask for more!
H Five a boy band group opened the show with two lively numbers. I had maybe 5 – 6 of their fans right behind me but their deafening screams hardly moved me. I was so focused on my quick dinner after sending out the last of the day’s message reminders to Park Sihoo-ssi fan groups! My stomach was more important! And we know who is even much more important!
Any way, I was glad they got off stage and we really started our Friday night enjoyment!
Park Sihoo-ssi’s Italian photo shoot video came on, same one as that of the afternoon. So we got to ogle again our gorgeousness!
Then the man himself appeared, dressed in a black, high fashion sailor looking number. Black jacket with gold trimmings, gold buttons looking like anchors, and modified captain’s stripes. Black tee, leg hugging snake skin pants and black boots, a circle pendant hanging on a long silver chain. Yeah! It was “Season in the Sun”! Park Sihoo-ssi’s signature number! Coming from behind the audience, he caused a ruckus among his fans, as expected…it was a slow and tough walk up on stage such that he actually forgot his lines! Hahaha!
And of course, our gracious man graciously apologised for that! Kwenchanna 괜찮아 or it’s all right, Park Sihoo-ssi! Your adoring fans will forgive you for anything!
Then breathlessly, after “Season”, he broke into “Will you marry me?” a song which was played near the end of his drama “Prosecutor Princess”.
A long interview with emcee followed…not knowing Korean or Japanese, I couldn’t catch head or tail but figured that this had to do with a questionnaire which we were asked to fill when we came in to the concert. Me not understanding Japanese, of course didn’t bother. But I believe fans were invited to ask him questions and he had to respond. The cameras panned up close to his face, till you can see his pores! Yes, perfect, flawless skin! Gosh, put me to shame! One thing never to do…never take a close up face shot with Park Sihoo-ssi!
He also had to turn around, take off his jacket and show his back. Sorry, we know those ripping muscles are there from all his hard gym work, but can’t see them behind the slightly loose tee! He then did different poses of his face. Love that profile shot…you know why!
Then I think he got grilled about something relating to Italy which he took a long time in answering…again, no understand, no translate!
He then sang the Princess Man (TPM) OST “Again, I Love You Today”, followed by his new song…don’t know the song title, except that it had lots of “because” or “taemunnae”…Beautiful renditions, both songs, in his strong, deep baritone!
Next they played another Italian fashion video – different from the others! My oh my, so many colourful and flashy outfits that made you dizzy! Even a woman won’t be caught wearing such colours and designs but then, Park Sihoo-ssi looked great! So gorgeous he made me drool! And so set the scene for Park Sihoo-ssi returning on stage. This time, in a new outfit that put him in the league of being a top Italian executive fashion model in a conservative, high quality suit. Black vest, cotton white shirt, black trousers and shining black leather shoes!
He was probably asked about his Italian fashion shoot and we caught still photos of beautiful background sceneries and even better looking man – one particular man! An outdoor street shot, boating fashion, indulging in pasta and even one looking longingly at a vending machine full of sweets? Not sure if they were sweets or toys…I caught something about Italy and then France and then Europe. Hmm…is Park Sihoo-ssi going to go European with his fashion modelling? Won’t go wrong there, he has that natural affinity to be a top model!
Then our Park Sihoo-ssi did a dance to an English song, something very rustic, reggae style which I cannot make out or figure out song title nor singer. European maybe? He danced from stage to audience, round the peripheral of the audience and then back up stage. So informal, so relaxed, so catch-me-if-you-can, so teasing, so charming, so Jean Thierry Cha, but more stylised and polished. Love this side of Park Sihoo-ssi! Unfortunately I was seated in the middle…not near enough to stretch out and touch!
He followed this by the catchy number “You are my lover, one more time” and then sat down to play the piano and sing his song! Whoa! I was charmed! Park Sihoo-ssi, is so talented! Who would figure him playing the piano? He took us by surprise!
He ended the segment with another signature song “Kimiwo”, a Japanese chart topper, before withdrawing for a change in clothes.
He came back wearing a knitted blue long jacket, black tee, black jeans and black boots! He sang a familiar song which I cannot remember what now…I got distracted! Look at that tee! Sexy! Transparent and see through! What a tease! *Drool* Then, he took off his knitted jacket and sang his signature song from “Cheongdamdong Alice”, “Shower”! Guitar in hand and the flipping of his head and hair! Yeah!
What, what, what! Ended already?
No, no, no! Encore, encore, encore! We want more! I want to hear again the Chibi Maruko-chan song! I love it and hope that he would sing it! He must have heard! He did! Coming back on stage with a red jacket with black lapels, white pocket square with black trimmings, white shirt, black jeans and spotting a bowler hat! And with his animal farm in tow – the horse, the duck, the pig and huh? A panda? That doesn’t fit in to an animal farm! But who cares! I am enjoying his candid act and cheerful song!
But all good things must come to an end! What a night! Even on a Friday night live!
Till next time, Park Sihoo-ssi! See you in Jeju! November 2016!

I really enjoyed yesterday’s Sky and Sea events. Got the chance to see him perform live and he didn’t disappoint at all. Met so many new friends too. Love the whole atmosphere soaked in. One beautiful memorable happy day as PSH posted in his ig after his superb performance which underscores the brilliance of this Korean star. Thanks Nance for today’s article which I will treasure and thanks too for the wonderful way you have looked after this novice. Priscilla and Catherine thanks for your friendship and sharing great stuff on our favorite man. And to all the other fans I managed to say hello despite the language barrier it’s wonderful to feel the strong sisterhood united in love and continued support for this gem of Korea.
I just want to say even I this far away I could sense the hardworks PSH has put in to yesterday performance. Big Thumbs up to our man who never fail to raise his own standard with every of his performance. Sihoossi we are so very proud of you, you are a legend!
I typed a long comment half way hb rang took the call and typing all gone………grrr….Now can’t repeat what I typed just now. Nance you know we all savour every word you wrote, you know that I am sure. You never failed to pamper us by sharing the perfect recollection of every PSH’s event and giving us the most precise perspective of all physically present : the entertainer (s) and the entertained fans. Brilliantly awesome is what my limited vocab can come up with right now. We are a spoilt lot – spoilt by PSH and spoilt by you Nance. If not Bob my dog hide my magic flying carpet, I would have flown to Odaiba to join you kekeke. Bob learnt to be smarter since I disappeared for 7 days last month. Anyway, I am SO HAPPY for you and the ladies who have had a great time yesterday, all of you, well done! Happy Days! Got to run, hope to chat more on all the things you shared from last night. Enjoy the rest of the time in Tokyo and safe flight back to home. Ciao
SKY and SEA! WE MADE THE MUSIC TOGETHER WITH PSH. WE LOVE YOU! “Dreams can come true” said PSH at his Talk Concert , Odaiba -Japan . Yes, if you pursue them, if you live them as he did. Yesterday PSH’s dreams came true , and the excitement of his dreams coming true was beyond the description of words.. I think it was a glorious feeling for him. Yesterday , at Odaiba Festival, PSH composed his dreams into a music , and from that moment he will always love to sing this music! Yesterday, PSH was breathtaking, was sublime, was wondrous. He could reveal his gorgeous talent as a good entertainer, a good singer and dancer, and even playing the piano, that doesn’t surprise me, on the contrary enchats me enormously. I can say , he is a complete musician, vocalist, instrumentalist, piano and guitar, composer too. For all those present at this unforgettable event, it was a pleasure to contemplate him in the immensity of his talent. Yes, PSH could reaped the benefit of his sublime and heroic self-sacrifice for his profession, of his every divine and brave challenge, adding little by little to the intensity and glory of his music, at his live concerts. Yesterday, PSH succeeded to climb his torch to the top, and now he can hand his torch over to the next generation! Climbing to the top demands willpower, determination, discipline, strength and hard work. but life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.And PSH has chosen the greatest adventure of his life. To climb to the top! And he has succeeded! CONGRATULATIONS PSH! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! WE LOVE YOU!
Nance always spoil us with news and very detailed presentations on the subject. PSH we all love, but I think Nance is more than all of us because she accompanies him everywhere and do much better bringing her many fans of the beloved actor. I said PSH is a mountain of talent, I knew more than his share acting, just this summer I watched with the help of Nance’s program music and even I was pleasantly surprised in that is very talented and it shows in -a specifically in front of the public. Much continued success and thank you tie Nance.
Thanks for this detailed report Nance! It is all so lively. You have outshone yourself by writing and publishing this all so fast! I enjoyed every piece of it! 🙂
