Life will be beautiful!
I don’t think it would be cliche to say time flies…because it really does. Can’t believe that 2016 flew by so very quickly and we are at the start of 2017! I have hardly caught my breath yet!
Life must have been beautiful for time to fly at such break-neck speed!
2016? I would sum up as a year of engagement for Park Sihoo-ssi and solidifying of our Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood. This is of course my personal view.
Park Sihoo-ssi’s comeback to Korean entertainment
Park Sihoo-ssi’s comeback to Korea entertainment started with the kick-off of his return drama “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”) on OCN. Being paid TV, the audience reach was narrower compared to the big three Korean broadcasting stations. But it was a calculated, prudent move as it was the first step and things were still uncertain. He had to be cautious in starting his journey of engagement, slowly easing back into the entertainment scene and into the hearts of his audience. His hero Baek Siyoon showed that he has not lost his touch as a superb actor, in fact he is now much more impressive and capable! Beautiful man, brilliant touch!
We gladly and warmly welcomed back our favourite man!
He showed the world his versatility and his immense talent, not just as an actor, but an entertainer. His Tokyo “Live” concerts and his Odaiba “Sky and Sea” Talk Concert and Premium Live Event were proves of these. He wowed his audience with his scintillating performances, singing and dancing and keeping his audience in awe and captive.
Reaching out to engage his fans
He also set about engaging his fans through closer, more personal interactions. So we saw his drama on-location shoot, his 38th birthday celebration, Miyazaki and Jeju fan meetings and had a personal tour of his new Hoo Factory office. Each was a touch point for him with his fans, just as he had promised that he would become closer. I can’t say for anyone else, but I am so glad to have participated in all of Park Sihoo-ssi’s activities in 2016. I have enjoyed each and every one of these events. They gave me opportunities to get to “know” him better, to know him not as the beyond reach superstar but the more personable, real life man, as ordinary as he could be. These for me are much more enriching and make him more endearing! Extraordinary man!
Celebrating Park Sihoo-ssi’s 38th birthday in Buyeo
The beautiful experience of 2016 was not just the activities and the face-to-face meetings with our favourite man, but also his fans becoming closer together as a result. Our sisterhood bloomed and grew, bringing us from across the world together as we rallied together in support of Park Sihoo-ssi. The many sharing and conversations we have daily on our sites about this extraordinary actor and man. The charity projects that have been embarked in the name of Park Sihoo-ssi. Relentless voting to ensure our man stays on top of critical Hallyu charts. From four corners of the world, we buzzed together in unison on the world wide web to create hype for his Tokyo “Live” concerts and again for his Odaiba “Sun and Sea” events. So many going-ons in 2016 that made our lives colourful and beautiful!
And while not because of want of effort, 2016 had not been smooth sailing for him. Disruptions were aplenty and beyond his control, derailing him from his well laid plans. From political to legal tussles, impacting country and industry, luck wasn’t on his side. But, man that he is, he will persevere!
Life was beautiful in 2016. Such sweetness and joy but with a pinch of salt and maybe some pepper. But that is what makes life more interesting!
And life will be beautiful in 2017! It will be how Park Sihoo-ssi makes it out to be! Fighting! And we will be right by your side, fighting with you!
Life in 2017 will be more beautiful!
生活将会美丽！
经常听人说“时间飞奔而过”…真的是这样。不能相信2016年过得真快，已经是2017年的开头了！都还没有叹气呢！
生活应该是美丽，所以时间飞奔得这么个速度！
2016？我总结为施厚君的互动参与， 也凝固了我们施厚君姐妹帮的一年。当然这只是我个人的看法。
Our hero returned in OCN’s Local Hero!
他真正回归韩国娱乐是从他的OCN电视剧“小区英雄”（“邻家英雄”）的开始。因为是付费电视台，与三大韩国电台相比，观众的覆盖面比较窄。但这是一个好计划，谨慎的举动，毕竟是回归的第一步，事情仍然不确定。他必须谨慎地展开他的互动参与的旅程，慢慢地回到娱乐圈和他的观众的心中。他的英雄白时允显示他完全没有失去他的演技才华，事实上可以看到他的表现更令人留下深刻印象和显示出他的能力！俊帅的男神，辉煌的表现！
他也向世界展示了他的多才多艺和巨大的天赋，不仅是一位演员，还是一位杰出的艺人。他的东京“现场”音乐会和在日本台场的“海空”音乐会和活动证明了这一点。他优秀的表演，歌唱和舞蹈，使观众惊艳，引她们陶醉入神。
Miyazaki was pure magic
他还设置了可以跟他的粉丝更密切互动的活动。在2016年，他安排了探班，现场看他拍摄电视剧，他38岁生日庆祝活动，日本宫崎和韩国济州岛粉丝见面会， 并参观了他的新厚工厂办公室。正如他之前所承诺的，要更接近他的粉丝，每个活动都是他跟粉丝的接触和互动点。不能为他人说话，我非常高兴在2016年能够参加施厚君的所有活动。我非常喜欢每一个活动，因为它们给我机会去更好地“认识”和了解施厚君，认识的不是远望着的超级巨星，而是更人性化，更接近现实生活的普通男生。这些对我的印象更丰富，让他显得更加可爱！我厚是非凡的男人哦！
2016年美丽的经历不仅是施厚君的活动和与他本人的会面，而是他的厚粉们更接近和互动的的一年。 我们姐妹的感情盛开并增长，从世界各地把我们拉在一起，一齐联手支持施厚君。 我们每天在网络上有许多分享和对话关于这位非凡的演员和男生。开展和执行以施厚君的名义的慈善项目。 不停的为他投票，确保他在关键的韩流排行榜上名列前茅。 从世界的四个角落，我们一起同声的为他的东京“现场”演唱会，还有日本台场“海空”活动在互联网上做宣传。 在2016年，我们为施厚君创了好多的活动和声音，也使我们的生活过得更丰富和多姿多彩！
虽然不断的在努力，但去年不是顺利航行着。面对好多超出他可控制的挫折，使他的计划脱轨道。从政治到法律斗争，影响了国家和行业，运气不在他身边。但是，以他的性格，他会一直坚持着！
生活在2016年是美丽的。甜蜜和快乐，但加了少许的酸辣。但这样生活才会更有趣！
生活在2017年将会更美丽！就看施厚君如何去争取他的成功吧！加油！我们会一直在你的身边，与你一起战斗！

Its true..good day..
Today, the year-end summary of the taste! Really admire, chasing every step, there is no fall of the author, to be excellent physical strength! Although life is real, sour, sweet, bitter, hot taste, bitter taste, but personal rejection! Change in the real world, people can not easily believe, but we still need to pay, and we trust! The times are changing, the character and the mind are the most important! A road to the light, moments of gratitude, support and encourage others at the same time, but also to cheer himself! 2016, may feel a little smooth, is already in the past, the lack of reflection, to be able to move forward! At any time, please attention, seriously, and prosperity! Whether it is chasing you and me, or Shi Houjun’s team, the growth of the journey of the screen, in 2017, still hope to be kind to themselves, regain confidence, harvest a happy year!
Yes it is……… 😉
Throughout the life we keep asking for something or other from God but often forget that he has already given us the best thing at our birth – A beautiful Life.

Happy new year
Well as we Chinese seem to observe, the year of the Monkey (2016) usually is rather michevious, with lots of ups and downs. By end of this month the lunar new year will see the Monkey takes the backstage while the Rooster comes to take charge. So, Nance, your article today has so accurately sum up the important waves of 2016 in PSH world that we as fans have observed. Not sure how PSH himself would sum it up himself. He probably is more critical of himself as I would imagined, being the high standard minded person he is. And yes, 2016 is the year of engaging myself into the PSH world. 2015 was merely touch surface just at the tip of the icing of the cake when I 1st learnt of his existence. 2016 I had my once in a life time chance to go meet the man himself. Like you said, not the beyond reach superstar, but a very grounded humble caring superstar as far as his fans are in his context. I will forever remember that acknowledged tone of his “” a-r-h-h-h”” when I said to him (my 1st face to face) “”Sihoossi, Australia”” and I remember his eyes quickly looked at me the moment I uttered the “”Sihoossi”” then after I said “”Australia”” and pat my chest as gesture, he said “” arrrhhhh…”” that sounded like “””ahhhh….so you are that trouble maker….””” Hahaha, no, I am only joking, I didn’t know what his arrrhhh meant but certainly has a tinge of a kind of acknowledgement sound or the kind of “”oh so you are that Australian fan who only joined this event the very last minute ……and made trouble for my team in order to accommodate you…””. Whatever that arhhh meant to be, it is a personal response from Sihoossi to me, with that honey coated baritone voice of his, goes down forever in my memory of this superstar who I render my full support. That’s my executive summary of my own world that involves PSH in the year that has just become history. Here’s Cheers to 2017 where every fan would seize their own moments in time and create their own memory of PSH.
Nance, your retrospective assessesment of the year 2016 reflects the greatest accomplishments PSH has made in his career. And there are many things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. We all are happy that 2016 has been spent by PSH the best way he possibly could. Another fresh new year 2017 is here and I believe that PSH will live this bright new year with zest, trying to be his highest and the best. And all of us will support him to bring the glory of his career and happiness of his life. “HOPE smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering : “It will be happier.”[ Alfred Tennyson]
Stefania – yes it will be happier for PSH in 2017. I see him accomplishing much, making bows to his audience from centre stage as they roar ‘encore! encore!’ in response to one brilliant performance after another. He is certainly not just flavor of the season only. The brilliance and shine of his talents are sure to outlast those of many others.
Dorothy , very well said:” The brilliance and shine of his talent are sure to outlast those of many others.” That justifices why I can’t watch new or old K. dramas , where PSH is not playing. Because in non of them, the actors couldn’t impress me with their acting. Because for PSH :”Ecellence is a habit” [Aristotel]. Because he is what he repeatedly does, because he is acting rightly, because he knows that he should be really excellent. Because this is his life!
Stefania Lupu same issue I face – other dramas without PSH cannot sustain my interest at all. We have great discerning taste? Haha! But then his acting is just so consistently brilliant. And every now and then when I need a quick good laugh all I have to do is view some of his goofy scenes in many videos posted in ig of his fans ( extracts from his dramas in FH, PP, CDDA ) and they are rib tickling hilarious. I of course won’t be able to
laugh watching TPM. I will just be enthralled.
And to confirm my adiction to his dramas, just these days I am rewatching “CDD” , that enchants me so much and his good acting representing the consistency of performance.
Stefania Lupu CDDA is a gem from beginning to end. This morning I managed a glimpse of that scene with his character JTC plotting revenge on his ex! Funny but so enchanting….
That’s an excellent article from you Nance. Insightful and timely assessment of PSH’s accomplishment in 2016. Having just stepped into PSH’s ‘world’ in 2016, I marvel not so much at what has been accomplished by him last year that shows by way of statistics (ratings and figures) but by observing at the way he went about his comeback with great fighting spirit but dosed with huge amount of patience and tolerance, thoughtful strategy and most importantly with quiet dignity. Certainly like what I saw and learned of this man, that he is good and gracious beyond that of his charm, charisma and acting brilliance. I envisage an exciting year for PSH in 2017 and I am so happy to be part of this sisterhood to cheer him on. He so deserves our continued support, long term!
